What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bw Premier Collection Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must maintain a passing BWI quality assurance ("QA") assessment rating. Bw Premier Collection may provide its standards for what it considers a passing QA assessment rating to franchisees in writing from time to time. The tables of contents of the current versions of these standards are attached as Exhibits H-1 and H-2 of the FDD.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that maintaining a satisfactory quality assurance rating is a condition of operating a Bw Premier Collection franchise. Failing to meet the required standards could result in penalties or termination of the franchise agreement. The specific criteria for the QA assessment are not detailed in this section, but the franchisee can find the tables of contents for these standards in Exhibits H-1 and H-2.
Quality assurance programs are common in the franchise industry, particularly in hospitality, to ensure brand consistency and customer satisfaction. Franchisees should carefully review Exhibits H-1 and H-2 and understand the QA standards to ensure they can consistently meet Bw Premier Collection's expectations. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to discuss the specifics of the QA assessment with existing franchisees during their due diligence.
