What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, System Hotels have access to BestREV, Bw Premier Collection's proprietary revenue management software. While using BestREV is not mandatory, it is offered to System Hotels at no additional cost. However, to utilize BestREV, hotels must have Bw Premier Collection's two-way Interface and participate in their Rate Shopping Service.
BestREV provides daily rate recommendations aimed at optimizing revenue and integrates with most Property Management Systems (PMS) to implement the recommended changes. This integration suggests that Bw Premier Collection aims to provide a seamless experience for hotels that choose to use BestREV, allowing for efficient management of rates and revenue.
For a prospective Bw Premier Collection franchisee, this means that while BestREV is optional, it could be a valuable tool for maximizing revenue. However, franchisees should consider the costs and requirements associated with the two-way Interface and participation in the Rate Shopping Service to determine if using BestREV is beneficial for their specific situation. Since the document states that BestREV is offered at no additional cost, it is important to confirm that the two-way interface and rate shopping service do not incur costs that would offset the benefits of using BestREV.
