What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Caption By Hyatt Franchise Disclosure Document, the current charges for System Services are described in Item 6. Item 8 refers to System Services as comprising Mandatory Services and Non-Mandatory Services. Franchisees must participate in all Mandatory Services and may opt to participate in Non-Mandatory Services.
Caption By Hyatt may modify these System Services periodically, including adding to or deleting from them. The scope and manner of providing System Services may also change with notice to the franchisee.
The FDD also notes that due to differences in products, services, markets, and hospitality experiences among Brand Hotels and other Hyatt Network Hotels, Caption By Hyatt may classify certain System Services as Mandatory for some hotels and Non-Mandatory for others. They may also choose not to provide certain System Services to some hotels or limit the scope of services provided to franchised Brand Hotels.
