When unpacking Caption By Hyatt systems components, who is responsible for the disposal of packing materials?

According to Caption By Hyatt's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for the disposal of packing materials when unpacking system components. This task is specifically included within the scope of services for computing environment setup and configuration. The unpacking of systems components includes the firewall, domain controller server, administrative network switch, all workstations, and miscellaneous hardware.

This means that as a Caption By Hyatt franchisee, you will need to budget time and resources for the proper disposal of all packing materials that come with the IT equipment. This could involve arranging for recycling or waste removal services, depending on local regulations and the volume of materials. It's important to factor in these logistics during the hotel's development and opening phase to ensure compliance with environmental standards and maintain a clean and organized workspace.

While Caption By Hyatt provides IT Project Management Services to assist with the installation and implementation of technology systems, the actual hands-on tasks like unpacking and disposal fall under the franchisee's responsibilities. This division of labor is typical in franchising, where the franchisor provides guidance and support, but the franchisee manages the day-to-day operations and physical tasks at the hotel level. Therefore, the franchisee should coordinate with the IT vendors and hotel staff to ensure the efficient and responsible disposal of packing materials during the IT setup process.
