How many card transactions should a Crowne Plaza franchisee complete per sale?

According to the 2025 Crowne Plaza FDD, a franchisee should complete one card transaction per sale. This requirement ensures that each card transaction accurately reflects a legitimate purchase of merchandise or services provided by the Crowne Plaza hotel.

This condition helps maintain the integrity of card transactions and reduces the risk of disputes or fraudulent activities. By adhering to this standard, Crowne Plaza aims to ensure that each transaction is directly tied to a specific sale, which can simplify reconciliation and auditing processes for the franchisee.

Complying with this requirement is essential for franchisees to remain in good standing with both Crowne Plaza and the card organizations. Failure to adhere to this standard could potentially lead to penalties, increased scrutiny, or even the loss of card processing privileges. Therefore, franchisees must ensure their point-of-sale systems and staff training reflect this requirement.
