What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Delta Hotels By Marriott's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Global Recipe Database has two costs associated with it. The first is a software license that costs $1,000 per year, and this is payable to BirchStreet Systems, the vendor. The second is an annual maintenance charge of $1.00 per guestroom, but this charge will not exceed $800 per year, and it is payable to Delta Hotels By Marriott.
The Global Recipe Database is a software application that allows users to control recipe creation, components, costing, sharing, and scaling. This type of system is particularly useful for hotels with restaurants or bars, as it helps manage food costs and ensure consistency in recipes across different locations.
For a prospective Delta Hotels By Marriott franchisee, it's important to factor in both the direct vendor cost and the maintenance charge payable to the franchisor when budgeting for technology expenses. The maintenance charge capped at $800 could be a beneficial factor for larger hotels with many guestrooms, as it prevents the maintenance cost from escalating excessively. Franchisees should confirm with Delta Hotels By Marriott the current approved vendor for the Global Recipe Database and whether there are any alternative approved systems.
