What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Delta Hotels By Marriott's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if restaurants, bars, or lounges within the hotel meet the food and beverage requirements, the franchisee may be required to implement a pay-at-table solution. To implement this, the hotel must install an LSP firewall solution. The ongoing cost for this LSP solution is approximately $125 per month. This cost is payable to third parties.
This means that a Delta Hotels By Marriott franchisee may incur an additional monthly expense of $125 for the LSP solution, depending on the hotel's food and beverage offerings and the requirement to implement a pay-at-table system. This cost should be factored into the overall operating expenses of the franchise.
It is important for prospective franchisees to clarify with Delta Hotels By Marriott whether their specific hotel location will require the pay-at-table solution and, consequently, the LSP firewall. Understanding the specific requirements and associated costs will help in accurately forecasting the financial performance of the franchise.
