What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Delta Hotels By Marriott Franchise Disclosure Document, participation in a weekly strategy review call is required for franchisees who opt for the Tier III Revenue Management Advisory Services (RMAS). This call is 60-minutes in length and rotates between four themes, accompanied by a more detailed monthly group strategy packet. This service offering is primarily available to hotels with CI/TY, Core FS hotels, or Dynamic MSB hotels that require additional time spent on revenue management activities due to factors such as brand, market demand, group mix, number of hotel rooms, or complexity of room pools.
Delta Hotels By Marriott's RMAS leverages systems efficiency to provide weekday pricing and inventory support. For MSB hotels, a business evaluation is also available. Franchisees should note that weekend support is offered for an additional fee, providing extended hours support beyond the standard weekday service.
Therefore, while a weekly strategy meeting is not a universal requirement for all Delta Hotels By Marriott franchisees, it is a component of the Tier III RMAS package. Franchisees should carefully consider their specific needs and the complexity of their hotel's revenue management requirements when deciding whether to opt into this service and its associated obligations.
