What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to pay additional fees for pre- and post-opening consultations and inspections. These fees are associated with on-site visits, rescheduling visits, or extending the hotel's opening date.
These additional fees are payable to SCH (presumably the parent company of Even Hotels) or their designated representatives. The fees will not exceed $5,000 per visit.
In addition to these fees, the franchisee is also responsible for covering the travel, living, and lodging expenses of the SCH representatives while they conduct the visits. This means that the total cost of these consultations and inspections can be significantly higher than just the $5,000 fee, depending on the duration and location of the visits.
