What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for public access computers ranges from $5,400 to $7,700. This cost covers the installation of designated workstations and a multi-function printer in the business center, providing complimentary internet access to hotel guests.
These public access computers must be available 24 hours a day and include IHGSCH-approved security protection software, along with enrollment in a 24x7 support program from an IHGSCH-approved vendor. The computers must be refreshed every four years, with at least one computer having Microsoft Office. All computers must operate at the same or greater bandwidth port speed as other internet-enabled devices on the guest internet access network.
A prospective Even Hotels franchisee should factor this cost into their initial investment. It is important to note that you may be required to sign a participation agreement with an approved vendor for these services. The FDD indicates that payment is required as specified by the suppliers.
