What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Loyalty Program Contribution is due on the same date as the Royalty fee. The Royalty fee is due monthly, on the 15th of the following month. The Loyalty Program Contribution is 4.55% of Qualifying Full Folio Revenue from Loyalty Program members and 1.365% of GRR on Qualifying Room and Meeting Revenue from Loyalty Program members. This fee is payable to SCH.
This means that as an Even Hotels franchisee, you will need to calculate and remit the Loyalty Program Contribution monthly, aligned with your royalty payments. This contribution is based on a percentage of revenue generated from Loyalty Program members, so accurate tracking of revenue from these members is crucial.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that these fees can impact their overall profitability, and it's important to factor them into financial projections. Understanding how the Loyalty Program affects revenue and expenses is a key part of assessing the financial viability of an Even Hotels franchise.
