What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham FDD, if a franchisee operates a dual-branded facility with La Quinta, one general manager and the same staff can operate both the La Quinta Facility and the Hawthorn Facility. This is allowed as long as the general manager and staff meet the standards set by both franchisors.
This dual operation aims to streamline management and staffing for franchisees who operate both brands at the same location. By allowing a single general manager and staff to oversee both facilities, Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham intends to reduce operational complexities and costs for franchisees.
However, it's crucial for franchisees to ensure that the appointed general manager and staff are adequately trained and capable of meeting the operational standards of both the Hawthorn Suites By Wyndham and La Quinta brands. Franchisees should carefully review the training requirements and operational guidelines outlined in both franchise agreements to maintain compliance and ensure the quality of service across both facilities.
