What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Springhill Suites By Marriott Franchise Disclosure Document, the one-time set-up fee for Revenue Management Advisory Services is $3,500 USD. This fee applies if the hotel did not participate in the franchisor's revenue management services during 2024. However, a new-build hotel or a hotel recently converted to a Marriott brand franchised hotel will not be assessed this fee if the franchisee signed a letter of intent more than 60 days prior to opening. The fee is due 60 days after the Commencement Date.
The set-up services include a systems diagnostic audit conducted by the Revenue Management team. Key elements covered by the fee include the One Yield 5 step inventory process, rate program reviews, special event setup, review of RPO comp set, Super Nova rate parity, High Performance Pricing setup, and eFast setup.
This fee is a one-time cost, meaning franchisees only pay it if they are new to the Revenue Management Advisory Services. This setup ensures that the hotel's systems are properly integrated and optimized for revenue management. The audit encompasses a comprehensive review of various pricing and inventory management processes, which are crucial for maximizing revenue. Franchisees should ensure they understand the scope of the audit and the changes that will be implemented to optimize their systems.
