What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the current System Services and charges are detailed in Item 6. System Services consist of Mandatory Services and Non-Mandatory Services. Franchisees in full compliance with the Franchise Agreement will receive System Services that The Standardx periodically specifies. Franchisees must participate in all Mandatory Services and related programs and may opt to participate in any or all Non-Mandatory Services and related programs. Mandatory Services must be acquired only from a member of the Hyatt Group.
The Standardx may periodically add to, delete from, and otherwise modify these System Services, and the scope and manner of providing System Services, upon notice to franchisees. Due to differences in products, services, markets, and hospitality experiences among Brand Hotels and other Hyatt Network Hotels, The Standardx may classify certain System Services as Mandatory for some hotels and Non-Mandatory for others, not provide certain System Services to some hotels, or limit the scope of System Services provided to franchised Brand Hotels.
Item 6 includes all of the services offered pursuant to the Central Services Agreement, which are generally Non-Mandatory Services but in certain circumstances may be designated as Mandatory Services as a condition of The Standardx's approval of the Hotel's management company, as consideration for other items negotiated as part of the Franchise Agreement, or as part of the requirements of the Quality Assurance and Compliance Program. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 6 of the FDD to understand the full scope of System Services and associated charges.
