What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 11 describes that Hyatt Franchising, L.L.C. will identify the brands, types, makes, and/or models of FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) and other items that meet the System Standards. This includes both products and services. If required, The Standardx will designate and approve suppliers of these items.

The Standardx or its designated affiliate will directly provide, deliver, and in some cases, install certain items. The Standardx will also provide franchisees with the names of approved suppliers for some items. The System Standards or other communications will outline the standards and specifications for certain items.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that The Standardx has specific requirements for the types of FF&E used in the hotel, and franchisees must adhere to these standards. This ensures brand consistency and quality across all The Standardx locations. Franchisees may be required to purchase certain items directly from The Standardx or approved suppliers, which could impact costs and procurement processes. It is important for potential franchisees to carefully review the System Standards to understand these requirements and associated costs.
