What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to The Standardx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the responsibility for installing IT electric and cabling is divided between Hyatt IT and the General Contractor. Hyatt IT is responsible for reviewing the specifications of hotel-selected vendors. The General Contractor has primary performance responsibility.
Specifically, The Standardx provides IT Systems Electric and Low Voltage Cabling Specifications, while the General Contractor is tasked with providing the physical installation of these systems. This division of responsibility highlights the importance of coordination between The Standardx, the franchisee, and the contractor during the construction and setup phase.
For a prospective franchisee, this means they will need to work closely with both The Standardx IT team and the General Contractor to ensure that the IT infrastructure is installed according to the brand's standards. The franchisee should ensure clear communication and defined roles to avoid delays or miscommunication during the installation process. The franchisee should also confirm that the General Contractor is experienced with hotel IT systems to ensure a smooth installation.
