Overview
About
Franchisees operate Dazzler Select branded hotels under Wyndham's management system, handling daily hospitality operations, guest services, housekeeping, and front-desk functions. Revenue derives from room bookings managed through Wyndham's reservation and distribution systems, with franchisees retaining revenue after paying $85/month per room to the franchisor and covering operating expenses.

Risk & Legal
A zero-unit, pre-revenue franchise concept backed by a going-concern parent company with extensive pending litigation, no financial disclosures, and unproven economics presents extreme execution risk unsuitable for most investors.
Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing concern warning indicates parent company financial distress or viability questions
- 02MINORZero existing franchise units with unknown growth trajectory suggests failed or pre-launch brand with no proven model
- 03HIGHActive litigation across multiple categories (breach of contract, antitrust, class actions) indicates systemic operational and legal issues
- 04MEDNo disclosed average revenue or net income prevents ROI validation and suggests poor franchisee performance or data concealment
- 05HIGHHigh royalty structure ($85/room/month) combined with broad fee litigation history raises concerns about hidden costs and franchisee profitability
- 06MINORRecent FTC settlement for cybersecurity breaches indicates inadequate data protection and brand reputation risk
- 07MINORWyndham's history of resort fee and marketing fee class actions suggests franchisees may inherit liability exposure
