Data from public FDD filings and SBA records. Not financial advice. Methodology
14 legal cases disclosed in the FDD. Read Item 3 before signing.
Bottom line
- Total investment N/A, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- Item 19 discloses "Revenue Contribution" rather than annual gross sales, so unit revenue is not directly comparable.
- Verdict F (Bottom Quintile) with a risk score of 100/100.
- 14 litigation matters disclosed in Item 3, higher than typical. Review the summary for patterns (franchisor-initiated vs. franchisee-initiated).

Score breakdown · what drove the 100 / 100 rating
- 01MINORExtremely high investment range ($18.9M–$32.7M) with minimal unit growth (only 9 units at 12.5% YoY) suggests poor ROI trajectory and high barrier to entry relative to system size
- 02MEDNo disclosed average revenue or net income (missing Item 19) prevents validation of profitability claims; combined with high royalty rate (5% GRR) makes financial performance opaque
- 03HIGHMultiple active litigation exposures including FTC settlement for cybersecurity breaches, class actions for price-fixing via revenue management software, fraudulent fee misrepresentation, and surreptitious recording of calls—indicates systematic compliance and trust issues
- 04HIGHGoing Concern = False signals potential financial instability at corporate level, raising questions about franchise support infrastructure and long-term viability
- 05MINOROnly 9 franchised units is extremely small for a major hotel brand, suggesting weak franchisee recruitment/retention and possible market rejection of the model
