Days inn & suites franchise investment pitch deck 2026

Why now, and what urgent local customer need does this franchise unit address?

Travelers at high-traffic interchanges need a premium economy experience that bridges the gap between basic motels and expensive full-service hotels. This unit addresses the lack of modern, tech-enabled lodging near major airport hubs. Location is the only thing you can't change later.

Local Demand Drivers

• High-traffic airport proximity
• Tech-savvy traveler needs
• Gap in premium economy

What does this franchise unit offer, and why is its solution meaningfully better than local alternatives?

The unit offers modernized suites and contactless check-in, providing a frictionless guest journey. By integrating local dining packages, we provide an authentic destination experience that standard economy brands lack. Friction is the enemy of the modern guest.

Meaningful Differentiation

• Contactless check-in tech
• Local flavor packages
• Upgraded suite furnishings

Who buys from this franchise unit, and how big is the local opportunity?

We target interstate travelers, regional business professionals, and youth sports groups. With Year 1 revenue projected at $1,350,000, the local opportunity is substantial for a well-positioned hospitality franchise investment proposal. Volume is the engine of the economy segment.

Market Size and Segments

• Interstate transit volume
• $1.35M Year 1 revenue
• Regional sports group demand

How does this franchise unit make money, and what are the core revenue streams?

Revenue comes from room rentals, package upsells, and group bookings. With a 5.5% royalty and 3% marketing fee, store-level margins stay healthy because we manage labor and utilities efficiently. Watch the pennies and the dollars take care of themselves.

Revenue and Margins

• Room rental growth
• 5.5% royalty fee
• Package upsell revenue

Who are the main local competitors, and what is this franchise unit's defensible edge?

Main competitors are standard economy motels and independent airport hotels. Our edge is the global loyalty program and modern tech, creating a moat through repeat demand and a solid hotel operational plan. A loyalty program is a moat that competitors can't easily cross.

Defensible Edge

• Global loyalty program
• Modernized facility standards
• Tech-enabled guest autonomy

How much funding is required, and what milestones will that unlock?

Total funding covers the $35,000 franchise fee and $1.5M in leasehold improvements. We hit break-even in April 2026, just 4 months after launch, which is a critical milestone in our hotel franchise ROI analysis. Speed to break-even is the best metric for any new operator.

Funding and Milestones

• $35k franchise fee
• $1.5M build-out
• 4-month breakeven target
