Managed Hotel to Franchise Hotel Conversions from Cardonet IT Services

Managed to Franchise Conversions

Most of the major international hotel groups are divesting their property portfolios, so the opportunity to convert a managed hotel into a franchised hotel is greater than ever. Like any franchise agreement, you will need to make the necessary changes and investments to ensure that your hotel is up to the standard that both the brand and your guests expect.

This is partly in the physical infrastructure, like fixtures and furnishings. Another part is the IT systems and IT platform. You may be able to continue to use some of the infrastructure, but you will most likely have to invest further and migrate systems away from the brand, potentially without impacting your normal hotel operations.

When taking over a managed hotel, it is a good idea to work closely with the brand and other stakeholders on an agreed transition plan. Such a plan would include what systems need to be improved and what is needed to get the new franchised hotel trading with the brand flag flying high.

On the day of transfer, you will have to be able to migrate systems away from the brand, while at the same time ensuring that your new systems are working as required with core brand systems.

You will also take over responsibility for all the hotel technology. You will need to ensure that your users are supported 24/7 so that your guests are looked after and your revenue and reputation is protected.

Our team has a great deal of experience working with multiple brands on the conversion of managed hotels into franchise hotels. We will be able to ensure a seamless transition of service.

Managed Hotel to Franchise Hotel Conversion Benefits

You get to invest in a solid hotel and can take on an established brand identity.

By franchising your hotel, you get access to a wide market who recognize your brand and trust you to deliver to a known level of customer service.

Get access to systems such as a central reservation system, website, GDS, marketing etc.

You are able to access 'ready-made' systems and expertise that should make trading easier. At the same time, however, you will be responsible for local IT services and support.

You reduce your risk of failure, enjoy an established market share and can enjoy brand support.

Like all franchises, taking on a hotel franchise means that you know that your new business is based on a proven model. More often than not, you can also examine the trading records. You get access to training and ongoing support to ensure that you are running your hotel as best you can. Obviously all this comes at a cost, but your risks are reduced.

It is easier to get financing for a franchised hotel.

With the reduced risk, you will find that it is easier to get financing for a hotel that is franchised. They are considered to be safer and more profitable because many people actively look to stay in a branded hotel that they trust.
