62 AmericInn FDD MB Q1/2026 The hardware for your Facility’s PMS can be purchased from any source so long as it meets our technology standards and minimum technical requirements. We require that you utilize tokenization technology for the transmission of credit card information to and from the PMS. We currently have one approved gateway provider to support tokenization and chip and pin technology. Accordingly, you are required to sign the Hosted Services Agreement with Elavon (Exhibit C-3), which may include additional services and fees, when you sign the MITA and the applicable PMS Schedule. In the future, we may add or discontinue gateway providers in our sole discretion.
From the filings
AmericInn
LodgingAmericInn, a Wyndham brand, runs 230 franchised hotels, all franchised, none company-owned. Software purchasing is set at the Wyndham parent level: the FDD mandates Oracle OPERA or Aven Hospitality's SynXis as the property management system, Elavon for tokenized payment processing, and the Wyndham Connect guest-engagement platform and Wyndham Gateway internet portal. RevIQ Standard revenue management is bundled into Wyndham's required technology agreement, but franchisees set their own rates and need not follow its recommendations. Franchised outlets grew 1.77% year over year.

If you choose the OPERA PMS, you must pay a one-time non-refundable Set-Up and Implementation Fee ranging from $11,000 to $22,100 plus additional amounts for interfaces that may be required, depending on which level of OPERA system you select. This fee includes remote deployment, installation, and training and must be paid at least 30 days before the Opening Date of the Facility. You will be required to subscribe to any future OPERA upgrade when it becomes available, which may include additional or different services and fees, and you may be required to execute a new OPERA Schedule to the MITA, or amend your current OPERA Schedule. (Exhibit C-2)

Property Management Systems You must procure computer hardware and a software license so that the Facility can communicate with the Central Reservation System. We have approved two property management systems (“PMS”) under our technology standard, which are provided by third parties through contracts with us: Aven Hospitality’s SynXis® system and the OPERA® system from Oracle Hospitality (“Oracle”). When choosing your PMS, you must sign the Master Information Technology Agreement (“MITA”) with us along with the applicable PMS Schedule.

We provide monthly support and services related to your PMS, which currently includes the support of SynXis Property Hub or the OPERA PMS at the level you select; HTCS; Central Rate and Inventory Support Program (“CRISP”); RevIQ Standard (an automated revenue management and rate solution); the Standard Interfaces; and database and backups and hosting fees, all as further described in the MITA (Exhibit C-2). For SynXis Property Hub, OPERA Cloud Foundation, and OPERA Cloud Standard, the Monthly Support and Service Fee ranges from $734 per month to $1,050 per month, depending on the number of rooms at your hotel, as set forth in the MITA, and may be updated from time to time. The Monthly Support and Service Fee for OPERA Cloud Premium is $13.25 per room per month, and also may be updated from time to time. Additional fees may apply if you select the premium level of RevIQ; if you choose or require additional interfaces to your PMS; and as otherwise necessary to customize the technology solutions to best suit your hotel and its operation.
10. We offer comprehensive revenue management programs for additional fees. These optional programs are available at three levels of service for varying fees: Standard RMS, Premium RMS, and Premium Plus RMS, as further described below. No matter the service level, Revenue Management Services (“RMS”) include inventory management, strategic positioning, future demand strategy and targeted promotions and packages, at different frequencies. We reserve the right to evaluate a variety of factors, including but not limited to, your Facility’s room count, occupancy rate, trends, and market to determine the most suitable level of service. See Exhibit C-7 and Item 6 for additional description of options and fees. • Standard RMS is a service that includes STR review and evaluation, rate and inventory maintenance, as well as scheduled communication two times per week and monthly meetings with your assigned revenue management professional. However, if you opt to participate and your Facility achieves greater than 70% occupancy for 12 consecutive months, then it will only be permitted to participate at the Premium RMS level (see directly below). • Premium RMS is a service that includes inventory management, as well as scheduled communication two times per week and weekly meetings with your assigned revenue management professional, and STR review and recommendations. However, if you opt to participate and your Facility achieves greater than 70% occupancy for 12 consecutive months, then it will only be permitted to participate at the Premium RMS level. • Premium Plus RMS includes Premium RMS plus daily recommendations, twice-weekly strategy discussions, and two annual property visits. 11. We will provide you with access to a customer experience software platform (currently Medallia), which will aggregate all reviews regarding the Facility from TripAdvisor and other major online travel agency sites, as well as customer surveys. We will respond to certain customer surveys and online reviews of the Facility, including complaints that are posted on third-party travel websites. You will pay us for each review to which we respond, which we will waive during all periods that your Facility maintains a positive overall guest satisfaction score. (Franchise Agreement – Schedule C)
The following table sets forth the Average RevPAR Index and Median RevPAR Index for the period January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 for Qualified Chain Facilities. 1 A “Comparable Social Review Score” means that, during 2025, a Chain Facility (i) received at least ten total reviews via Medallia, which aggregates reviews from Tripadvisor, major online travel agencies, and other online social review sites, and (ii) achieved an average score from such reviews of 3.5 or above (out of a possible maximum score of 5.0).

The vendor opportunity at AmericInn
AmericInn, part of Wyndham alongside Microtel Inns and Suites, WHR Extended Stay, Howard Johnson, Wingate Inns International, The Registry Collection Hotels and Travelodge, runs 230 franchised hotels, all franchised and none company-owned, concentrated in Minnesota (60), Iowa (35), Michigan (16), Illinois (10) and North Dakota (8).
Who controls software purchasing
Wyndham sets the technology stack at the parent level rather than leaving it to individual hotels. The FDD requires tokenization technology for transmitting credit card data to and from the property management system (PMS), network connectivity so the PMS interfaces with the central reservation system, and mandatory participation in Wyndham University training and "Count on Us" service training for every general manager. Each hotel must also participate in Wyndham's Central Reservation System on an exclusive basis.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Oracle OPERA and Aven Hospitality's SynXis Property Hub are the two approved PMS options; the filing notes that neither Wyndham, Aven nor Oracle is obligated to modify either system for a franchisee. Elavon is the mandated payment gateway — franchisees must sign a Hosted Services Agreement with Elavon for tokenized card processing — and revIQ Standard revenue management is bundled into Wyndham's required technology agreement, but franchisees set their own rates and need not follow its recommendations. Wyndham will provide, and requires franchisees to implement, its designated guest-engagement platform "Wyndham Connect" for guest texting, and requires a standardized "Wyndham Gateway" portal for guest internet access. Wyndham also provides access to Medallia as its customer experience platform, and STR is named in its optional revenue management services.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs on an approved-supplier list: Wyndham and affiliate WSSI negotiate purchasing terms and designate Approved Suppliers, who pay WSSI a volume-based commission. Required purchases from Approved Suppliers include items bearing the AmericInn marks and certain brand-ambience elements; there is only one Approved Supplier each for the credit-card gateway tied to one PMS option and for the Wyndham Gateway software and hardware. Call center services for reservations must come from the franchisor or an affiliate. The 20-year term for new construction makes technology refresh conversations infrequent but consequential.
