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
Days Inn
LodgingDays Inn franchises 1,201 hotels under Wyndham, all running a franchisor-mandated technology stack: a property management system on Oracle OPERA or Aven Hospitality's SynXis, Elavon's payment gateway, RevIQ, and the Wyndham Connect guest-engagement platform. Franchised outlets fell 2.8% year over year. For vendors, that corporate-set stack is where a pitch has to start.

RevPAR Index measures a hotel’s RevPAR performance relative to an aggregated grouping of facilities (e.g., competitive set, market, or chain scale). The average and median RevPAR index information presented in this Item 19 reflects RevPAR information obtained from monthly data provided by Smith Travel Research, Inc., an independent research firm that provides information to the hotel industry. We have not audited or independently verified the information provided by Smith Travel Research. The average and median RevPAR Index information that follows is based on competitive set data. A competitive set is a peer group of hotels that competes for business and is selected by each hotel to benchmark the subject property's performance. An index of 100 represents that a hotel is capturing its “fair share” compared to the hotel’s competitive set. An index greater than 100 represents that a hotel is capturing more than its “fair share” compared to the hotel’s competitive set; an index less than 100 represents that a hotel is capturing less than its “fair share” compared to the hotel’s competitive set. 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 3.0 or above (out of a possible maximum score of 5.0). 88 Days Inn FDD MB Q1/2026 The following table sets forth the Average RevPAR Index and Median RevPAR Index based on competitive set data for the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 for Qualified Chain Facilities. 2025 Competitive Set RevPAR Index

The vendor opportunity at Days Inn
Days Inn franchises 1,201 hotels nationwide, concentrated in Texas (152), California (87), North Carolina (55), Virginia (50) and Florida (44). Franchised outlets fell 2.8% year over year. Item 19 of the FDD makes a financial performance representation. Twenty-nine of the system's 1,219 mapped operators run multiple hotels, but the technology stack is set identically across all of them.
Who controls software purchasing
Days Inn sits under Wyndham, alongside sibling brands AmericInn, Microtel Inns and Suites, WHR Extended Stay, Howard Johnson, Wingate Inns International and The Registry Collection Hotels. President and CEO Geoff Ballotti, EVP and General Counsel Paul F. Cash, Chief Accounting Officer Nicola Rossi, EVP and CFO Amit Sripathi, and EVP of North America Franchise Operations Shilpan Patel run the corporate side. Because the property-management and guest-technology stack is mandated system-wide, corporate is the buying center a vendor needs to reach.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Days Inn mandates tokenization technology for transmitting credit card data to and from its property-management system, which runs on Aven Hospitality's SynXis or Oracle's OPERA. Franchisees must sign a Hosted Services Agreement with Elavon, the sole approved gateway provider for tokenization and chip-and-pin technology, and must implement RevIQ and the Wyndham Connect guest-engagement platform, which lets a hotel text guests and handle other interactions. Days Inn also requires a standardized Wyndham Gateway portal for guest internet, exclusive participation in its Central Reservation System, and use of the Wyndham call center for phone reservations. Medallia is in use for guest feedback.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Wyndham and its affiliate WSSI negotiate purchasing terms and designate Approved Suppliers; the only items franchisees must buy from an Approved Supplier are Marks-bearing items like signage and photographs, brand-ambience elements such as music and scent, health and safety services, any market feasibility study firm, and certain technology systems: guest wireless internet, credit card acquiring services, the Wyndham Gateway software and hardware, and the PMS. Franchisees must also use Wyndham's call center to book phone reservations.
