The vendor opportunity at Renaissance
Renaissance runs 92 units — 71 franchised, 21 company-owned — under a 5.0% royalty and a 20-year initial term. Item 19 of the 2026 FDD makes a financial performance representation, and unit count grew 2.9% year over year, with the largest clusters in Florida (7), Texas (6), and Alabama (5).
Who controls software purchasing
Marriott's board and executive leadership run brand technology decisions: Chairman David S. Marriott, CEO and President Anthony Capuano, and Directors Isabella D. Goren, Deborah Marriott Harrison, and Frederick A. Henderson are all named in Item 2. Renaissance sits alongside sibling brands St. Regis Residences, City Express by Marriott, The Luxury Collection, Postcard Cabins, SpringHill Suites, and Tribute Portfolio.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
OpenTable (Item 8), Oracle OPERA (Item 6), and Yahoo (Item 6) are all in use — the FDD charges a fee for them or documents them operating in the field, which is not the same as a purchase mandate. Amadeus, CoStar, Sabre, STR, and TripAdvisor also appear in the filing, named without a purchase requirement attached. The FDD requires none of the systems it names.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs a specifications-only supplier model: franchisees must use FF&E, OS&E, and other goods that conform to Marriott's standards, though the franchisor may specify a single manufacturer or require purchases from designated sources for certain items. Franchisees can request approval for alternative sources.
How to read the Renaissance FDD
The FDD was filed with state franchise regulators in 2026. The embedded viewer below covers Items 2, 3, 6, 8, and 19.

Questions vendors ask
Renaissance, answered from the filing
Marriott's corporate leadership sets technology direction for Renaissance, including CEO and President Anthony Capuano and Chairman David S. Marriott, both named in Item 2. Oracle OPERA, OpenTable, and Yahoo are already in use across the brand's US properties.
The FDD requires none of the systems it names. OpenTable, Oracle OPERA, and Yahoo are in use — the franchisor charges a fee for them or documents their use in the field. Amadeus, CoStar, Sabre, STR, and TripAdvisor are named without a purchase requirement.
92 total units — 71 franchised, 21 company-owned — under the 2026 FDD, up 2.9% year over year, with the largest state clusters in Florida (7) and Texas (6).
Item 8 runs a specifications-only model: franchisees must use FF&E and other goods conforming to Marriott's standards, though the franchisor may specify a single-source model or brand for certain items. Franchisees can request approval for alternative sources.
Item 17 of the FDD governs renewal, transfer, and termination. Against a 20-year initial term and with Oracle OPERA and OpenTable already established as in-use incumbents, vendor conversations are most likely tied to Marriott's brand-wide technology contracts rather than individual property turnover.
