Days Inn Franchise Investment Pitch Deck 2026

Strategic Timing and Local Need

Post-pandemic travelers are hunting for 'premier value' that combines low costs with modern tech like automated check-in. This unit fills the gap for budget-conscious families who want proximity to major attractions without the luxury price tag. Timing is everything in real estate.

Market Demand

• High-speed fiber demand
• Value-driven stay
• Proximity to attractions

Superior Value Solution

We offer a 'Smart-Stay' experience that uses technology to keep overhead low while providing better connectivity than local competitors. By automating the front desk, we focus labor on guest experience and room quality. Efficiency is our secret weapon.

Operational Edge

• Automated kiosks
• Fiber internet
• Modernized rooms

Target Audience and Opportunity

Our primary guests are regional road-trippers and digital nomads who need reliable internet and affordable rates. With a Year 1 revenue target of $1.8M, we are capturing a slice of the massive domestic travel market. Data-driven growth beats gut feelings every time.

Market Metrics

• $1.8M Year 1 Revenue
• 5-state radius
• Wyndham Rewards access

Revenue Streams and Margins

Revenue comes from room nights, partnership commissions, and ancillary sales, with Year 1 EBITDA projected at $334,000. Here's the quick math: a 5.5% royalty and 3.8% marketing fee are manageable because we keep breakfast costs at roughly 2.8% of sales. Watch the margins and the profits will follow.

Financial Drivers

• 5.5% Royalty Fee
• 3.8% Marketing Fee
• $334k Year 1 EBITDA

Competitive Defensibility

Local independent motels and older budget chains are our main rivals, but they lack our global loyalty program and tech stack. Our edge is the 'premier value' positioning that ensures repeat business through a global rewards network. Loyalty is the cheapest form of marketing.

Defensible Moat

• Global loyalty program
• Tech-enabled stay
• Brand recognition

Capital Requirements and Growth

We need funding for the $35,000 franchise fee and $1.2M in leasehold improvements to reach our April 2026 breakeven date. This investment defintely covers the $500,000 guest room renovation needed to meet brand standards and drive Year 2 revenue to $1.99M. Capital is the fuel for your 4-month sprint to breakeven.

Use of Funds

• $35k Franchise Fee
• $1.2M Improvements
• Apr-26 Breakeven

Finance: update unit break-even and payback model by Friday.
