In order to fulfill this mission, AAHOA created the Fair Points of Franchising Ad Hoc Committee, which was tasked with recommending revisions to the 12 Points of Fair Franchising, and I’m pleased to announce today, that with the help, support, and input of the AAHOA Board of Directors, we’re releasing the revised 12 Points of Fair Franchising, now available at AAHOA.com/12Points.
About the Revised 12 Points of Fair Franchising
Newly updated, AAHOA’s revised 12 Points continues our mission and commitment to educating AAHOA Members, fulfilling our vision to be the foremost advocate and resource for America’s hotel owners. Ultimately, the updated 12 Points reflect the current business landscape and the long-term, mutually beneficial relationship between industry Franchisors and Franchisees.
These updated 12 Points serve as an educational primer for hospitality Franchisors and AAHOA Members (current and future hospitality Franchisees) to discuss and use to continue designing, developing, and implementing best-in-class, mutually beneficial franchise systems.
In addition, the revised 12 Points can be used by Franchisors to better understand the needs of their industry partners and Franchisees.
I recommend every AAHOA Member-Franchisee review the full 12 Points in their entirety to make themselves familiar with the content and best practices for fruitful Franchisee-Franchisor relationships and to better understand the provisions in franchise agreements.
