This involves being provided with a property openings manager who gives guidance and advice about exterior signage, the management system that needs to be in place, the standard of the brand etc. Operational support follows. This includes training and orientation for new leaders. The Wyndham Group’s School of Hospitality Operations deals with training new franchisees.

The support that the new franchisee gets ensures that the customer gets the same winning service no matter what Days Inn they are in.
