What Is Included

All core chapters included

Six Questions Your Hawthorn Suites Franchise Business Plan Must Answer

We developed this strategic business plan for hospitality franchise startups in Microsoft Word using our own independent research into the extended stay hotel market. All six chapters are pre-populated with data specific to opening and operating this type of hotel franchise, including financial projections showing a 5-year payback period and a breakeven date just 3 months after opening. The entire document is fully editable, allowing you to adapt the plan to your specific commercial real estate hotel development project.

Q1. What is the core business opportunity?

The core opportunity is to develop and operate a new-build, midscale extended-stay hotel franchise in North Austin's booming tech corridor, strategically positioned to capture high-demand corporate and relocation business driven by major employers like the new Apple campus.

Key Opportunity Drivers

  • Strategic location in a high-growth tech corridor with strong corporate demand.
  • Leveraging the brand recognition and global reservation system of a major hotel group.
  • Targeting underserved long-term project consultants and corporate relocators.
[dynamic_pic9]

Q2. What does the hotel franchise sell?

The hotel sells residential-style 'work-from-anywhere' accommodations for long-term stays, featuring suites with full kitchens and ergonomic workspaces. The model is designed to generate revenue from a mix of standard and premium suite rentals, corporate contracts, and ancillary guest services.

Core Offerings

  • Standard Suite Rentals, projected at $2,400,000 in the first year.
  • Premium Suite Rentals, adding another $450,000 in year one.
  • Corporate Contract Stays, forecasted to generate $500,000 in 2026.
[dynamic_pic10]

Q3. Who are the target customers?

The primary customers are corporate travelers who require housing for weeks or months at a time. This includes corporate relocators, long-term project consultants, and tech professionals working with companies in the immediate area, all of whom need more than a standard hotel room.

Primary Customer Segments

  • Corporate relocators needing temporary housing during their transition.
  • Long-term project consultants and tech professionals on assignment.
  • Corporate travel planners seeking reliable midscale hospitality solutions.
[dynamic_pic11]

Q4. How will the unit acquire customers?

Customer acquisition will be driven by a three-pronged approach: direct corporate sales outreach to local tech companies, hyper-local digital marketing and SEO, and leveraging the franchisor's powerful central reservation system (CRS) and online travel agency (OTA) partnerships.

Customer Acquisition Channels

  • Direct B2B sales to corporate travel planners and HR managers.
  • Hyper-local SEO and professional networking via LinkedIn.
  • The franchisor's global reservation system and brand marketing.
[dynamic_pic12]

Q5. Who will run the business?

The hotel will be run by an experienced on-site management team, led by a General Manager with an annual salary of $130,000. This team will also include an Assistant General Manager, a Housekeeping Supervisor, and other key staff to manage daily operations and ensure consistent execution of brand standards.

Key Management Roles

  • General Manager to oversee all hotel operations and financials.
  • Assistant General Manager to support daily management and guest services.
  • Sales Manager to drive corporate contracts and local B2B relationships.
[dynamic_pic13]

Q6. What are the key financial metrics?

The financial plan is built around a significant initial investment, including $3,500,000 for leasehold improvements and a total of over $6.7 million in capital expenditures. The model projects strong performance, with first-year revenue over $5.1 million, a rapid 3-month path to breakeven, and a full payback of the initial investment within 5 years. This is defintely a capital-intensive but potentially rewarding hotel development feasibility study.

Financial Highlights

  • Year 1 Revenue: $5,175,000
  • Year 1 EBITDA: $2,209,000
  • Years to Payback: 5

Magical TV Backlight With Amazingly Accurate and Vivid Colors
Size: 7.8FT for 40''-50'' TV, Size: 7.8FT for 40''-50'' TV
I had very high expectations for this Govee 3 Lite backlight and it surpassed all of them by a mile. This Govee 3 Lite with proper set up, calibration and correct settings looks absolutely magnificent with beautiful and accurate colors that it adds so much to my TV viewing experience. Most of the "bad" reviews on here is USER ERROR because the person can't bother to do even the most basic research therefore he/she doesn't know how to set it up, calibrate and adjust settings correctly. So here are some tips and settings that may help others: For accurate colors it's vital to set your white light accurately first since all other colors blend off of white. Also, ALL of your TV SETTINGS like BRIGHTNESS, COLOR TEMPERATURE, PICTURE MODE, COLOR, CONTRAST, etc. has an impact on the LED strip brightness, vividness, accuracy and density as well. So play around and pause a scene on your TV that's really colorful and then turn your individual TV settings all the way up and all the way down to see how it affects your Govee lights. Now I have an LG OLED and OLED's have perfect black levels and near perfect colors out of the box, so you may not get the exact results I did. But it doesn't hurt to give it a try and see if it helps your Govee set up if you are not satisfied with your colors. 1. Put the camera dead center of your TV and at 90 degrees (or as close as you can). 2. Install the light strip as close as you possibly can to the edge of your TV. I've seen youtube videos where people install them 2" to 3" inward from the edge (I get it if you have no choice because your back panel has a weird shape or is not completely flat along the edges) and that gives such a tiny light spread on the wall and also leads to dead spots in the corners because the light is set too far away and that causes the TV's corners to cast a shadow on the wall leaving a dead spot. 3. When you calibrate with the orange squares make sure the gray box ends up looking either like a rectangle or a bow tie. I added pictures of my actual calibrations of both shapes to my review to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. If your TV is wall mounted or on a TV stand where there's nothing underneath the camera that may interfere with it, I'd probably go with a rectangle shape which is the ideal shape according to Govee. But after playing around with the calibration I discovered that for my set up a bow tie shape gives me the most accurate and uniform colors because I have a semi-glossy TV stand and it helps to prevent the camera from seeing past the bottom edge of my TV and catching whatever colors that are reflecting back up off my TV stand so it doesn't interfere with the actual colors coming from my screen. 4. When you adjust the "color calibration, saturation, white balance, etc." in the app do it in a dark room. 4a. "Saturation" setting needs to be dropped way down to give you accurate colors. I keep mine between 1%-5%. If you're one of many people that's having problems with your white light looking green, dropping the saturation down a lot should fix that problem and give you a nice white light that will go a long way in giving you accurate colors across the board. 5. "White balance" default is 50% but it looks a little too blue on my LG OLED so I keep my white balance a little more on the red side at 70%-75% and I get a nice slightly warmer white that works wonders in getting accurate colors all around. Google "pure white" background and use that to adjust your white balance and saturation. 6. "Relative Brightness" default is 50%. I set mine all the way up to 100% on all four sides and then I control the brightness level with the main brightness slider which when it's a bright room I set it to 100% and when it's a dark room I set it to 47% because that's the percentage I found that when the screen or parts of the screen goes dark so do the corresponding lights which only adds to the immersive viewing experience. 7. If you want your lights to show all the different colors as you watch TV you need to choose "part" in the app. If you choose "whole" you will get only solid colors on all four sides. 8. You can choose either "movie" or "game" but personally I leave mine to "movie" 90% of the time even if I'm gaming. The difference between them is with "game" the colors switch a little faster but that leads to a lot more flickering which can be very distracting. With "movie" it's a softer and smoother transition. 9. I love that I can connect my Govee kit to my Alexa app by adding it in the "skills" section which allows me to control the backlight with voice commands for things like turning the LED strip on and off or the brightness up or down or setting a timer/routine to turn the LED strip on or off at a certain time of day I set. Thankfully I had a few weeks to do a lot of research and also check out youtube videos before Prime Day when I was able to purchase this kit for $46 for the 40"-50" size. And it was in doing this research that made my set up super easy with no problems at all when my kit arrived. All told it took me about two hours from start to finish to install and set up my backlight settings to get it perfect for my LG OLED TV. It took me longer than most people since I went all OCD when figuring out the exact placement, spacing, height and measurements of the lights to get the best possible light spread on my wall and it was all worth it since my LED's look fantastic because I have a full and wide light spread and the colors are so evenly dense with no dead spots in the corners like I've seen on so many other set ups. I was worried that the whole calibration thing would be a PITA since a lot of reviewers seem to struggle mightily with getting it right. For me, it was super simple because through my research I learned what not to do and avoided all the pitfalls that plague others. The proof is in the pudding. I've added screenshots of the settings I use and a sample video with those settings and my lights are mesmerizing and gorgeous. Check it out!

Probably the best available for the money
Size: 11.8FT for 55''-65'' TV, Size: 11.8FT for 55''-65'' TV
I love these lights. High-quality dynamic backlighting for your TV. With the calibration and settings dialed correctly, it moves and breathes smoothly with the picture as you use the screen. With this installed it really amps up the cozy and artsy vibes of the screen, adding further immersion. It's also easier on your eyes in a dark room to add backlighting. You can set the brightness level to the level you want, and you can fully control the colors and tone, whether you want to set it to something static, add a colored border, or use the dynamic lighting (which is what I'm currently using). These lights were made for 55 inch to 65 inch TVs. There are four strips rolled up, two for the short side and two for the long side. No matter which corner you start from, you will be able to set it up properly during calibration. The strips stuck well so far but were not so firm that I couldn't pull up one strip to reapply it. The TV I have here in the pictures is the Sony Bravia ii OLED 4K panel (~$2000 screen, excellent picture quality for the price point). I am using a Rocketfish omnidirectional wall mount behind it. TIPS I followed some other reviews here for the calibration. It was recommended to set the TV brightness to max for calibration, then adjust both TV and backlight brightness after setup. The physical setup only required me to have a TV pulled forward from the wall a foot or so, plus a 3-step ladder so I could easily reach the top of the TV. You could absolutely install this on a TV sitting a bit forward on a stand as well. App setup was a breeze once the lights and camera were attached properly. I will sort out my cable management eventually, once I have a TV shelf installed below my panel which is my next goal for this room. The kit comes with some additional adhesive to secure the lights that I didn't end up using, as the adhesive on the back of the light strips was sufficient for now. I'm saving the extra parts just in case. Overall I highly recommend it! The dynamic lighting adds so much immersion without being loud or flashy unless you want it to be. Kinda just blends into the background and subtly amps up the quality of your whole experience. Like the color on the picture just blends seamlessly into the wall and the room.

An effective TV watching enhancement
Size: 7.8FT for 40''-50'' TV
The Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite transformed my TV-watching experience. Installation was quick, the adhesive holds well, and the calibration process is a little tricky and will take time to get right, from mapping out the TV size to setting the light quality up within the app. But the light quality is good and works best in rooms which are very dark with no external light sources to influence the color the camera picks up. The ambient lighting makes movies and gaming feel more immersive without being distracting. The app controls are intuitive, and the customization options let you fine‑tune everything from brightness to color modes. If you want an easy, affordable way to elevate your TV experience, this backlight delivers as promised.
