Hey everyone, good post. I know that you can take my numbers and do all kinds of things. I did not see that they would set the koisk up for free. I was just using what I had said with Pat. He was really not concerned. Also remember these numbers assumed only 4750 properties. This leaves thousands of these hotels without a koisk. The press release said we had agreements with groups that represented 11,000 hotels read below.
The first test site will be the Days Inn located near the Atlanta, Georgia Hartsfield International Airport. Days Inn is part of the Cendant organization (NYSE: CD - news) and has over 1,800 properties under the Days Inn banner and a total of over 5,800 hotels worldwide. The second test site will be the Quality Inn of Columbia, South Carolina. Quality Inn is part of the Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH - news) representing over 4,000 properties. The third test site is with Travelodge, Macon, Georgia. Travel Lodge is also part of the Cendant organization and has over 450 properties under the Travelodge marquee. The fourth test site is with Shoney's Inn, part of the Sho Lodge, Franchise Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: LODG - news) A hotel chain of around 100 properties. These individual hotels are part of larger organizations representing over 11,000 total properties combined. Sprintcar, thanks for your positive input. With days like today I am thrilled you are here. You are correct that larger chains already have these. Hilton in San Diego had six when I stayed there last summer. Zeev, you are correct. Predicting revenue is what you can kind of do, profit is much different. I think the profit margins will be higher because there is not much you need to do with this thing, absent tee ownership. I just flew last week out of D/FW airport. I saw a GTE koisk. Cost 3.75 for fifteen minutes. This was the minimum and that comes out to .25 cents per minute. I have to get to work. I cannot wait to see what else we can come up with. I am anxious to see what the press release is next week. Keep up the good post and I will see you later.
