The platform helps hotel owners and operators make faster, data-driven decisions and increase revenue by providing insights into performance metrics and improving operations, the duo said in a statement.

“Their leadership has shown foresight in embracing advanced analytics and price optimization,” he said. “This partnership aligns perfectly, and we’re confident it will deliver long-lasting results for Red Roof.”

Red Roof’s portfolio includes Red Roof Inn, Red Roof PLUS+, HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof, The Red Collection, and dual-branded properties, with more than 60,000 rooms across more than 700 properties in the U.S. and Japan.

In March, Red Roof added more than 30 women to its ownership community through Road to Inclusivity and Diversity in Entrepreneurship, connecting aspiring owners with lenders, and SHE, which supports women in hospitality with resources and best practices.
