The leak you can't price: federal complianceNOT IN THE MATH

Untrained front desks guessing at service-animal rules is how hotels end up in court. DOJ civil penalties under ADA Title III run to $118K+ for a first violation, before attorney's fees and state statutes — and serial plaintiffs actively target hotels. PawFred keeps service animals ADA-safe and every pet and ESA documented, so no one at your front desk ever has to make that judgment call. We leave it out of the NOI math on purpose: it's not a revenue line, it's the reason you sleep at night.

Illustrative estimates from your inputs. Stays = rooms × 365 × occupancy ÷ average length of stay. Verification fee is guest-funded and split 50/50 with the property; PawFred's platform fee is $0. Incident reduction modeled at 1% of verified pet stays × $350 average remediation. Service animals are never charged fees, consistent with the ADA; verification documents status so exemptions apply only where the law requires them. Cap-rate valuation uses stabilized-NOI convention (U.S. hotels ≈ 8–9.5%, CBRE/CoStar 2025–26); recurring fee income capitalizes like any other high-margin NOI. Figures scale with occupancy, season, and your pet policy.
