ACME Vendor 3-Strike Policy
ACME Vendor 3-Strike Policy: At ACME, we partner with vendors who share our commitment to delivering 5-star experiences for our guests and owners. To ensure consistency and accountability, we track performance using a 3-Strike Policy. This policy applies to all vendors providing services on behalf of ACME.
Purpose
-
Maintain high-quality service standards.
-
Keep properties safe, clean, and guest-ready.

Ensure all partners are accountable to consistent expectations.
How Strikes Work
A “strike” is issued when a vendor fails to meet ACME’s service, safety, or communication standards.
Strike Types:
-
Standard Strikes: Recurring quality issues or missed expectations.
-
Major Strikes: Serious issues that put guests, properties, or ACME’s reputation at risk.
Consequences:
-
1–2 Strikes: You’ll be notified and asked to take corrective action immediately.
-
3 Strikes (any mix): Removal from servicing the effected property. Access will be revoked.
-
3 Major Strikes: Termination of your contract.
-
Immediate Termination: Single violation posing serious safety or reputational risk.
