PARSIPPANY, N.J. (June 23, 2004) � Knights Franchise Systems today
introduced an incentive program to encourage development by first-time
franchisees and current Knights Inn owners.
The program offers a $20.80 per room, fixed, flat monthly charge that includes royalty and marketing fees.

The contract sets a fixed $1 fee for each voice booking made through the Cendant central reservations system. �The new program is easy, practical and in tune with the economy segment�s needs,� said Rajiv Bhatia, Knights Inn president. �This offer is attractive because there are no surprises: developers know what their fees will be each month.
