14、in the management with your investors. That capital to infuse lifeblood into your CyberCafe comes with strings attached.

15、The internet caf is one of the establishments made indispensable in an increasingly interconnected world. Sometimes it leads one to wonder though: with the proliferation of wireless devices, notebook computers, mobile email, smart phones, portable digital assistants and other gadgets, what need is t
16、here for in internet caf in a wireless world?Enter an internet caf and usually the first thing one notice that more than half of the clientele are playing online or network games. There are more things to do in an internet caf though, than surfing the net, playing online games and checking email. An
17、 internet caf may also offer other services to its clients.The most common service offered is typing or encoding. This usually appeals to customers who are too lazy to type, or who have little no access to a computer. This service also appeals to busy people who dont have time to type and edit their
18、 material. These customers would simply leave their work to be typed and pick it up after it is completed.An internet caf can also provide specialized or sophisticated software to be available for use by its customers. These software may be kind that the hard to find, or expensive, or utilizes a lar
19、ge amount of memory. An example would be the high end design software that can go for a few thousand dollars per legal copy. The most common users of high end software in internet cafes are students who need access to the latest software for their schoolwork but cant afford to buy them.Another servi
20、ce that an internet caf can offer is photo editing. The client might have a picture that can be scanned or digitally edited, fixed up, or restored. While photo editing can be done at home, it takes time to do the more difficult or complicated jobs, and people would rather pay somebody to do the job
21、properly rather that bungle it themselves. Video editing is also another service that can be offered by the internet caf, in much the same way as photo editing. Internet cafs can also offer simple programming solutions. They can offer programs for the home offices or small business, like basic datab
22、ases or inventory software. Alternatively, these clients can have their software fixed or updated by the techs in the caf. The internet caf may also offer program installation or software repair to pc or notebook owners.The internet caf may also offer workshops or lessons. These lessons may range fr
23、om simple familiarization with the computer to more difficult subjects. One-on-one tutorials by the caf staff may also be provided to clients who require the service.The internet caf can also offer to rent out equipment such as LCD projectors and video editing tools to events like weddings or presen
24、tations.Some internet cafs have amenities that make them more like meeting places or boardrooms, where they offer videoconferencing, group discussion tables, and other facilities for meetings and group work.Getting A Good LocationThere are three important concepts in marketing: location, location an
25、d location. Location can be a boon or a bane. An Internet caf business must be located in a place easily accessible to prospective customers. Prospective customers are basically everybodystudents doing their projects or research, gamers whore dying to have the most superior scores, people whose rela
26、tives or loved ones are at abroad and find it very convenient communicating with them through chat and email and lets not forget those who have sugar-daddies offshore.The first prospective location to look out for is where youre currently residing. Look around your areado you think its feasible to b
27、uild one in your neighborhood? Do you think that people in your area have habitual routines of going to an Internet caf but its just too far? Do you think there are gamers and would-be gamers? Do you think that majority of people in your neighborhood would get a kick out of your Internet shop?If you
28、r answer to all of these is yes, then go build your Internet Caf shopeither right on your garage or right beside your house. Otherwise you just have to go out and hunt for a prospective location and prepare extra bucks for the rental fees. Most of these locations should be highly-strategical and ver
29、y much accessible by a lot of people. In other words,they have to be heavy in “foot-traffic”. Examples are near schools and malls.Mall rates and conditions varies depending on the mall itself. It is better if you go directly to the malls general manager and inquire. Have your own letter of intent re
30、ady. Usually they are contract-basis and always renewable.Site Planning and ConstructionAt first Ive got no idea how I want my internet cafe shop to look like. To solve this case, I went on spying to other internet shops around to gather ideas. Most of them have all glass doors out front either slid
31、ing or push/pull mechanism. With regards to tables, some have their tables constructed in an extended-style while some are individually constructed. Even the lazier internet cafe owners just bought themselves read-made ones which I think are more expensive. If I were you, Ill go for the first option
32、 which is have them constructed manually. I opted for individual tables instead of the elongated style. My reason? To modify space easily and the ease of moving them around. I had them for just 800 pesos each.A typical table is like 4-5 feet high. To check this, simply sit on a char and estimate the
33、 measurement using a ruler. Tell your carpenter or whoever is making your tables to put a simple horizontal foot-rest at the bottom. Then make sure that the keyboard and mouse would rightly fit on the flat where the future customer would lay his/her hands on to surf the cyberspace. I also recommend
34、that you put the CPU on top of the table instead of right beside the monitor. Reason? So that the eyes of the customer wont divert towards the CPU and wont do anything stupid in it. Theyll just simply concentrate on the monitor,keyboard and mouse.As with chairs, its up to you if you want to start ou
35、t first with monoblock chairs(I did) or you could go straight with comfortable but pricey ones.There should be a seperate table for the cashier. Either you have it manually constructed or just buy a ready-made. As for me,I was already lazy for it so I just opted for a ready-made. It has drawers with
36、 locks where Ill put the money and some important files. A computer should also be placed here because thats where you or your employee sits to manage the billing and also a printer and a scanner should also be placed right on that table. The modem and the router/switch hub should also be near this
37、table. If they no longer fit on the table, you can just improvise by placing a small piece of plywood punched against the wall beside your table and then place your modem and router/switch hub. When a technician from your preferred Internet Service Provider(ISP) arrives and asks you where to put the
38、 modem,tell him to place it right near your table.Your floor should be covered with thick vinyl tilesnot the roll-up one that easily gets teared. Thick vinyl tiles are not just durable. you could also mop it easily and sweep it with ease.A good electrical wiring is essential. A good electrical bill
39、relies on how good the wiring was set up by your chosen electrician. Plan on how many electrical outlets to put around your shop and then make sure that they are near to where your computers will be placed.Its up to you if you want to have an airconditioner in the first place. As with me, I never ha
40、d one in my shop when I started out. I know that based from the experiences of others, airconditioners eat up most of the energy and its responsible of how high the electric bill is. So instead, I just had a big exhaust fan installed and some wall electricfans as well. Make sure that the switches of
41、 this appliances such as the fans should not be accessible to the customers or else,it might give them the right to turn them on and off.For the front, you should have a good signage. You should give bypassers that you are an internet cafe and how cozy it is inside. Have a panaflex with your interne
42、t cafes name printed on it. Posters can help toofor example,posters of online games and computer related images. You should also post the list of services you offer inside.Make sure that you really lure them.You are projecting a lasting impression here.CompleteWifiHotspotandIPInternetBillingSolution
