Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaa.

Don't think it'd work. It's too long. I can't imagine ever saying to my friends, or parents, or whoever "See you later, I'm going to Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaa"

I think simplicity is the way to go... and if you're going to be targeting the low-priced internet cafe market, then I stand by my "Cheap Internet Cafe" name as being the one which really sends out a signal to anyone who needs... well, cheap internet access. Whether or not you really are cheap or not is another matter.

What kind of internet connection are you going to get for this cafe?

Here is if you want unlimited broadband, yes the TRULY UNLIMITED adsl 1500/256. Although you need to apply for an ABN/ACN before applying for the special business plans.

EDIT: hmm i found some dodo "unlimited" dsl plans but eh the company sounds dodgy because it says "Excess Data: Charged $0.18/MB"

any way have you even looked at the demographics of you area? have you worked out the costs of buying full xp licences for 30+ comps? have you worked out price of 30+ comps? rent? games licence? its not cheap you need atleast 30k+ to even start...unless its a backyard job

we're doing that at the moment, we're just trying to get our heads around everything first. we're not stupid, we know that establishing a business of this type isn't going to be cheap, trust me. we're doing our homework.

thanks, antihyper. very useful info. =)

"fat-net"

it's a place where people can get fat and use the internet.
or it's a place with lots of computers accessing a high-speed internet connection. the 'fat' part being the high-speed bit.

I think all BOS members should get a discount to this soon-to-be internet cafe

you'll be looking at few years before you even start to earn to cover your startup cost if it is even successful, but hopefully you already know this.

If people always feared such things, we wouldn't have Yahoo, Microsoft or other empires. They are all started by inexperienced people with not much money. They soon become billionaires though.

I think it was just a friendly caveat so not to expect any big profits anytime soon- especially in a saturated market. But hey, where there's risk, there's reward.

Make sure you do a bit of demand forecasting; don't just pick 30 computers because it sounds like a nice number. Base it on how many people you think would actually be using your services at any one time.

Also will you be having any additional revenue streams or just the internet/gaming? Remember you're already paying for your ABN and rent/electricity- what other services can you provide with what you've already got to generate a bit more revenue? Also bearing in mind you have a little mini monopoly going on- once people are inside, they probably won't want to have to walk a lot just to buy a Coke or something. Could even sell computers/do repairs if you're good at that sort of thing.

Btw are you going to be programming the net cafe interface yourself, buying a "out of the box net cafe solution", or just leaving your PC's the way they are and ghosting them on a regular basis?

lol, and let me guess, Bill Gates will arrive at their internet cafe`, offer to buy it from them.. They'll agree, and then Gates will smash up the place with a baseball bat?

of course, but you'd have to prove to me that you're BoS user. =)

thanks for the tips, seremify.. we'd probably do some repairs and sell some minor parts for computers, and eventually work our way into bigger parts. like, to start off with it would be mice, perhaps some cords, keyboards, and eventually we'd work our way up. repairs would be a must.. we've also considered holding lessons for people who want to learn how to use programs like Word, as well as anything else... other ideas include gaming nights for the nerds of the town, where the night is just devoted to one game...
