You may come across an internet cafe by many names: as a Cybercafe, Web cafe, PC cafe, or a Net cafe. They all have one thing in common — they offer an internet connection from their computers to their customers.
The typical internet cafe normally starts with the entrepreneur who wants to start a business. He asks how much a PC costs. He then sets up a budget for 5, 10, 15, 20 PCs, depending on location that he could find. Then he starts computing so that, say, if he rents it out for 20 pesos per hour, and if it averages 8 hours of usage per PC, then he would get a certain gross amount for the entire month. Less all the expenses, then this is what he’ll earn. So this is the normal thinking of a startup i-cafe.

Hello everyone!
I am planning to open up an internet shop and i am looking for someone who can give me the best package he can offer. I plan to start out with 20 computers initially. I already have a feasible location, and just like the good fellow Hubert says, it will be me, myself and I, who will be the manager-owner, accountant and the crew!
I will be needing a package for 20 computers and everything that goes with it (how big the place should be, how many airconditioning units, what kind of computers, games, etc.) to make sure the business is going smoothly and of course productively. I dont plan to be the cheapest but i want to give the best deal to my customers!
Please help! Thanks LEO, good site, more power and God bless!
@Clandestine64, it’s better to implement the business plan, any business in fact, yourself. this is to avoid finger-pointing later on. it’s your business, and you should be involved from planning stage to implementation stage to operation stage all the way. you can’t do this using proxies, it won’t work, it should be you 100% hands-on especially with this kind of business.
Hmmm, seems like i did not make my intentions very clear. I was hoping to find someone who can give me a certain package which will provide me all the necessary requirements in putting up an internet cafe, like computers, fax machine, furnitures and equipments, etc. In short, sa kanya ko bibilhin lahat ng kekelalanganin ko sa internet cafe. Dito pa kasi ako currently sa ibang bansa so balak ko sana pagdating ko dyan, meron nako makukunan ng lahat ng gamit sa net shop ko. I will be the one who will manage the shop. So naghahanap sana ako ng highest bidder for this venture…
Dear Clandestine64,
Thats good! I am sure you do have already a strategic plan for the business venture you are targeting.Basically, setting up an internet shop will require few staffs, shifting scheds can be done to cover those overnight users.You may hear/read lot of comments/tips on this forums will will greatly help you more.e.g.gimmicks,packages,best offers.
And most importantly if you are thinking of hiring a personnel to support you..pls..make sure he is really good enough for a trust.(financial issues may come up)
With the requirements you have for your business I can assist you with that, I am in a trading business where I can offer you, hopefully the best package on all the items. We can also assist you in constructing the interiors on your shop. Installation of electrical/aircon/singages/network set-up.
Where are you planning to put up the business?May I have your contact numbers?Im based in Ortigas.
Hi Chris!
So nice to read from you. Actually I have lots of plans (A, B, C, etc) to make sure the goal will be realized as expected. Around makati area kami but i want to relocate somewhere nearby for the shop… another option is somewhere in Lagro, Quezon City not because these locations are strategic for this venture but because of other non-business considerations. It will be more convinient for me if we communicate through messenger, you can find me at arquero64@yahoo.com. Maraming salamat.
hi. i own an internet shop and its been operating for 5 years now. In this line of business what you need is a good location, efficient and honest staff and a good and dependable computer technician who would ensure the maintenance of your pc’s…i can also provide you netshop packages so you need not work about the hassles of putting up a net shop…well turn it over to you ready for operation. message me thru email or contact me at (02)5001639
