I Want To Improve In My Cyber-cafe Business

i have a minibook on that
would u love to have it

Moved to business section

naijacutee   - Sorry to cut u off Do u have a Cybercafe?

                           

I don't think naijacutee needs to own a cafe to give sound advice about cyber cafes. Follow her advice and you'll be on your way to improving your cafe. Good luck.

yes my brother is not even only ur own a lot of people need to improve their cyber cafe

Very easy to improve ur cybercafe,

Just increase your bandwith as in  speed and see wether people no go dey line up for ur cybercafe to browse

That's just the simple secret! even at 150 naira per hour  people will still be trooping in!

To be frannk poster, Cyber Cafe is not an easy business to run at all,  you have to be very very care, Meanwhile you need to look for a good engineer that can be able to notify you anytime the bandwith is low, u didnt tell us the ISP u r using, there are some fake ISP's everywhere, i believe u must have made some enquiries about other successful and nonsuccessful cyber cafes around, before you decided the ISO u want to use, so? u need to ask other cybers using the same ISP with  u if they are encounterin the props u r encouterin

Like i said earlier, a cyber cafe is not an izy busines, you must b a strong and smart type, i wish u luck and success,

good night

this is 2007, cyber-cafe brother plz,  instead of investing in local ISP services for homes that can provide month do' for u

The success of a cyber cafe depends on the reception and location.

There are only three functional cyber cafes on Bonny Island, charging from N150 - N200 per hour. But the patronage is low, because of low level of literacy in the community.
Most of the inhabitants are intellectual illiterates who are more concerned about their economic interests and social status symbols and the TV set means more to them than a PC. And even though most of them can use GSM mobile phones, they cannot use the mouse and are still seeing the PC as the modern typewriter.

The secondary school pupils on Bonny Island have the IQ of nursery 3 pupils in Corona schools in Ikoyi, Lagos.
I have seen pupils as old as 17 years in junior secondary school class 1 on Bonny Island and when I saw their public schools, I broke down in agony. Because, even a ranch in the US looked better than these schools.

The three cyber cafes on Bonny Island are well maintained, and there is regular power supply on Bonny Island. In fact, one of the two towns on Bonny Island, Finima, has free power supply from the Nigeria LNG Bonny Plant Complex. But the owners have to wait for more of the people to become enlightened. And since they can be online on their mobile phones, they will soon need cyber cafes as they need roadside GSM booths.

Most cyber cafes in Lagos are crowdy and rowdy, because of the high level of literacy and regular patronage among adults and minors in the mega city. Most of the cyber cafes charge between N100 and N150 per hour. The best cyber cafe is 96.9 Cool FM's Cool Link cyber cafe on Etim Inyang Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. Cool Link charges N250 per hour.

But, irregular power supply and power outages make cyber cafes in Lagos to charge more, because they have to rely on power generators.

The two examples of Bonny Island and Lagos have addressed the question of the best location.  
Locate the cyber cafe where people need it.
Supply on demand and not based on probabilities.

Now what is a cyber cafe in terms of the service?

Visit the British Council nearest you to see how the cyber cafe is managed.

A cyber cafe must be clean and the toilets must be very clean with regular water supply.
I stopped going to a particular cyber cafe after seeing the terrible state of the toilet.
Clean toilets are best.

The managers must be honest and should not cheat their customers as many managers do in Lagos.

Of course, you must have good PCs and fast ISP.

Cyber Cafes can be good meeting places for chat rooms and friends to relax and escape from the over-crowded apartments in tenements in most congested towns and cities in Lagos and other states in Nigeria. Making the cyber cafes comfortable will attract regular patronage.

Have a corner for customers to sit and relax with novels and magazines to read.
Like Hip-Hop and MTV magazines for the guys and True Love and Hints magazines for the babes. What they read in the print publications can push them to spend more time surfing to read more online.
But NO TV sets.

I wish you all the best.

Hello All thanks for your advice to our brother on here regarding his cyber cafe business, i been into cyber Cafe business for years and i manage and set it up for clients, all i would want you to put in consideration is :

1) Location: are you located in an area where its convenient enough for customers?
                   You must make it condusive and attractive

2) Connection: Is your speed fast enough that with just a click a page uploads?
                    get a good ISP to serve you better

3) Technical dept: Do you have a good engineer that is always consistent and takes your equipments as his own?
                    have a standard engineer and he has got to be available 24-7 no matter if he has no job to do

4) Management: Do you have a manager that knows much about a cyber cafe?
                    Its a must you have a stable and knowledgeable cafe manager that would solve problems without you being there or present

5) Security:   Do you consider the police posts/stations around your location?
                   You must be friendly and always settle any station Dpo close to you to avoid cafe embarrassment to your customers

Well i would stop here if you need my assistance i am willing to help you anytime, tell me your location and when u want me to come i get your problem sorted out for you then you going to smile always don't worry God is ever there for we all

Advertise, get people to patronize your cafe.
Give weekly discounts and also diversify your business into other areas, apart from internet surfing.
It might be -that the location is all wrong.
