Crafteck, please would you recommend a hacked console over an unhacked one for a game house?

Will surely make my money back in the said time frame, made like 1k in 40 mins at about half load when I strolled here yesterday since my worker didn't open as per Sunday, still need to get curtains, fan and ac. Lemme wait a month or 2 before declaring success.
Chief,how do you manage your workers and ensure they don't steal from the money made since you can't know the number of customers and number of games that's been played. Is there a way you know the number of people that are playing games?

Very good job there bro. But ever considered installing CCTV? Do you think it might help curtail theft?

Re: Setting Up A Game House within 72 hours by crafteck(m): 6:43am On Dec 12, 2019
Thanks everyone for the support, here are salient points that brought me to that decision.
.Cost of shop agreement and commission was roughly 300, other money spent are equipments which I can remove.im guessing my net income in the course of this shop has been like 700,+/- 100k.so I've made my money back grin
.sales was poor due to 2 factors - the untrustworthy boy I put since I had no much time and the new thing I leant-crowd area doesn't translate to good patronage... Good patronage doesn't translate to good income.. The item I didn't take seriously was (average purchasing power of people in the area) they would rather stick to ps2 rather than ps3 or Ps4. Not because they didn't know it was better but they couldn't afford it.
. An advantage I got was the filling station generator that I got for free, it saved me 1k5 to 2k a day plus not having to spend like 400k on generator, thats how much it costs to run gen, mind you, I have yet another game house that averages 20k daily on 2k fuel. The management had disagreement with nepa over crazy bill and haven't used nepa for like 5 months, I didn't mind when I was on gen, removing me from the gen was the break g point, mind you the roof of the place was leaking, it wasn't well done, spoilt a PS3 for me permanently. Thank God I didn't pay 30k for repairs since I felt it was the managements responsibility, the toilet water was no more running for about 3 months, they wanted me to drop money so they could convert conduit plumbing to surface since it was broken, I refused.

Hope my adventure will give more insight to people wanting to start game business or other business.. Will update when I set up a new one.



Summary
I made my money back
Sales were about 30 percent what I expected,
Structures were bad(roof and plumbing)
No electricity at all, as in I'm expected to run on gen/inverter all day
They took shops off their main gen.
Paying 200 or 250 for a shop wasn't worth it any more relative to that area.

Thanks, there's a big advantage when one has multiple sources of income, don't feel too bad. Looking for a better spot.

@crafteck !!! Thumbs up for this thread.
Funny how I am just discovering this after the journey ended. Anyways, that is business life.

A young boy in my area approached me to finance one for him and I am unwilling to stake more than 300k for a start.

I did the business myself about 20 years ago, before going to Uni and it was worth it. Thus I am willing to give this lad the pedestal I Never had and see what he makes out of it. If he turns out good, I will pump cash in it, otherwise, I will sell off. I couldn't get your number, I would have loved to chitchat. My WhatsApp is 08026144703 cheers
