HABA NURU... NA YOU MESS

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]Seun, you're an ediot. . . . and that's as constructive as a criticism can get.

What did you expect, 100% satisfied comments from your potential customers?

And you even banned me for pointing out architectural flaws that are clearly apparent. mtcheww

Learn to take constructive criticism and stop acting like a kid.[/quote]The smell of envy is nostalgic.

If we all got angry when we saw Aluu guys burn Uniport students which lasted for just 1 hour. Does it now make sense for God who is the epitome of love to torture and burn humans for billions and trillions, I mean forever for just 60 years of sin. I know there is punishment for sin but believe me a loving and just God will not make it last forever.

Honestly, I rather invest my money on this bra than human hair.

Don't you just love investigative journalism. When I feel great using my money to buy the newspaper. Guys like this should be encouraged.

I have an office space located along stadium road. If interested contact me on 08036406044.

How timely! The February issue of the popular Awake magazine discusses this. Grab a copy, it’s usually without charge.

tundecraig:
The cold hard truth is that no matter what you do or don't do the income of a cyber cafe is limited to the number of hours in a day and you can never have more than 24 hours a day.
Thus if you have 20 computers in your cafe and you charge N100 per hour, all you can make is N48,000 in a day and the reality of course is that you will most likely NEVER make that as there will always be times when a computer or the other is free even if you open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Most Cafe's close shop after their first year in operation. Very few stay open for up to 5 years and I do not know ANY cyber cafe that was operating in 2003 that is still operating (I may be wrong).
There is lots of cashflow in cyber cafe business, but very little profit.
The are only two ways out:

1) Customise your browsing services
2) Add other services such that browsing pulls in less than 5% of your income. Services like Training, E-Commerce services, Web Hosting & Development, Computer Sales, Ebay services, Information products distribution, Online & Merchant Payment services.

Well you're wrong! My Mum and I opened our cyber cafe(Rapeedee Cybercafé in Ogba Lagos) in April 2003 and believe me we are still on. This month we are opening another branch twice the size the current cafe in Abule Egba.
There is profit in Cybercafé business, you just have to get 4 things right.
A, Location
B, Management
C, ISP
D, Resilience

Location: If you are not in a strategic place, you have spelt doom for your business from the very start! From experience those who have been helped in this business based on location are usually in densely populated residential neighborhood. They tend to have longer peak times. Also people tend to spend more time surfing the net when they are relaxed usually during the evenings than business hours. Don't forget these locality have all peak time weekends. So paying cut throat rent in the business district poses terrible over head cost and will still do you little or no good. First priority: LOCATION.

Management: Please DO NOT VENTURE INTO THIS BUSINESS JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE CUSTOMERS DOLING MONEY AT PEAK TIMES! You basically need the technical know-how (both hard and software) to maximize your profit, you need your systems up and running as much and possible, which means maintenance should be your watch word. Try also to invest in 1 or 2 cheap but effective backup computers that can serve the time it will take to repair the broken down system, then WITHOUT DELAY repair the faulty system and let it get back making money. Remember you need to keep the overhead cost low so try doing this yourself or a staff and not an employed 'in house engineer'('cos they keep recommending what is not to milk you dry). Try getting the right TIMER (Do not over look this aspect). I don't know about the ability of other ones in the market, but we have been using SURF STATION since the inception of our cafe and has gained mastery over it. When other cafes where having vandals (these vandals include unwanted/dishonest staff) penetrating into their systems we were 'covered'. Still on software, get original and updated antivirus and Deep Freeze for Virus control. There are many softwares out there that can ease your work for you so keep making your research. Set out to run the business YOURSELF!
Never allow ‘Yahoo Guys’ be your customer base. You’ll be sending negative signals to much larger potential customers around. It’s only a matter of time before the café drown.

C. ISP: The rule of thump is "If your ISP is bad. YOU ARE BAD". Slow, full of Viruses, link not consistent(always a down time) is all pushed down to the receiving cafés and customers don't care how much you dramatize while explaining to them the terrible service they are getting. When searching for excellent ISPs; try checking their longevity in the business, their customer base and if they strongly invest in maintenance and upgrade of their equipments (believe me I checked all that). Please don't be enticed by 'glorified cybercafes' fronting as ISPs with cheap bandwidth price. THEY DON'T LAST! I've suffered from them many times. Go for better ISP even if at slightly higher cost. It will pay off at the end of the day

Resilience: Have a tough spirit, there will be good, bad and ugly times, Virus outbreaks, internal network malfunctions, even the best ISPs still have down times, and angry customers are all part of the routine. Only the strong survives in this line. We were 7 along Ajayi road when we started but are now slimed down to 2.

Above all if you have realist expectations say a profit of 10-17k per day plus or minus, cultivate a saving attitude(to reinvest into the café or a raining ‘down time’ day) follow a strict maintenance routine, do the major admin and repairs yourself and invest your time finding the right ISP, YOU ARE IN BUSINESS!

[size=8pt]It's one thing to get the perfect design, it's another to get it done perfectly. The problem here in Nigeria is not the civil work in terms of structures but the FINISHING. Believe me the standard here is way too low. So leave the issue of contractors redoing anything; it doesn't work that way here. They'll be wondering "what defects are you seeing" that they can't  notice. I've been to the US once(just six months ago), with the homes you've got there, it will be difficult to get the right quality driven contractor that will handle the Project 'US standard'.
