- decide, are you a gaming icafe or a business/chat/surf icafe. its not easy to mix both. gamers and business people dont mix.
- there are plenty more tips probably from other members here. but last thing i can advice is dont go for price war. instead offer better service and let them see that you really have better serivce than your competitors around you

kini oh nice ni

and by the way i apil ang "if possible, update you hardware annually"

to Andz - Thanks Kaau. Karon pa ko kahibaw nga kuyaw jud mogamit ug pirated games like Blizzard ug Sierra.. Basin ma close lang dayon ang cafe ug maka multa pa ta

Pero Andz. ang license sa software ba, dapat 1 ORIG CD per Computer? Asta sad sa Windows? Tagai kono ko idea ani kay wa jud ko kahibaw ani.. salamat daan.


to t3ChNoâ„¢ - ok bai, thanks sad sa imo idea.

Almost all internet cafe's in Cebu, have fake OS.. and they only have 1 Original OS Cd to show lol. If we wer in america all of those cafe's would have closed by now lol.

[chocomai]

almost all, but not all. we have licenses to our OSes, Kaya lang windows 98se pa tawn ni, spent a fortune acquiring these licenses, sayang lang dili na gani nila supported(microsoft)

[celeron]

yeah amo pud... we use licensed Windows 98SE on all PC's pero sigi lang ug hang up atay kaayo... and we use OpenOffice para pang substitute sa MS Office...

mas nindot kung partitioned ang inyong hard disk...

drive C would contain all installed softwares like Yahoo! Messenger, OpenOffice, mIRC...

drive D... My Documents and the Games would be placed here...

Install DeepFreeze in drive C...

the Games folder would be "hidden"...

dont allow kids to view porno stuff... labi na kung daghan kag female kustomers.. dili na niya na sila mamalik...

there are a lot of free games found on the internet that some of the cusotmers might enjoy playing... so try pud ug install ani...

[nutjugger]

Thanks Celeron .. ive heard of OpenOffice, mag require jud na ug license? asa na mapalit?

Most of all Cafe's btaw diri cebu usa ra jud ang Original Cd to show.. if mao ni ako buhaton dili kaha ma close ang cafe?

Asa ko kapalit ug Volume license sa Windows XP? cguro mga 20 - 30 ka units ang butangan..

[chocomai]

bai, volume licenses of windows xp mahal gihapon, very small difference if you buy it individually. 20-30 units would cost you 150-200thousand pesos.

[celeron]

OpenOffice is opensource/freeware...

are there any i-cafes here in cebu na Linux ang gi gamit ok ra ba kaha for gaming (using WINE)

are there any softwares that prevents the user from installing softwares or running files?
