I have a cousin that started a few/if not one CC.

he started it as a side business plus he comes from a rich family.
Maybe you would want to speak with him? he COULD help you if he wants.

But please rmb in return, he might ask for some fee or equities? Want?

so lazyserv, did you managed to open your internet cafe?

juz wanna ask....if i bought a Cyber cafe License located in mpsj area...can use the license to open a new cyber cafe in other area not in mpsj...cuz im only buying the license

uberific,

As far as I know, you can't change municipality. If you bought a MPSJ license, you can only operate it in Subang.

Hi, this is my past experience for running a cyber cafe:
1. Which location u choose? Cause most of the stage government won't approve the business license for cyber cafe; we only can apply for signboard license (lesen Papan iklan by DBKL). So u will get the trouble almost every month when they checking.

2. Cost for PC (CPU + Monitor) around RM2300 ~ RM2500

3. Fixed cost like electricity and wages must control well. Especially electricity bill will shock u....if you are running 24hrs...

4. Renovation cost and rental deposit based on your capacity....

5. My experience is, if you really want to attract people's, at least 100 PCs is necessary... So total cost is around RM350,000 ~ RM500,000

6. Last is the gaming license. The most costly is the SMM, which is license for Dota...it can cost u few thousand per month, depend how u neogotiate with the marketing ppls...

Good luck

Added on July 3, 2012, 3:16 pmBro, you are right! Actually they have no right to collect money Fromm cc, as long as you got the Original frozen throne for every pc in cc. BUT, they still say they are legal to collect it, if you didn't pay, they will come to take your pc. This also reported in media. In Malaysia, some of the cc also no pay, so depend how dare you are and can you afford the trouble or not~~~ his is my experience when I running cc business....

Added on July 3, 2012, 3:22 pmDerek, to be honest, cc license is very hard to apply nowsaday. Some they say no more license issue in the future. Then the monthly gaming license, SMM is the highest fees among all the gaming license....

Hope this little tips will help~~

last time i got 1 unit CC license to sell, but expired duno still can renew or not.

---------------------

Don't start a CC bro, I saw a CC owner, running his business with hardworking, in the 1st 2~3 year, he still can expand his shop, rent 1 more shop beside, after renovate more beautiful and put some bigger screen LCD PC, still using crap pc. After few years until now, all computer never upgrade, all using 512Mb ram (still can run Dota but....), staff service also like shxx, worse & more worse, so i never go that cc again .


Last few days i got passby that area, i saw the CC owner drive a BMW, The both shop mezzanine floor (his cc upstair) lastime used to be storeroom or what i forgot, have became slot machine shop.

U get what i mean ?

if rewind 5-10 years back you will make alot from cybercafe
but now ?
are you sure? unless your place you the only one who opens cybercafe
dont get me wrong cause i have friend who is running cybercafe business for the past 7 years as well
Business good,every month turnover in profit rm30k after deducting everything and he is running 50 pc's

But then thats only last for the 1st 4 years,after that business starting to slow down.
Customer = have pc at home so dun go to cc often
New cc opened nearby,if 1 ok,if 3 open at 1 time?
how much max u can go per hour? reasonable rate is rm2 per hour,some cc offering rm1 per hour...+drink, +print
If really hot ur area like ss15 for ftz asia,even look at the surrounding early 2005 alot of cybercafes around there with alot of patrons...but now ? mostly closed down rite?

Lack of multiplayer games out there,whats avaiable? DOta? DOta 2 ? CS?
all outdated bro,only Dota 2 is new..others? At least 7years+, do you think people will start to play again? Long hour gaming? hard mang..mostly have computers at home...but if u wanna giv it a try then why not
but its not as profitable as before
=)

anybody know how much is the utility cost monthly ?

TS, try to get your cc near a college, e.g. Taman Connaught area (Near UCSI, no don't open there, we've got more than enough nice CCs already)

make sure they have very nice chairs, have very popular internet connection (Unifi, and should state in front of the glass entrance)

must have contract with flying spaghetti monster (so that your customers can get perks and a better reason to go to your CC) (for games like League of Legends, etc.)

or Asiasoft (for MapleStory, etc.)

I'm not sure about the CC management system, most CCs i go to these days have the same managing system, i mean the games and entertainment menu, etc. just not sure what you call it, I forgot.


take examples from FTZ, Orange, Coolge, Tbun etc.

Question: Is cyber cafe a sunset business as there are enough products to satisfy the need for gaming such as Android and P1/unify?

best examples are as stated ~ they're linked

I saw someone running a console cafe business now. Around 20 tv + ps3 set in the shop.

TS if you havent start ur bizz, you should pay a visit to Sino (nearby Klang bukit tinggi 1) , or Blitzone ( KP or other places)

1xx plus PC , fri sat sun - almost full house (package 3hour only RM6)
not sure this business is profitable or money laundry

I think the licensing for the games is expensive, i pay a visit to a cc before .. they use pendrive to install dota so they can avoid the fees :swt:

Btw Happy New Year

hi Alakikhosham, UGPM

Without taking the exam, can i open the franchise directly? Can I open more than one?

just a note, since ur wife is maintaining it...

cybercafes are normally targetted by robbers. you need to equip good cctv/door lock mechanism etc
