does anybody know the procedure to open cc?i meant procedure to get the licence

I knew it! Tsk tsk.
Bah, as much as I would love to bash on the issue, I guess that is just how it goes all these while.

Moving along, something interest me from one of the posts:

Why does making RM$400-$500 a day is mentioned as 'not enough' to cover back the initial capital invested, which lets say within RM$100k-RM$200k?

I won't start by asking whether the expenses are too costly, I'm sure every business have that, but I sure would like to hear examples within say, monthly expenses vs profit gain.

want to ask somethgs here.

cybercafe nowadays mostly operates 24hours rite?? goverment issue any banning cybercafe not to operate 24hours be4? or does it any license to operate 24hours??

hmm... i'm running bubble tea + CC... nowaday can make money in my state is bubble tea.. cost $0.65 ~ $0.95 (depend on the cup size) sell from $2.50 ~ 3.80/"3min to get ready" but for CC $2.00/hr  . and my next vision is looking partnership invest 6k ~ 10k only (no franchise fee). bcoz here still got many potential location. anyone interest to swap your credit card for business ^^!?

RM 10k pay 5%(minimum) = RM500 (2yr settle) <--- but 28days sales earn more than that to cover ^^!

that my 10cent...tq

hi guys, me and my friend are interested to open a cyber cafe in Lenggong, Perak which is at my friend's hometown.

seeing all those shabby CCs there, we thought "hey, why not make a better one out of those?".    and i can guarantee, there are always customers (heck, even those pentium 4 PC cybercafes has loads of them, why not us then?)

we have about 20~25k to be invested for the CC project if it's worth it.

what to do for starters?

how do you figure?

i want to know too...

do i need a cyber cafe license if i open a INTERNET ONLY CYBER CAFE. without games.

thanks guys

u better find those area with students as majority residence. campus or college where they have to go to cc to use internet.

Yeah, right. Esp nowadays most students have their own laptop, and mostly do register DIGI/MAXIS/CELCOM broadband. Not expensive though. They go to CC mostly for the sake of gaming only.

Hi Jordy, Edyek,

Though this may be true, but we're only looking at people who stays in Hostel or Small Density Apartment/Condo whereby doing an Internal LAN network for gaming/sharing is possible. The market is still open as there are many more people in normal residences area, all the terrace houses and so on who needs to rely solely on the ISP's connection in order to go gaming with their friends online. It is undeniable that Internet Connectivity in our country still remains a big challenge even for smooth gaming for everyone and that's why people still go to CyberCafes.

It will always be the case with if you have Friend A with smooth connection, probably Friend B is having a crap connection in his area. Normal weekdays, spending the time gaming at home with slight obstacle is alright but during the weekend, there will still be a lot of people willing to come out and get together with their friends in Cybercafe for a good laugh/challenge and enjoy the moment.

A friend of mine's BF opens a Cybercafe in Klang and at this moment, he's still getting a good 30k net profit. It could just be that he just boasted it but I'll never know. .

Jordy,

makes me wonder sometimes why we connect to the internet anyway? Like me, though I am connected to the internet via Laptop 8 hours a day but my hectic work left me just connected. The most web I surf is my company mail web. And recently, I signed witm maxis package plan and gave the iPhone 4 to my wife while i utilise the data plan on my HTC HD2 which I am able to surf, read news, check mails, stocks, etc with my PDA while I am waiting for my kopi early in the morning or minutes before going to sleep....

maybe LYN soon 

Again, like you said, we are venturing to the age akin to surrogate.... trap within the room and engage in virtual society
