[josevelarde]

it has to be a netcafe. we need to use this as a complimentary service for our primary service.... and no its not food.

Well, in net cafes, competition always pops out when they think the business is good. Then they lower their rates trying to close you down, which simply ends up in owners having a hard tme.

i'm really trying to put up one. i'd appreciate if u guys could give us some pointers. tabi kasi ng school yung nakuha kong place. i'm planning to buy a photo copying machine as well.

ambertookme,

instead of buying a photo copying machine, considering leasing one on a per copy basis. its expensive to maintain copying machines. baka maubos lang ang kinita mo sa maintenance and repairs. there are companies who lease out their machines this way.

@josevelarde
if you don't mind me asking, what is your primary service? just curious on why you're insisting on a net cafe.

Saang company kaya pwede mag lease ng photocopying machine?

hi oliverwoods!

i'm into this kind of business, computer rentals with photo copying machine. mas ok kung hindi ka na nga bibili ng machine just like us. mayroon dito sa kinuhanan namin 35 cents yung kanila per copy (sa kanila na maintenance, toner etc.) except the paper. walang sakit ng ulo, pag may problema tawag ka lang sa kanila, pupuntahan ng technician agad.

san ka ba? malabon kami eh.

is it true na if u have a computershop/netcafe, all of your softwares should be licensed.. coz i heard that if you're using pirated/unlicensed softwares, all your PCs can be confiscated by the "proper" authorities?

to the owners of computershops/netcafes here, do you guys use licensed softwares, which by the way are very very expensive.. or do you guys use pirated which are cheaper.. ?

thanks

punta kayo sa www.pinoypc.net maraming ok na thread don.

[kennster]

so to the guys owning an internet cafe/network gaming shop.. are you guys using licensed or pirated softwares.. coz im planning to put up my own business in a couple of months..

also if you're using licensed softwares, do u have licensed softwares per PC or just one licensed software for all the PCs?
