What should I pay attention to when opening an Internet cafe?

Note the following points 10 for reference:

I. Location of business circle

The first thing to do in site selection is to determine the approximate location of the area or business circle, and then find the housing in a targeted manner. Generally speaking, the places suitable for opening Internet cafes are divided into five categories, the first category is university campus, the second category is near the station, and the third category is around the factory, commercial pedestrian street, living area and so on. Of course, no matter how to choose, the most important thing is to judge the consumption power and the number of customer groups in the region.

Special attention: No business premises for Internet service shall be set up within 200 meters around the campus of middle schools, primary schools and kindergartens or in residential buildings (hospitals).

Second, the floor selection

It is expected that there will be a room in the business district, depending on whether the floor is suitable. The location of this floor is related to the passenger flow in the later period. If it is inconvenient to enter the door, it will reduce the customer experience and affect the attendance rate. Generally speaking, the best location is the first and second floors, and there must be a straight ladder on the third floor and above. Don't consider the later transformation, it's too much trouble. On most rent issues, the first floor storefront is the most expensive, and investors and friends in Internet cafes should also fully evaluate the rent issue.

Third, advertising space.

Some customers, after renting a house, find that the Internet cafe needs advertising space in the later stage of its establishment, and the new advertising space needs to pay the property advertising space fee. It is best to spend money to solve things, but it is too annoying to encounter some unreliable solutions without spending money. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, we must negotiate the advertisement in the early stage, and it is best to choose a venue that can provide eye-catching advertising space.

Fourth, the site mode.

The problem of venue pattern is related to the layout of internet cafes in the later period. If the site pattern is not suitable, the decoration will not be easy to produce results. So try to choose a site with a regular pattern, and be clear about which walls can be demolished if it is not a clean house site. In addition, the height should not be too high or too low, and it is no problem to control the lowest point above 2.5 meters. I suggest you ask the landlord for the structural diagram, and let the Internet cafe design company take a look at it for you first, which is relatively safe.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) water supply and drainage problems

Generally speaking, the water bar module is essential for newly opened Internet cafes. Then, the problem of water supply and drainage should also be considered. Only when there is a site where water supply and drainage can be easily transformed can the design and construction be carried out smoothly.

VI. Distribution Situation

Terminal equipment, water bar equipment, air conditioning equipment, lighting equipment, the electricity consumption of these equipment is very high, and many venues can not meet the requirements of Internet cafes. Therefore, the establishment of internet cafes in the later period will definitely involve the expansion and transformation of power capacity. Therefore, before renting a house, you should calculate the electricity consumption and the cost of later decoration. Best of all, let the landlord do the decoration. Some landlords are eager to rent, which can be adjusted, and the money saved can be used on the cutting edge.

Seven, fire control facilities

Although you can apply for a license now, the relative fire control audit is more strict, and most newly opened Internet cafes cannot operate normally because they are stuck in fire control. Therefore, before renting a house in the early stage, we must see whether the fire-fighting facilities are complete, including fire exits, fire hydrants, smoke prevention and spraying. The suggestion here is to find a professional firefighter to see if it is easy to pass the fire, which is easy to ignore.

Eight, housing rent situation

How much is the rent of the Internet cafe? There is an evaluation standard that the rent of the day does not exceed one-third of the expected internet fee income. How to calculate? Internet access fee income is based on the daily income of a single computer in 35 yuan, and the number of computers is divided by 4 according to the site area. For example, the venue is 500 square meters, 120 computers, and the daily rent is 1.300 yuan. It is estimated that the daily internet fee is 4200 yuan, and the rental ratio does not exceed one-third of the daily internet fee. The rent of this kind of room is ok. In addition, when talking about rent, it is best to apply for rent-free decoration, because it takes about 2 months to open an Internet cafe from design to construction. Otherwise, the rent will be paid during construction, and the construction period will be very tight.

Nine, certificate processing

In some places, under the policy of controlling the total number of Internet cafes, not all cities and regions can open Internet cafes in order to prevent malicious competition in the local Internet cafe industry. In this regard, it is best to consult the local cultural department and rent a house if you can apply for a permit. In addition, if you can open an Internet cafe, you can negotiate with the landlord or the property and ask them to assist in handling all kinds of certificates of the Internet cafe, which can save investors a lot of trouble.

X comparison of site selection

There will be such a situation. I saw several venues that I thought were good, but I was struggling to choose which one. There should also be the judgment of risk assessment, that is, the later competition analysis. At this time, you can make a table to evaluate the above points and choose which advantage is more important. Of course, in addition to comparing the previous contents, it is more important to determine which venue is more suitable for estimating the investment scale and investment funds, so that comprehensive comparison can accurately judge whether this venue is suitable.
