SITE PREPARATION
The business will be renting a space along hi-way near to malls, and schools, were our target customers are mainly students and nearby neighborhood especially those people
whoserelatives or loved ones are at abroad and find it very convenient communicating with themthrough chat and email. The two hundred (200) meter radius requirements as provided in theexisting Zoning Code and other applicable rules and regulations wherein computer shops andother similar establishments and places of amusements should be put up or constructed atleast two hundred (200) meters away from the church, schools, hospitals, and other government offices shall be strictly complied with. Site survey is primarily our main concern inthis preparation. On our site survey we find out that the site
has less than 5 competitors andit’s a good sign of putting up the business.We choose the location, at #82 Samson Road at Caloocan City, beside Asian TrustBank. It’s about
40 square meters. It is the ideal place to establish an internet café because itis accessible to public because it’s along the highway and our target market is mostly students,near to schools like Divine Mercy College, Sacred Heart, St. Gabriel Academy
and GomburzaElementary School. We choose this site because we found out that competitors are minimal inthe place. It’s an urbanized area were accessibility, competency and we study niche/market, asour main objective while choosing this site. In accessibility, the location is just along thehighway, and it’s near to malls such as Ever
Grand Central, Victory Mall, Araneta Square, andPuregold, and schools such as Divine Mercy College, Sacred Heart and GomburzaElementary School and people just strolling
along the way and or passengers of utility vehiclecan easily see the Internet Café. In competency and study of niche/market, the proposedlocation is a commercial place, so the prospective customer’s is almost everybody. Most of theInternet shop located in the area is inside the malls while the competitors outside is justminimal, and for that we are more capable of attracting customer’s because we will offer moreaffordable rental fee in 15 pesos per hour. Our Internet café will provide small private boothsfor quiet chatting
compare to the standard elbow to elbow computer station.We agreed that the shop should be well ventilated (air condition) to make our customer comfortable, good music
is well provided, the PC’s is all well organized and arrange properlyaccording to their rows for the convenience of our customer. Each computer has their owngames, internet
and surfing to be chosen by our customer, what they want and need is mainlyour concerns

OPERATION OF A BUSINESS
Factors that we consider while putting up our own Internet café Location-Picking a good spot and we’ll hit us a gold mine.
Competition-Most business-minded people think of competition as a race
to charge thelowest prices in order to win customers. While it’s good for the customers, exceedingthe lower boundaries can drive you and your competitors to bankruptcy. One cannotexpect to recover a Php500, 000 investments if hourly rentals go down to as low asPhp10. It goes without saying that in this industry, there are no customer loyalty; justcheaper rentals.
Software Licensing-it’s really important to have an original operating system, becausepirated OS can eventually damage the system.
Expected ROI- investing money in a business is a risk in our case the well tabulated if financial statement is our major concern.Café opens at 7:00 am until 10:00 pm. Ahead of other competitors, this will lead us of
