#net cafe philippines

About a year ago, I wrote about the state of the internet cafe business in the Philippines and why it's a seemingly losing battle. A couple of days ago, I mentioned that I started venturing into the Internet Cafe with a friend. I got emails asking why I thought the net cafe is still a viable business and here's my take. The major driving force with my decision to going into the internet cafe business is different though. What I am looking into are parallel businesses that I can put on top of the net cafe business without incurring additional or too much overhead. That way, all I need is for the revenues of the net cafe to at least cover rent, bills and wages. What are possible side businesses that one can add on top of an internet cafe? You can look into totally unrelated combinations too -- like a laundry shop and a net cafe, a video rental, a used book store, a car wash service or a 24-hour grocery.
