Ilan dapat ang minimum units?
kasi with P10.00/hr rate medyo
mahirap recoup your investment?

banker, 10/hr yan po yung mga shop na very low specs ng pc at wala pong internet at kung meron man baka nakatap ang kuryente at walang mga permits. sa akin po 15/hr dahil wala akong bayad sa rental ng place at residential pa.

sa mga computer shop po dapat minimum 10 computers at kung maganda ang location po dapat at least 20 computers.

Having a cafe near a school is profitable but management should also be responsible in not letting students play during class hours. Thanks for the post BTW..very informative!

PhilippineJobs,

Mahirap iwasan na itayo ang mga gaming/internet shops malapit sa school kahit meron ng city ordinance o barangay warning sige pa rin sila sa operations. In my case nasa loob ng subdivision ang shop ko at malayo onti sa school kaya mostly customer ko mga kapitbahay ko though sometimes merong student but they come after their class.

sa ngayon hindi na ganoon kalaki ang kita sa ganitong business dapat sayo ang place para less expense at you need atleast 20units para mabilis ang ROI.
