Re: [cc] starting a new cafe in London

[John Hoffman]

Shahid,   I work for BT and we have a nice example of a low cost complete cafe solution in Stoke, Festival Park. This was everthing - network ISP usage PC software firewall content filter.   We can quote for all the elements you need. Is this  in proof of concept phase? Do you want it cheap or scalable, do you need games?     The client is able to onward sell the concept and they would be in a position to supply a carbon copy to your self..     Please let me know what you are doing and timescales and I might be able to help.   My assumption is that you would like us to take the technical headache away and allow you to develop the 1st line support, cus service, and creative business development as part of your core business.   Let me know if you would like to know more   John Hoffman 07889 751 542 -----Original Message----- From: Shahid Halling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 31 December 2000 15:16 Subject: [cc] starting a new cafe in London Hi all,   Im looking to set up a cybercafe from scratch in West London, UK and was wondering if any of you guys could give me some idea as the how much a setup would cost and a rough idea as to kind of returns I can expect to make. Im looking to start off with about 10 machines and probably get a leased line from a good ISP and also have photocopying/fax and possibly training facilities in house too. Is this the best way to approach this? How much initial cost am i looking at? What kind of leased line would be best? Is there still a profitable market in setting up an Internet cafe due to the influx of free ISP's(am i wasting my time altogether???). All ideas/comments would be most appreciated. Naturally id like feedback from people based in the UK, but everyone elses comments would be valuable too   Thanks   S.Halling
