How Much I Will Charge

For the sake of this post I will be estimating the cost of the service I will provide with the LAN café/restaurant idea. In the concept of this idea I will either have booths or several tables set up throughout the building with budget-built and/or sponsored computers on them. These devices will be equipped with the best internet connection that I can provide for them. The focus behind this service is for people who want to PC game but don’t have a proper computer to play on and/or they do not have an internet connection capable of supporting the games that they play, it may also aid customers in any other task that requires a stable connection. It is difficult for me to price this service because very few these cafés are in the United States as this kind of business is more wide-spread in Japan and South Korea. If I want to follow what these countries charge for their services I would be looking at approximately $2.36 to $4.73 USD per hour. Though this cost is affordable for many people, which is my intention, I do not feel that the business will survive off these rates. I will need to further investigate what these cafés charge but now I am feeling that $5-10/hour might make more sense. What might make some of this money back however is the food services what will be provided inside the establishment. Pricing may depend on the popularity of the business, but I also want these prices to be affordable as well. I don’t want to sell the food for dirt cheap but at the same time I don’t want to charge ballpark prices for a plate of nachos. I will also need to look into seeing a proper middle ground in that regard as well.

I also want to know the ups and downs of creating a business in the modern world during a time where internet and media coverage can make or break any company. I can understand that advertisement has always been a factor in business for a very long time but how has the internet intensified the concept? Another is how to find sponsors or partners in the business world and if one is found what is needed to reach a profitable conclusion. All the points mentioned will more likely differ from person to person, but I feel that is especially applies to this one. I must learn these secrets to lure the competition into a false sense of security so that the scouts of the 41 st ...

Guest Speaker Robert

The second guest speaker is another entrepreneur named Robert Coons, the co-founder and CEO of Scout Military discounts. Unlike our fist guest who make products and companies seemingly because he could. Coons saw a specific issue that had a potential market and worked to find a remedy for the issue. One of the primary focuses of Scout Military is to help service members by making it easier to find discounts which apply to them. This product already exists in the world today but did not seem effective in its current use. I was impressed at Coons application because it was an issue that I to an extent knew about but in the end thought nothing of it, while at the same time he noticed this issue and made his best effort to fix this issue that to me was just a passing thought. Scout Military has been in operation for many years but is still working on its first product. The product in question is a cell phone app that allows the user to check for military discounts in stores and othe...
