Operator introduction: Guide to the process of opening a shop in an Internet cafe \x0d\ Now many friends want to start their own businesses in the face of enormous employment pressure. However, a successful entrepreneur must have a sense of risk, a comprehensive pre-planning and investment budget, and a good attitude. Therefore, for many friends who intend to open Internet cafes at present, the opening process of Internet cafes must be mastered. \ x0d \ x0d \ Ada just graduated from university last year, but for professional reasons, he didn't find a good job for a while. During the Spring Festival, Ada visited relatives and friends and found that there were not many Internet cafes in her city (the provincial capital). So I decided to borrow some money from my parents and relatives and plan to open a small and medium-sized (100) Internet cafe in my city. \x0d\\x0d\ Where is the business location selected? \x0d\ business location directly affects the business of Internet cafes. In a good location, people are crowded and business is naturally better, but the rent and other expenses are higher. \ x0d \ x0d \ location and rent: near the university, on the second floor of the facade room, the rent is 2000 yuan per month. \x0d\ Business target: college students and employees in surrounding factories. \ x0d \ x0d \ The choice of business location should be based on the situation of yourself and your customer base. It is suggested that Internet cafes should be built in places with certain consumption capacity, such as prime locations in cities and near schools. If it is located in a student's family, the business location should be near the school, preferably near the college; If it is aimed at office workers and white-collar workers, the business location can be chosen next to office buildings and hotels. \x0d\\x0d\ Tip: It should be noted that according to the Regulations on the Administration of Internet Service Business Places, Internet service business places are not allowed to be set up within 200 meters of secondary schools and primary schools and in residential buildings (hospitals). \ x0d \ x0d \ Ada chose a normal university in her city. In addition to this normal university, there are several colleges and factories nearby (figure 1). The main target of Internet cafe service is college students, and the secondary target is employees of surrounding factories. Internet cafes are built on the second floor of the facade room to save rent. In addition, choose to be near colleges and universities to prevent minors from entering Internet cafes. \x0d\\x0d\ Tip: According to the Regulations on the Administration of Internet Service Sites, business units of Internet Service Sites shall not accept minors into their business sites. \ x0d \ x0d \ How big is the Internet cafe? \x0d\ Different Internet cafes have different investment costs, and the specific scale depends on their own funds, the estimated number of Internet users and the relevant laws and regulations in their places. \ x0d \ x0d \ area:160m2 \ x0d \ computers: 60 \ x0d \ x0d \ According to the Regulations of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Ministry of Culture on the Administration of Internet Service Business Sites, the approval of Internet cafes to set up Internet service business sites shall comply with the provisions of the State Council and the cultural administrative departments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. \x0d\\x0d\ Tip: It is generally stipulated that the total number of computer equipment in each Internet cafe in municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capital cities and cities with separate plans shall not be less than 60; The total number of computer equipment in Internet cafes in municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capital cities and cities under separate state planning shall not be less than 30; Each Internet cafe in the western region, counties and towns can appropriately reduce the total number of computer equipment. \x0d\\x0d\ As Ada is located in the provincial capital city, the size of Internet cafes shall not be less than 60 computers. He decided to open an Internet cafe with 60 computers. The rented house covers an area of160m2 (about 20m in length and 8m in width), so besides the space occupied by 2× 60 =120m2 computers and the area occupied by toilets, service desks and aisles (about 30m2), there is about10m2. \x0d\\x0d\ Tip: According to national regulations, the area occupied by each computer in an Internet cafe should not be less than 2 square meters. \ x0d \ x0d \ The rented house was originally a civil building structure. In order to save and make rational use of space, Ada decided to open the middle partition through communication with the developers, designed a 1 meter-wide aisle, and opened a special fire safety exit. There are 1 1 rows on the left side of the house, with 4 computers in each row, totaling 44 computers (Figure 2), and there are 9 rows on the right side, with 2 computers in each row, totaling *** 18 computers, totaling 62 computers, including 2 Internet cafe servers. \ x0d \ x0d \ How much is the investment? \x0d\ Many people only see the owners of Internet cafes counting the money of netizens. In fact, people are often confused by the superficial scenery, but they don't know that there is bitterness behind the owners of Internet cafes. Only after careful calculation can we determine whether Internet cafes are worth investing. \x0d\x0d\ Initial investment budget: about 250,000 yuan \x0d\ Monthly operating cost: about 9,000 yuan \ x0d \ Estimated monthly income: about 1.26 million yuan \ x0d \ In terms of initial investment budget, according to the current market price, the average price of each computer is 30,000 yuan. The investment of network equipment in Internet cafes includes dedicated routers (2,000 yuan), three switches (2,400 yuan) and network cables, totaling 5,000 yuan. The cost of tables and chairs, air conditioners, water dispensers and other equipment in Internet cafes is about 20,000 yuan. The renovation cost of Internet cafes is about 20,000 yuan, including glass doors, renovation construction costs, renovation materials costs and light box advertisements. In addition, the total cost of handling the "Internet Cafe Cultural Business License" and related documents is about 20,000 yuan. In this way, the initial investment amount is about 250,000 yuan. \x0d\\x0d\ Tip: If the funds are tight, you can consider joining the Internet cafe alliance, so that you can get some renovation funds. \ x0d \ x0d \ After the formal operation of the Internet cafe, if the average business hours of each computer is 12 hours, then the monthly operating cost is roughly: rent of 2,000 yuan, electricity charge of about 4,000 yuan, broadband fee 1500 yuan, employee salary 1000 yuan, and other expenses of 500 yuan, so the total operating cost is about. \x0d\\x0d\ If the average daily business hours of each computer are 12 hours, the monthly gross income is 60 PCs × 1 yuan/hour×12 hours× 30 days = 2 1600 yuan. \x0d\ After deducting the monthly operating cost, the monthly income is 2 1600-9000 = 12600 yuan. However, compared with the initial investment of 250,000 yuan, it will take about 250,000 yuan//kloc-0.26 million yuan ≈20 months to recover the cost. If the business is good, the cost can be basically recovered in one and a half years. \x0d\\x0d\ How to apply for an Internet cafe license? \x0d\ If you want to open an Internet cafe, you must go through the examination of the cultural department, the public security organ, the fire department and the administrative department for industry and commerce, otherwise it will be banned by the corresponding law enforcement departments. \x0d\ Expenses: initial fee, management fee, production fee, etc. Please consult the relevant departments and chain Internet cafe operators for specific fees. \ x0d \ x0d \ related units: industrial and commercial administrative departments, cultural administrative departments, fire departments, public security organs, ISP, chain Internet cafes operating enterprises. \ x0d \ x0d \ At present, the state implements a licensing system for the business activities of business units in Internet service sites. According to the original regulations of the country, the general process of opening an Internet cafe is as follows: \x0d\ First, you can go to the local administrative department for industry and commerce to register the enterprise name, give your own Internet cafe a good name and register. \x0d\\x0d\ Next, choose an ISP, sign an intention agreement for Internet access service, and pay relevant fees. \ x0d \ x0d \ Then, the Internet cafe operator shall apply to the local cultural administrative department at the county (city, district) level, fill in the Application Form for Project Establishment of Network Cultural Business Activities and submit relevant materials. The administrative department of culture shall make a decision within 20 working days from the date of accepting the application; Upon examination, if it meets the requirements, an approval document for the preparation shall be issued. \ x0d \ x0d \ Internet cafe operators shall apply to the county (city, district) level fire department and public security organ for issuing fire safety inspection opinions and network security management software installation certificates after obtaining the approval documents of the cultural administrative department for setting up Internet cafes, and submit relevant materials. The public security organ shall make a decision within 20 working days from the date of accepting the application; After on-the-spot investigation and review, approval documents will be issued. \ x0d \ x0d \ Internet cafe operators apply to the cultural department for final review with the approval documents of the fire department and the public security organ, and the cultural administrative department will make a decision within 15 working days from the date of accepting the application, and if they pass the on-site inspection and examination, they will issue a network culture business license. Finally, Internet cafe operators can apply for registration with the administrative department for industry and commerce with their licenses and obtain business licenses according to law. \ x0d \ x0d \ But since 2002, the state has stopped examining and approving the network culture business license for operating Internet cafes, and Internet cafes have been classified as "restricted industries". In 2004, the national cultural department stipulated that only qualified chain Internet cafes were eligible to apply for the Network Culture Business License, and individual Internet cafes were no longer approved.
