OPERATION OF A BUSINESS Factors that we consider while putting up our own Internet cafe o Location Picking a good spot and well hit us a gold mine. o Competition Most business-minded people think of competition as a race to charge thelowest prices in order to win customers. While its good for the customers, exceedingthe lower boundaries can drive you

and your competitors to bankruptcy. One cannotexpect to recover a Php500, 000 investments if hourly rentals go down to as low asPhp10. It goes without saying that in this industry, there are no customer loyalty; justcheaper rentals. o Software Licensing-its really important to have an original operating system, becausepirated OS can eventually damage the system. o Expected ROI- investing money in a business is a risk in our case the well tabulated if financial statement is our major concern.Caf opens at 7:00 am until 10:00 pm. Ahead of other competitors, this will lead us of beingknown. Our goal is to give the needs of the students and others in an early manner of time.
