Although everyone now have a direct access to the internet but I still see some people making it big for just having a well equipped cyber cafe. Do you think it will be lucrative enough? How. Much do you think can start up one?

I don't think it is but if you can do other things too like helping students with project work and sell stationary then it may work for you.

I've also thought about those probability but I felt majority of the students here didn't have a direct access to computers or didn't know how to operate one so I can fill in the gap with my services.

If that's the case then you should go for it as it will be different for different locations and as for India I don't think it'll work as most people either have computer or they manage it somehow and that's why I see a decline in Cafes or they have started to offer more things that include stationary and other things that students may require and some even provide Xerox copies too.

To be on the safer side I will add stationeries and that also will be a good add along for more profit ,about the exerox copies it will also go in hands to hands a cafe business. I'm sure a student area will be best for such business to strive.

This is actually a very good business and for that, I will let you know a small store when I was studying we used to a have small shop near our school and most of the students used to buy all the stationery from the shop and that shop owner starting selling candies alongside and after that soft drinks and other savory snacks and also started Xerox copy and now he owns 3 shops and even built his house over the shop and I am sure he is making good profits.

That was my business 8 years ago. I had 35 computers but after global crises my profit lowered and after some years most homes have Internet and almost all people have smart and android phones, so income got less, so I sold it. My capital was half 568, 000 Ph money. I was financed by my foreigner ex bf.

Cryber cafe is an old business. Virtually every one are now using the internet on our smartphone and laptop. So things that are done there can now be done easily by ourselves

In my jurisdiction , gone are the days when cyber cafe was a very big business but now if you establish such kind of business, you would run at loss.

I personally think that it is a good way to capture the attentions of the potential customers by the cybercafes these days. Internet is one of the strategies to be offered. As compared to computer shops, they are not that profitable anymore.

That kind of business has gone extinct in my place. The advent of smartphones with super fast internet connection is what drove the business out. All you have now is a place to print documents.

Come to think of it. If smartphones were not available, some of us would have needed to go to a cyber cafe, buy time and make posts. I don't think it would have worked.

If IU was answering this question 10 years ago, I would have said cyber cafe business is profitable, however, currently because a lot of people use home internet, it is no longer profitable

To some extent, I believe that running a cyber cafe office is something that is still lucrative in my country because a lot of people still make use of their services here.

This business used to be lucrative but not anymore because people already have access to phones and they can do many things on their phones
