Good Morning Karen,
My name is Mariann, I am located in Southern Maryland and am just starting
out on my adventure of opening a coffee house/cybercafe. I was wondering
if you could tell me where you got your arcade games as I am also thinking
of adding a game room.
Thank you ,
Mariann

Subject: [cc] grand opening ideas
Hello Again,
I have been replying to emails,and have never introduced myself and let you
know about my cafe.
My name is Karen, my family and I are opening our store in North Carolina,
USA.
Our store is 2250sf. We will have 20 networked computers, 6 arcade games
and 1 pool table. We went with Windows 98SE on the workstations and will
have linux on the server. I know we will have to download a million patches
for the games, but from all that I know and have read and heard about, it
beats WindowsNT hands down.
Our grand opening/ribbon cutting is September 29th. I am not sure what type
of door prizes to give out so if anyone has any good idea, please post them
to the list so we can all take advantage. I am trying to stay away from all
computer related items as some people may not have a computer and that is
why they are at our store.
We are not going to sell cooked food, just lots of snacks, and prepackaged
sandwiches as our store is adjacent to a deli. I would like to sell some
speciality coffees, but the machines are too expensive for us right now, so
we will only offer coffee from a regular coffee pot.
I would love to hear how some of you started, where and how you find your
software. Right now we are planning on just buying a copy of each game we
want for 8-10 computers and only offer it to that amount of customers at a
time. First come, first served.
Do any of you offer tournaments? We are planning tournaments and lock ins
so if you are experienced send some advice.
We are leaning toward the cybertime software program to monitor the
computer, but are also working on an inside program we are developing. The
software is a BIG expense for a startup, so we may have to pass on it for a
few month! I am not sure it works with linux either.
Well that's our store and story, would appreciate any tips and tricks you
have learned through the years.
Good Luck
Karen
