Administrator/Managerial Skill: Before any café can grow properly and prosper, the administrator must be business incline, must be a person with good managerial skills because the administrator has a great role to play.

If you have the skill, there is nothing wrong in managing and controlling anyway. He must have the qualities of a good administrator.

Don’t wait until customers come before clearing files in system, updating, formatting as this will cause a draw back to the business. Study the area you are operating and keep yourself abreast with the recent development especially jobs that involves many people.

Try your possible best to reduce the crowd in the café, if occasion demands you to add more systems, do it as this may send potential customers away. Many customers seeing a café always filled will make them feel they will not be attended to in time so, they have this notion to go elsewhere. Get the latest software and update them regularly and make sure they are kept properly for future use.

Create promotional banners and offers for regular customers as this will win the heart of customers that have not patronized you before. In the same vein, don’t make too much promotional offers as this may ruin the whole system. Make a survey plan on day to day business transaction to know whether the customers are satisfied, to know the financial status of the business and to keep yourself abreast on the latest development. Do you now see the reason I said the administrator have a lot to do? But be careful

Nearness to consumers: In business generally, it is good and profitable to locate business close to where services are needed. Like opening an internet café in a big organization or higher institutions of learning, government organizations where internet services are needed. This will constantly generate income for the business because, lots of jobs will come your way with a fixed price.

Slow Computer
Another problem which will make you lose your customers. When your computer is slow, you cannot install up-to-date software especially antivirus and games. You will make those PC crash often if you do that. you also should not purchase slow PCs. Choose in the middle or a little bit higher than the middle. So you will not be left behind by your competitors. If your targeted customers are not gamers, than you will have any problem with slow computer. Clean every file/folder saved in the system every day before going. All removable device like Flash should be blocked as this transfers virus to the system and cause PC to hang, delay, crash etc. anybody that wants to transfer files from removable USB device should inform the Cyber Administrator to scanned the Storage Device with the latest antivirus software before extracting the files.

Good Maintenance Keyboard and mouse are the most important hardware for your customers. Think. These two devices are the only things that are interacting with the customers, other than the monitor. Bad maintenance keyboard or mouse will only make your customer use it for five minutes and then run away. They want the best for what they touch and hold. A higher budget for keyboards and mouses is needed to make sure your customers’ satisfaction.

Fast internet service providers: it is quite annoying for a customer to spend hours trying to access sites because of the network speed. Customers like fast internet cafes where their job is done real quick. If your network is fast you will find out that, your customers will advertise for you by telling and directing others to your café. So, it is very necessary as an administrator to choose the best internet service providers.

Unauthorized access to PC: if you want your café business to function effectively, restrict sites, application, software that will stop your timer from running. Application like, Task manager, control panel, network connections/LAN network. Some people come not to browse but to run down the organizational setup of your business. Be wise!

Capital: café business is also capital intensive, whether you are using broadband or Modem. It’s just a slight difference. Capital is the backbone of every business entity. Do not spend money for things that will not generate income to the business. Make sure you have a special account where capital is save. Once capital is gone your business is 90 percent going to crumble.
Have a lovely day!
