Collapse and failure is the inevitable conclusion of this presented concept.

Im still concerned about this statement as Gord apparantly owns several successful places.  What can I do for improvements?

First off, this is not an attempt to speak for Gord.

I think this quote sums it up -

Further, you appear to have a lot of wasted space given that you are dependent on 34 points of revenue.   

I think most centers will tell you that you need at least 40, if not 60 stations.  Unless you have another source of income, anything less than that will have a hard time surviving.

On the note of serving coffee and having computers, there is legislation in Florida right now to categorize all "Internet Cafe's" and to apply an additional tax to establishments within that category, in an effort to alleviate illegal gambling.  I am trying to put together an article for Deeds to post here concerning this topic.

Smokey...I'm glad you brought this up.  I know the Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco County sheriffs have issued warning to existing sweepstakes internet cafes to make sure they are operating within the law as of October 3rd.  The sweepstakes cafes use time to enter into lotteries or play gambling applications online that accumulate points and the cashier pays out based on point value.

Gotcha.  So I put another setup up.  lol Now it sports 19 console stations and 24 comps.  Hopefully this satisfies the quota.  I don't have a ton of capital (if any lol) and was planning on $120k for my first startup.
