Digital Photo Printing As A Service Of An I-Café

24, Apr 2010

With very stiff competition going on among i-cafés especially those functioning as entertainment centers, the need to engage in services that could add revenue and income is getting to be a must for those already in business. Among the many services that can be added to an i-café business is digital photo printing. Aside from the not so big additional investment needed, the skill required for one to do the service is not high and the demand is always there in many areas of the country. Filipinos are known to be fond of keeping souvenirs of celebrations and events and with the prevalent use of camphones (cellphones with camera) and digicams (digital cameras) nowadays, digital photo printing as a service is a logical choice for an i-café owner to consider.

The I-Café As An Entertainment Center

18, Apr 2010

The internet café as an entertainment center is the most common business model for i-cafés nowadays. By entertainment, we mean the customers coming into an i-café for the purpose of doing something affording pleasure, diversion or amusement for themselves. While the earlier internet cafés were established mainly as information exchange centers with productive results expected out of the activities that the customers will do in its premises, recent ones were mostly catering to the leisure needs of its clients. The customers of i-cafés functioning as entertainment centers come in to play online and offline games, chat online with friends and relatives, check and reply to their emails and do social networking.

Securing The Business Permit Of An I-Café From An LGU

11, Apr 2010

Unless the process being followed by the local government unit (LGU) allows a business to be registered with other government agencies later, the Business Permit (sometimes called Mayor’s Permit) is the last to be secured by an i-café owner before he can operate his shop legally. The procedure in securing the business permit of an i-café from an LGU is more or less similar in most cities and municipalities in the country. The requirements, fees and taxes being imposed on the business may also vary depending on how the LGUs implement the provisions of The Local Government Code of the Philippines in their respective areas.
