There are a lot of variables to consider. Are you in a densely populated area? How interested in computers is the general population? What is your rental cost (the building you are in) and other expenses? Licensing fees, etc. Have you done a cost analysis? Are you on a main thoroughfare or a side street? Is your place of business easily accessible to the general public? I go to this little E-Cafe since my computer crashed and they charge $2.00 an hour and they have only eight stations. Most of the clientele stop in for a coffee and a pastry and check up on their E-mail and are gone in about 10-15 minutes. Average customer spends $7 ($3 for the pastry, $2 for the coffee, $2 for the use of the computer). Early morning and late afternoon traffic in there is pretty heavy. Say $56 every 15 minutes, $224 an hour for say at least 5 hours a day, that's $1120. They are open from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm (long day for a mom and pop store). Things are a bit hard to come by in the Philippines being everything pretty much needs to be shipped in, so costs would be a bit higher I am supposing. Having more computers would generate more income, so do the math and take it from there.
You could also sell magazines, newspapers, sodas, cookies, munchy stuff, but you'll need time to clean the keyboards and such.
Hope this helps and good luck.
