| It's incredible how 99.9% of them are exactly the same. Same games, price, hours, food. I would look at changing these things. Maybe hold a tournament once a month or something. Any ideas? |

Charge 3,000 won an hour and provide free cigarettes and ramyeon. Have the person behind the desk be a hot chick in a skimpy top.
I'd call it a luxury PC Room. I bet it'd make 2x as much profit as a regular pc room. |

That's the ticket right there. |

In the right area, the name alone would ensure profit.
The tourney idea mentioned wouldn't grab much attention at first, as there are a ton of online tournaments that frequenters of pc bangs are involved in, both illegal and legal, so it'd be hard to compete with that.
Something that should also be offered, and is surprisingly sparse, is easy printing, copying, scanning, burning, and cloning. That would bring in some serious cash in a business area.
Call it "Hackers luxury PB bang" and you'll bring in all sorts of people, from pirates to confused English majors. |

I've been to quite a few....probably more than most folks on this board.
The best I've been to is a chain in gangnam that uses real leather armchairs for seats and lounge like decor....it almost made going to PC bangs cool. Not in korea, but in Burma I went to a pc bang decorated like a gigantic modern castle hall with world of warcraft banners. Biggest ceiling I've seen for a PC bang.
Probably not legal, but I always thought a PC bang that had a bar(with nice atmosphere) would be cool.
Even rarer, there are sketchy dive bar-ish PC bangs with cheapo computers and 50 cent an hour....those are interesting....the crowd definitely skews toward the degenerate and card junkie types.
Somebody should just go all out and make a PC bang version of Roadhouse complete with Korean gang members, a "message" parlor upstairs, and live music by third rate bands. 25 cents a hour(free for hotties), smoking allowed everywhere, and tons of fights. I'd check my email there! |

This. There is a huge PC Bang district in my neighborhood, because I live near a university. I wanted to print some stuff once after school (I'd have done it there otherwise), I went to 4 or 5 before one pointed me in the right direction. And all that place had was a rinky dink, $100 all in one printer, scanner, copier that took over a minute to print out three printed pages of type. |

Free cigs. and soju to any kid over 5. And the 'Teenage Special" (once a week lottery to win short-time with a hottie).
Now that will draw them in - and keep them coming. |

Most PC bangs I frequent have hot girls working. If you're hot you have a huge leg up getting a job here in the service industry.  |

Bouncers ensuring no Hoking or excited screaming into microphones for hours at a time.
Seats next to foreigners may not be abandoned within minutes with excuses of "the computer doesn't work".

| No smoking allowed since mostly kids go. Kids get hooked, because the air is one big lung of cigarette smoke. I'd also throw up a non-smoking sign out front too. |
