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.

Vinyl walls and furniture so everything's easy to hose down.

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!

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.

I would make a PC bang based on cleanliness. I've gone to a few, the ones that were the cleanest were packed, the ones that looked like a gas station restroom were empty.

You guys are catering PC bangs to Westerners, not too the biggest market there is.

Korean ajoshies.

I'd make my themed around Alienware, make a partnership with the actual Alienware company to have them be my exclusive supplier of hardware. In exchange they get free advertising and brand awareness as the top gaming PC brand in the biggest gaming country in the world. Not only all the computer hardware would be Alienware, but also the interior design, chairs, walls, desks, even the bathrooms. Having a front counter staffed with hot chicks in mini skirts that would deliver food and drinks right to your PC is a requirement. I'd have a special "stadium" arena where we'd hold televised events like CS or SC tournaments. I'd make co-marketing deals with several game companies to host monthly events and tournaments. Special deals for students and adjussi's. Membership loyalty cards that give discounts on food and drink. I'd have two floor PC bang - first floor is for non-smokers and second floor is for smokers...smoke travels upwards afterall.

The biggest market for PCbangs aren't adjussi's actually, they're students. Adjussi's usually go to the penny arcade / slot machine gambling places.

Someday when i'm rich i plan to make this a reality actually - even if i have to do a massive bulk order of Alienware PC's myself.
