Description:
Koehler Cyber Cafe has been in business since 2001 and ever since hosting and building websites has been our life blood of the business. The original concept of the business was to fund and build an actual coffee shop here locally and in that coffee shop provide Free WiFi for visitors, use special Microsoft surface tables to take orders from and provide more seating than other cafe's so that it cuts down on the lines of waiting at the counter and provides more sit ins and recurring refills and impromptu meets with the locals. In this design it would provide the ability for visitors to plug into the network via wifi and stay charged with a power outlet near them no matter where they sit. The Cafe would expand if needed into a console gaming area where kids could go and pay for game time to play system linked consoles with popular games that we would have on rotation through a subscription service provided. Spread throughout popular consoles like xbox, wii and Playstation, Again providing a subscription service for gaming so they could come and go as they desire as a member of the gaming community or provide a one time option payment as well which may include a few hours of gaming with a purchase of $5 or more in the cafe as well.
There are several Internet Cafe's in the nation, none in Alabama, especially none like this design and the closest design that I'm aware of is in Atlanta where computers are provided for gaming and a cafe of sorts is a bar in the gaming area to provide drinks.
I want to separate the two with a sound resistant wall and yet allow them to access each other internally.
I'm looking for one or more investors to help fund this venture to expand my business in bring this coffee shop to life. Help me breath life into this concept and let's bring the future to the cafe scene, I'd love to see not one, but several spread throughout Alabama and into the south east region and hopefully expanding throughout the nation.
I want to be the next StarBucks and put them out of business.
