The idea is that so many places offer up games but there's not really a lot of places to play. So this would be some place for people to gather and play their games,meet like minded people,and just nerd out and have fun.
The general idea is to have seating with some consoles and arcade cabinets on the outer edges and tables for gaming with chairs. As far as services,we'd have vending machines for snacks and drinks and offer 3D,2D,and cloth printing (t-shirts,pants,blankets,that kind of thing). We'd also have a "bounty board" that lists good deals on stuff and allow people to sell items locally to other people. Dancing would also be allowed.
When I was a teenager I used to go to such a place to play counter-strike with my friends. We started a team and then that place sponsored us.
Back then there were LAN centers all over the area and they would host paid tournaments all the time.
They typically charged an hourly rate for playing and sold a lot of snacks.
Then when Steam came out all the lan centers closed.
Its not a bad idea. Give kids a place to chill while making money.
You could also double up and offer services like printing and sending faxes. I did a wiring job for a postal office for their fax machines and there were people coming in every few minutes paying $5 to send a fax.
