I think this would be the right section because it's about video games, but if not, I apologize!

What would you, as an avid gamer, want to see in a gamers cafe? Obviously many computers that you can use, fresh pizza, an awesome enviroment, and other people you can share your passion with. But what would you expect to see? The reason I ask is because my goal right now is to open a gamers cafe.

Some of the things I know I'll have to include are:
- At least 15+ computer stations where you can bring your own video games and play on our wifi.
- Wifi
- A snack/pizza stand in the store
- A buy/sell/trade video games feature
- Flat screen TV's that you can hook your gaming station up to
- A lounge area
- Weekly tournaments, lock-in's, etc.

Any other ideas? Thanks for any tips!

Also, if you know what learning in college/what to major in/classes to take to make running this kind of shindig easier, feel free to mention that!

Thanks!

Ahh... Doesn't Ben Croshaw co-own a couple of these in Brisbane?
What I'm saying is: have a look at existing gaming cafés, specifics of how they're run and the likes, if you haven't.

You'll want some sort of business qualification, I suppose; maybe also something in food.

Regardless, I don't think this is something for an inexperienced businessperson to tackle; something you could work towards, though, certainly.
