Well...he has played with his operating hours...as well as what he charges. He currently is open during the week days (Monday-Thursday) 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM....and on Friday 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM unless someone wants to pay for an all nighter (I am not sure what he charges for an all nighter) but he gives them a discount to use the place from 12:00 AM to 8:00 AM. His hours on Saturday and Sunday are 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM unless someone wants to pay for an all nighter on Saturday night. During the summer he will adjust his hours again. I do not know if he has done it yet...but he told me that he was going to add five more computers...as the ten that he started with were full to often so he had people waiting to play.
Interesting, I was envisaging a lot more day activity - students during free periods, tourists using email, casual workers. Not to say a lot more day activity than night activity, I just thought he may have been open during the day, although of course i think a bulk of the customers would come from people getting off at 5pm. and weekends.

I was also thinking 3.70 an hour (AU$5) and probably have allnighters (12-8am) at a flat rate of 15 or so.. or half price.. it's hard ot say though as i don't know what traffic you'd pick up from bars and clubs as they close at 1pm-3pm to lock people in for 8 hours when the demand may be higher..

this will be a lot of fun to tinker with.
