      if there are a bunch of students together with wireless connection, and the rest of the stuff, what makes you think they will study at all if they don't have the discipline to just study at home?

      Why don't u hire some invigilators too and their job is to make sure the students who utilise your place really study? =X

      You have a point there. You major competition Macs is also open 24 hours. And they offer great food (well thats what most people think).

      I think there should be atleast 2 more really catchy selling points if you want to sustain a good business.

      Near to city, very hard

      If around HDB areas, you could get rent for $1k a month, and charge a very very basic fee, e.g. $2 a month, and attempt to earn from snacks or drinks vending machine
