If any aspect of this FAQ isn't completely obvious, that's our fault, and we'd love to hear about it. Your comments will help us make these features clearer to all future users. That said, here's a little cheat sheet:

 1 Why use Coin Op?

first of all, it save money for staff and management cost.  I have been seen a lots of Internet cafe opened. imaging if a coin op laundry store is managed by a staff not coin op, I do not think any of them will make more profit. Image if the Internet cafe change to Coin Op, you can instantly save at least US$2,000 (just hypothetical ) for 1 staff cost per month, US$24,000 for 1 year.  Is it simple? The investment can get back in 1-2 month.  it is 100% return on investment per month, compare the interest rate 3% per year from bank .

Second of all, privacy, most user of Internet cafe do not what to be monitored.
