EXAMPLE: fictional café, not a real client, no prices
Café Middagzon
Café Middagzon is a small, fictional café with a terrace, built for this example. Its only online presence is a Facebook Page, and the menu customers see there is a photo of the paper menu. The situation is made up and does not describe any real business.
Prepared after a free online call on 8 September 2026 and an on-site visit on 15 September 2026 (example dates)
What we saw during the visit
Every value below is an example: plausible for a café like this, but not measured at a real client.
Wi-Fi and payment network
On the terrace, the guest Wi-Fi signal was weak: -76 dBm, the lowest reading of the visit. Guests and the card payment terminal at the till use the same Wi-Fi network with the same password.
Example measurement: Wi-Fi signal strength read on a phone at table height on the terrace, and a look at the list of devices connected to the router, both during the visit.
Website and online presence
There is no website of its own. The Facebook Page is the only place the café appears online, and its menu is a photo of the paper menu. A search for “coffee [town name]” on a phone, done on site, did not show the café on the first screen of Google Maps results.
Example finding: a look at the Facebook Page and a search test on a phone during the visit.
Staff and everyday security
Neither of the two staff on shift knew what to do if an email asked for an urgent bank transfer to a new account number.
Example finding: a short conversation with staff during the visit.
What we would propose
Wi-Fi and payment network
Split the network in two, one for guests and one for the till and the payment terminal. Add one access point for the terrace, so the signal there is about as strong as inside. After the work we measure again to check it.
This is a clearly defined job, so it gets one fixed price. What mostly sets that price is how much cable the terrace access point needs.
Website and online presence
Build a simple website you can update yourself from your phone (menu, prices, opening hours and photos) without calling a developer. Your Facebook Page stays, and both the Page and your Google Maps listing can link to the new site.
A website like this is a defined package, so it gets one fixed price once we know how many pages it needs.
Staff and everyday security
A short session for the team at the café: when a bank account number changes, always call back on a number you already know, and what to do after a suspicious email or a wrong click.
A session like this is a clearly defined job, so it gets one fixed price.
The order of work
- Week 1: the network split and the terrace access point. It is a short job, and it deals with the biggest risk first: guest phones on the same network as the till and the card terminal.
- Later: the website and the staff session. Both take preparation on your side (photos, text, staff availability), so we plan them once week 1 is done.
How the price is built
This example shows no prices. A real plan is priced after we have talked through your business and, where the work needs it, measured on site. Three things shape each price and the order of the work:
- How clearly the work can be defined. A defined job, like a website or a Wi-Fi installation, gets one fixed price. Custom work that nobody can size in advance is billed by the hour, for the hours actually worked.
- How many hours it takes once we have measured on site. This is why we measure before we give a price.
- How urgent it is for you. A guest network that does not work usually comes before a nice-to-have.
You get every price in writing, whichever form it takes, before any work starts.
What we do not do
- We do not install anything until you have agreed to the plan.
- We do not ask you to sign or pay anything on the spot. You get the plan on paper and decide when you are ready.
- We do not build a website that is hard to leave. If you ever want to move it elsewhere, we tell you what that involves.
- We do not sell a bigger package than the visit showed you need.
