I never finished up the business plan simply because of the economic situation in kuwait and "loose" money drying up meaning no funding being available... maybe if i come across a pile of cash i'll actually be able to go through with my idea one day :) @Lily, I have a somewhat completed business plan for such a concept that you described (the concept was inspired by a cafe i used to frequent almost daily while studying in the US).
