Chicco Di Caffe Davao.

Davao Coffeeshop

 



As we are fond of doing during trips, we seek out local stores or franchises to eat, drink and have coffee at.



One such place we found in davao is the Chicco Di Cafe, a coffee shop in Ayala Abreeza Mall in davao.

Price for brewed coffee is a lot cheaper than the average coffee shops we find in metro manila with a way bigger serving.

Same goes with their other coffee blends available.

16 0z. brewed coffee only costs 80 php vat inclusive.



Are there any other branches? Sad to say we were not able to ask the staff. If anyone knows, we'd love to hear from you.

[caption id="attachment_804" align="alignnone" width="1024"] 16 oz coffee[/caption]

Major drawback - no WIFI

* A little reminder for smokers going to Davao City - be careful where you smoke as the City Ordinance for no smoking is very strictly imposed.

For those that live or visit Davao City this restaurant is a must try.




The Restaurant we were able to visit was the one near The North Zen hotel on Lapu Lapu St.




[caption id="attachment_793" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Menu Chef Lu[/caption]




The restaurant is owned and operated by Chef Luliong Yu Food Products which started operations in Ayala Abreeza Mall last january 2011.

The dishes served tastes good and very affordable.






Try the lechon kawali rice - I guess this is a lot healthier since it was cooked without any oil.

Cebu, a great place to visit!

Cebu, a great place to visit!

Cebu is a province in the Philippines which consists of Cebu Island and 167 surrounding Islands.

Going to cebu by plane, you can take any of the major airlines operating in the Philippines.




By plane, you will land in Mactan International Airport. from there, you can take a taxi to almost any destination.

A nice mall to visit there in Cebu City, which has had extensive renovation and expansion is the AYALA Mall.

[caption id="attachment_725" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Ayala Cebu[/caption]

Mall Hours:
Monday to Sunday
10:00 am - 9:00 pm




[caption id="attachment_722" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Ayala Cebu[/caption]




Hotline: (032) 516-3025

[caption id="attachment_724" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Ayala cebu[/caption]




Ayala mall has stylishly set up their mall to provide their customers with ample spaces like parks and waterfalls where they can relax, eat or have coffee.

If you are in Ayala Mall and looking for a place to eat at an affordable price, you might want to try out the Sunburst Chicken.






Cebuano's are surprisingly ( for those that haven't been there) very warm and accommodating. Foreigners will have an easy time in Cebu, as the majority of the Cebuano's speak and write great English!




Recently, ( to me, since the last time I was in cebu was a couple of years back ) Cebu has put up a couple of new zones. The Business Park and The IT Park.



If ever you are in the IT Park and looking for a place to eat and drink, you might want to try these places:




Casa Verde Great  Food!!. Try the baby back ribs.

[caption id="attachment_741" align="alignnone" width="584"] Casa Verde Baby Back Ribs[/caption]

Captain A's - Food was okay - the beers at 250 per bucket of 6


VIP's - Didnt get to try the food -only the beers.

Or if you want to go to SM Malls and eat try the Chika-an. Great food at amazing prices.

Also, a must try for first timers in Cebu  in the rice in the pu-so.

 

 




 

How to start your own call center.

How to start your own call center?

First of all, dont get into the call center business if you have never had any experience in the Call Center industry. or dont have anyone that you trust that you can rely on.

So, now you want to start your own center. First, you need to have an account. By account, I mean a campaign or project.

Campaigns are usually classified as 2 types:

1. Inbound

2. Outbound.

It's a lot easier to find outbound campaigns than inbound campaigns. A lot riskier too.

Once you have your campaign, you need your office or center to run the campaign from. You have 2 options to this:

A. Build your center from ground up. Find a suitable office space, rent it. Buy the partitions, tables , computers, chairs , headsets and the various other things that you will need. Apply for the internet connection. ( If you dont know what you need - ask around.)

Setup the office for use.

After that your set to go!

B. Lease you office space requirements.

There are a lot of facilities that offer seat leasing. Basically, it means that you lease the seats ( usually means 1 table/ chair/ pc plus internet connection) from a company that offers those services.

When seat leasing, its very important to keep in mind a couple of things.

1. Noise level in the site ( Too many people doing calls means higher level of noise and makes it harder for you and the person you are talking to, to understand each other.

2. Internet bandwidth available.

3. Office location

4. Availability of places to eat. (especially at night)

What does this mean? Basically, it protects those that have loans from banks of credit cards from from misleading interest rates from our loan providers.
