Questions restaurant owners ask us

Straight answers. If something isn't covered here, just ask.

What is restaurant WiFi marketing?
Restaurant WiFi marketing turns the free WiFi you offer diners into a customer-acquisition channel. When a customer connects, a branded splash page collects their email in exchange for internet access. You build a real customer email list and use it to send specials, event invites, and loyalty offers that bring diners back more often.
How does it help fill tables on slow nights?
Once you've built an email list from your WiFi, you can email your regulars about happy hours, midweek specials, new menu items, and events. A single campaign to a few hundred past diners can fill an otherwise quiet Tuesday — at a fraction of the cost of paid ads.
Do I need new hardware or an IT person?
You need a standard WiFi access point — an off-the-shelf device that works alongside your existing router. There's no proprietary appliance like StayFi requires, and no technician needed: our team configures the access point and your splash page for you, free. We can even ship one pre-configured so you just plug it in.
Is the guest WiFi secure for my customers?
Yes. Diners connect to an isolated guest network with client isolation, so guest devices are isolated from your private network. The captive portal sits in front of internet access, giving every customer a clean, secure session for the time window you set — without exposing your point-of-sale or back-office network.
Can I match the splash page to my restaurant's brand?
Absolutely. Use the drag-and-drop builder to add your logo, colors, a background photo of your space or dishes, and a welcome message. You can also build a HomePage diners land on after connecting — link your menu, reservations, reviews, and social profiles.
Is collecting diner emails over WiFi legal?
Yes, with consent. Every splash page includes a configurable consent checkbox and records the consent text, timestamp, and IP. Campaigns include one-click unsubscribe. You control what permission diners agree to, keeping you aligned with GDPR and CAN-SPAM.
How much does restaurant WiFi marketing cost?
$15 per access point per month with all features included — branded splash page, customer database, and email campaigns. Most single-location restaurants need just one access point. Cancel anytime.
