Everything you want to know about guest Wi-Fi for your coffee shop. No jargon, no fluff.
90% of customers expect free Wi-Fi at coffee shops. It encourages longer stays, more purchases, and repeat visits.
Customers who log in through a captive portal spend on average 50% more than those who don't.
Wi-Fi isn't a perk anymore. It's a business tool.
It's the login page that pops up when you connect to Wi-Fi at a hotel, airport, or Starbucks. Instead of just handing out a password, a captive portal asks guests to enter their email and accept your terms before they get online. With Barista Wi-Fi, that page is branded with your cafe's logo and look. Simple as that.
Three ways.
Protection: your network is secured and you're legally covered.
Lead capture: every login captures an email you can use for marketing.
Revenue: offer paid premium Wi-Fi and turn a cost into income.
Most shop owners don't realize their Wi-Fi can do all this.
You need a commercial-grade wireless access point (the router your ISP gave you won't cut it for a business). But you probably already have one. We support 40+ brands including UniFi, Meraki, Aruba, Ruckus, TP-Link, and more. If your hardware is compatible, no new purchase needed. If not, we'll ship you a plug-and-play unit.
Yes. Barista Wi-Fi isolates every guest from each other and from your business network. Your POS, computers, and internal systems are on a completely separate network that guests can never touch.
Every login includes Terms & Conditions acceptance, protecting you legally. It's the same approach banks and hospitals use, adapted for coffee shops.
Absolutely. Add your logo, brand colors, background image, and even promote daily specials or loyalty programs on the splash page. Your customers see your brand every single time they connect. It works beautifully on phones, tablets, and laptops.
Every guest who logs in gives you their email. We automatically sync those emails to your CRM (HubSpot, Mailchimp, Omnisend, etc.). From there, you can send promotions, announce events, share loyalty rewards, or run "we miss you" campaigns to bring people back. Your Wi-Fi becomes your marketing engine.
Less than a daily latte. Plans start at $75/month for a single location with every feature included. Two locations are $130/month ($65 each). No setup fees, no contracts, cancel anytime. See full pricing.
Yes. You control upload speeds, download speeds, session time limits, data caps, idle timeouts, and operating hours. You decide exactly how your network works. Set it once and forget it, or adjust anytime from your dashboard.
Perfect. We work with your existing setup. We'll configure your current access points to work with Barista Wi-Fi. Same hardware, new superpowers. Your guests keep getting Wi-Fi, but now it works for your business too.
You can offer two tiers: free basic Wi-Fi for all guests, and premium high-speed Wi-Fi for a small fee (you set the price). Casual browsers use the free tier. Remote workers, students, and power users are happy to pay for faster speeds. Payments are processed through Stripe or PayPal, and revenue goes directly to your account.
