Your Guest Wi-Fi Should Be Growing Your Business. Meet wifi247.

Think about how many people connect to your Wi-Fi every week. The regulars on their lunch break, the family waiting for food, the friends meeting before a match, the person working from your corner table all afternoon. Hundreds of guests, every one of them happy to be in your venue.

And what do you get back for it? Usually nothing. The password is on a chalkboard or the back of the menu, guests connect, and the moment they leave you have no idea who they were or how to invite them back.

That's the problem wifi247 solves.

What is wifi247?

wifi247 is a branded sign-in page for your guest Wi-Fi, built into epos247. Instead of a shared password, guests connect to your open Wi-Fi network and a page with your name, your logo and your colours pops up on their phone. They pop in their name and email, tick the box if they'd like to hear about your offers, and they're online in seconds.

Behind the scenes, something much more useful happens: that guest is added to your customer list in epos247.

What you get

• A customer list that builds itself. Every guest who signs in becomes a customer in your Back Office, marked as coming from Guest Wi-Fi. No clipboards, no business-card bowls, no typing in names at the end of the night.
• Marketing consent done properly. The opt-in box is never pre-ticked, and when a guest does say yes, epos247 records when and where they agreed, so you know exactly who you're allowed to email.
• Birthdays, if they want to share them. Guests can add their birthday for a birthday treat, ready for the birthday emails you send.
• Straight into your email marketing. If you use EmailOctopus with epos247, guests who opt in go straight onto your mailing list, and can get your welcome email the same day they visit.
• Your brand, not ours. Your logo, your colours and a photo of your venue on the sign-in page. To your guests it simply looks like part of your venue.
• No more password on a chalkboard. No more "what's the Wi-Fi?" at the bar, no more password changes when it ends up on a review site.

Why it's different

Wi-Fi marketing tools aren't new. But most of them are separate products: another login, another monthly bill, another list of customers that never talks to your till.

wifi247 is part of epos247. The guest who signs into your Wi-Fi is the same customer who books a table, collects stamps on their Loyalty247 card and buys a round at your bar. One customer list, one place to look after it.

And this is just the start. Because the Wi-Fi and the till already share the same customer list, we're working on showing you which Wi-Fi guests come back, and what they spend when they do.

What you'll need

wifi247 works with TP-Link Omada Wi-Fi access points, a popular, reliable and affordable choice for hospitality venues. If you already have Omada kit, you may be able to use what you've got. If you don't, we can help you choose the right access points for your venue. Support for more Wi-Fi brands will follow.

See it for yourself

Want to see what your guests would see? We've set up a demo for an imaginary pub called The Red Lion. Open the wifi247 demo on your phone and press Connect. Nothing is sent anywhere; it's just there for you to try.

Be one of the first

wifi247 is launching first with a small group of venues, so we can set each one up properly and listen closely to how it's working. If you'd like your guest Wi-Fi to start bringing customers back, we'd love to hear from you.
