If you run a restaurant, café, hotel, or any small business with guest WiFi, you already know the problem: customers ask for the password, you write it on a napkin, they can't read your handwriting, and the whole thing wastes everyone's time.
A WiFi QR code solves this completely. Customers scan it with their phone camera — no app needed — and they're connected instantly. No typing, no napkins, no interruptions.
What Is a WiFi QR Code?
A WiFi QR code stores your network name (SSID) and password. When a customer scans it, their phone automatically connects — just like tapping "Connect" on a saved network. It works on all iPhones (iOS 11+) and all modern Android phones, with no special app required.
Why Every Restaurant Should Have One
- Saves time — staff don't need to stop to share the password
- Better experience — guests feel welcomed and taken care of
- Reduces errors — no more wrong passwords typed in frustration
- Looks professional — a printed QR code on your table looks polished
- 100% free to create and use forever
How to Create Your WiFi QR Code — Step by Step
Step 1: Go to QuickQR Generator
Visit QuickQR — Free QR Code Generator. It's completely free, requires no sign-up, and works entirely in your browser. Your WiFi password is never sent to any server.
Step 2: Select the WiFi Tab

Step 3: Enter Your Network Details
| Field | What to Enter |
|---|---|
| Network Name (SSID) | Your WiFi network name (exactly as it appears) |
| Password | Your WiFi password |
| Security Type | WPA/WPA2 (what most routers use) |
Tip: If your WiFi name is hidden (not broadcast), tick the "Hidden network" checkbox.
Step 4: Customise the Design
Change the dot colour to match your brand, add your restaurant's logo in the centre, choose dot shapes (rounded, dots, organic), and pick a colour gradient for a premium look.

- Hotel room welcome card or lobby
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a WiFi QR code safe?
Yes. The password is stored inside the QR code pattern itself — it's the same password you already share with guests. The QR code just makes sharing it convenient.
Does the QR code expire?
No. QuickQR creates static QR codes that never expire. Your WiFi QR code works forever as long as your network password stays the same.
Can I change the colours to match my branding?
Absolutely — and we recommend it. A branded QR code that matches your logo colours looks intentional and professional.
