How to Create a WiFi QR Code for Your Restaurant or Café

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.

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.
