Wi-Fi QR codes for bars

A Wi-Fi QR code lets bar guests join your guest network by scanning a counter card — no bartender shouting a password over the music. It’s especially handy on quiz and games nights when everyone needs to be online to play along. Enter your network name and password below for a free code; details are encoded in your browser and never uploaded.

In a loud bar, reading out a Wi-Fi password is a non-starter — nobody hears it, and the bartender repeats it ten times a night. A Wi-Fi QR code fixes that: the scan carries the SSID, security type and password, and the phone shows a one-tap “Join”. On quiz nights it’s a quiet enabler — teams get online to use the answer app or your scoring page without ever bothering the bar.

Guest network only

Keep the till off the guest network

Put guests on a separate guest SSID so their devices can never reach your card terminal or EPOS. Switch on the guest network in your router settings before printing the code.

Where the code goes

  • A counter card at the bar — caught while guests wait for a round.
  • On the table card — next to your drinks menu code, so one card does menu and Wi-Fi.
  • By the quiz-night setup — print it on the answer sheets so teams get connected fast.

Make your bar Wi-Fi code

From network details to a printed counter card:

  1. 1

    Enter the guest SSID

    Type the network name exactly, capitals included.

  2. 2

    Choose WPA security

    WPA covers WPA/WPA2/WPA3 on virtually every router.

  3. 3

    Type the password

    Special characters are escaped automatically so the code is valid.

  4. 4

    Download and print

    SVG or PDF for crisp counter and table cards — no watermark.

Rotate the password after big nights

Because regenerating is free, change the guest password periodically and reprint — useful after a busy event when the old one has spread widely.

Yes — completely free, no watermark, no sign-up. It’s open source and runs in your browser.
