Wi-Fi QR codes for restaurants

A Wi-Fi QR code lets diners join your restaurant’s guest network by scanning a table card — no waiter dictating a password over the noise, no mistyped login. Useful for families waiting on food, solo diners and anyone checking in their visit. Enter your network name and password below and download a free code; your details are encoded in your browser and never uploaded.

In a restaurant the Wi-Fi password is a small but real friction point: it gets read out wrong, scribbled on a chalkboard nobody can see from table nine, or asked for three times during service. A Wi-Fi QR code ends that. The scan carries the SSID, security type and password, and the phone offers a one-tap “Join” — freeing your floor staff to serve food instead of spelling out passwords.

Always share a guest network

Keep the card terminal off the guest SSID

Put diners on a separate guest network so their phones can never reach your EPOS, card terminal or back-office PC. Nearly every router exposes a guest SSID toggle — switch it on before you print the code.

Where the code goes

  • On the table card or tent — alongside your menu code, so one card handles menu and Wi-Fi.
  • By the waiting area or bar — for guests holding for a table.
  • A framed card on the wall — durable and spill-proof in a busy dining room.

Make your restaurant Wi-Fi code

From network details to a printed table 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 modern 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 table cards — no watermark.

Rotate the guest password each season

Because regenerating is free, change the guest password every few months and reprint — handy once the old one has been shared too widely.

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