Turn your guest WiFi into a marketing channel
Let customers connect in seconds by phone while you meet logging obligations and gain an opt-in contact list plus real customer insights.
The 3 WiFi headaches for cafes and restaurants
Captivo solves all three.
Open WiFi = legal risk
An unsecured or unlogged guest network is a liability under connection-logging regulations. When you don't know who connected, the responsibility falls on the business.
You don't know your customers
Hundreds connect to your WiFi daily, yet you're left with not a single contact or insight.
Questions that tie up tables
"What's the WiFi password?" and QR clutter on the menu wear down the customer experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my cafe need to comply with logging law?
If you offer internet to customers, yes. Regulations require connection records to be kept and retained. Captivo keeps these records automatically, so you meet the legal obligation effortlessly.
Is it legal to collect customer data?
Yes, with explicit consent. The Captivo portal presents a compliant consent checkbox; when the customer agrees, their phone number is added to your opt-in marketing list. Those who don't consent can still connect.
Do I need technical knowledge to set it up?
No. You design the portal from the panel; integration with your pfSense or OPNsense firewall takes a few steps. Most businesses go live the same day.
