Venue WiFi

Guest WiFi for Restaurants,
Cafés, Malls & Co-working

Customer WiFi with OTP or voucher login, a time and speed limit per customer, your billing and staff systems kept separate, and a record of every session - managed from the cloud, one outlet or fifty.

The password on the menu card

Most cafés and restaurants start with a home router and a password printed on the menu. It works until it does not: the password is shared on a review site, a customer at the corner table streams for three hours, the card machine sits on the same network as everyone’s phones, and when someone asks who was online on a given evening there is no answer.

A managed guest network fixes all four. Customers log in through a branded captive portal with a one-time password to their mobile or a PIN printed on the bill. Each login gets its own time and speed limit. The customer network is walled off from your POS, CCTV and staff devices. And every session is recorded against a verified number, the way public WiFi in India is expected to be logged.

Where it is used

One platform, set up differently for each kind of venue.

☕

Cafés and restaurants

OTP or bill-PIN login with an hour or two per customer, so tables turn over and the connection stays quick for the card machine and the delivery tablets.

🛍️

Malls and retail

Open WiFi for shoppers with a verified mobile number per session, a daily allowance and a cap per device - and the tenants' and security networks kept separate.

💼

Co-working spaces

Personal logins for members with their own speed and data, day passes on printed vouchers for walk-ins, and a meeting-room network that guests cannot see into.

🏟️

Banquets and event venues

Batches of vouchers printed for a wedding or a conference, valid for the event only, with the bandwidth shared fairly across a few hundred phones.

🏥

Clinics and waiting rooms

Visitor WiFi with a time limit, kept entirely apart from the clinic's own systems. Larger hospitals: see our hospital and campus page.

🚌

Travel and transit

Lounges, bus terminals and tourist sites with many short visits, where a one-time password and a short session are the whole requirement.

Hostels, PGs, colleges and hospitals need personal logins for residents rather than short customer sessions; see WiFi for hostels, PGs and campuses.

What is installed

A MikroTik RouterOS router and access points sized to the floor, with two internet lines and automatic failover where the venue depends on online orders or card payments. The router connects to the iberry cloud over an encrypted tunnel; the login page, authentication and records run there, so there is no server on the premises. In Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula and Zirakpur our engineers install it; elsewhere in India and abroad it is managed remotely, with a local electrician fitting the hardware to our plan. Published plans start at ₹30,000 one-time with ₹15,000 yearly maintenance - see pricing.

Frequently asked questions

How do customers log in to restaurant or café WiFi?

Usually with a one-time password sent to their mobile number, which takes a few seconds and identifies who was online. Alternatives are a PIN printed on the bill or a QR voucher card at the counter. Each login can carry its own time limit, so a customer gets, say, an hour rather than the whole day.

Can I stop one customer using all the bandwidth?

Yes. Every login has its own download and upload speed cap and, if you want, a data cap and a time limit. Streaming at one table no longer slows down the card machine or the online order tablet.

Is customer WiFi kept apart from our billing system?

Yes. Customer WiFi runs on its own network, isolated from the POS, the billing computers, CCTV and staff devices, and customers' devices are isolated from each other as well. That separation is the main thing a shared-password router does not give you.

Do cafés in India need to keep WiFi logs?

A business offering public WiFi is expected to be able to say who was online. OTP login records the verified mobile number with each session, together with the device, times and data used, and the records are kept for the property. Our WiFi log compliance page explains the DoT and CERT-In rules; for your own obligations, speak to your lawyer.

Can one dashboard run several outlets?

Yes. Each outlet's router connects to the iberry cloud, and the outlets are managed from one place, each with its own login page, limits and records. Adding an outlet does not mean adding a server.

Running more than one outlet?
