Venues running on CaptiFi
What venues running CaptiFi see
Hundreds of Regulars Walk In. You Can't Reach a Single One.
Without customer emails, you can't promote quiz nights, fill quiet Tuesdays, or announce new craft beers. You're invisible until they happen to walk past.
No Customer Database
Your regulars come every week but you have zero way to reach them between visits. No emails, no database, no marketing.
Empty Quiet Nights
Monday-Wednesday dead? Without a customer list, you can't send flash offers to fill those empty bar stools.
Low Google Reviews
Happy punters rarely leave reviews. Without automated requests, your Google rating doesn't reflect how good your pub actually is.
Everything a Pub Needs to Fill More Seats
From email capture to quiet-night promos - built for publicans who want to grow their business.
Capture Customer Emails
Every punter who connects to WiFi shares their email. Build your database automatically, no forms or QR codes needed.
Automate Google Reviews
Timed review requests after visits. Pubs see 3-5x more Google reviews, boosting local search visibility.
Quiet Night Offers
Send "Happy Hour tonight - 2-for-1 pints" flash offers to local customers. Fill quiet nights in hours.
Event Promotion
Email your whole customer list about quiz nights and match days with one click, then sell the tickets on your own events page.
Birthday Offers
Collect birthdays at WiFi login. Send "Free pint on your birthday" automatically. Birthday punters bring friends.
Analytics Dashboard
See peak hours, busiest days, repeat visit rates, and campaign performance. Click a regular's name for one page with their visits, their spend at the till when Toast or Square is connected, whether you can message them, and a prompt when they have gone quiet.
Loyalty Rewards
Track repeat visitors and reward loyalty automatically. Turn occasional drinkers into committed regulars.
GDPR Compliant
Consent capture, erasure tools and opt-out, built for UK GDPR and PECR.
Sell Tickets for Quiz Nights and Live Music
Put quiz nights and live music on sale from the dashboard that runs your guest WiFi. Guests buy paid tickets or book free places on your own events page, paying by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay straight into your venue's Stripe account. Buyers get their QR tickets by email and are checked in at the door from a phone.
Every buyer joins your guest list with their marketing choice recorded, your next event can show on the WiFi welcome screen in the week before it, and a two-line snippet puts your events on your own website. Events is included on the Growth plan and above. Free tickets cost nothing; paid tickets carry a booking fee that includes card processing.
