Venues running on CaptiFi
What venues running CaptiFi see
CaptiFi venue data, April to September 2026
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
Guests who opt in are asked to rate their visit, at most once every 90 days per venue. A good rating sends them on to your Google page.
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 built-in
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.

CaptiFi has setup guides for 9 WiFi ecosystems. There's nothing to rip out: connect the access points you already have and you're live.
+ Cisco Catalyst
9 with setup guides
UniFi, Ubiquiti, Omada, TP-Link, Meraki, Cisco, Aruba, Instant On, HPE, MikroTik, RouterOS, RUCKUS, Fortinet, FortiGate, FortiAP and DrayTek are trade marks of their respective owners. CaptiFi is an independent guest WiFi platform that runs as an external captive portal on these vendors' access points and controllers. It is not made, certified, sponsored or endorsed by any of them, and vendor names appear here only to show compatibility. Setup guides describe each vendor's own configuration screens; where they differ, the vendor's documentation is the authority.

Frequently asked questions
When customers connect to your pub WiFi, CaptiFi shows a branded splash page that captures their email. You can then send automated offers, review requests, and quiet-night promotions, all on autopilot.
Yes. Build a customer database through WiFi capture, then send targeted flash offers. Pub owners report filling empty evenings with a same-day 2pm promotion.
Yes. Guests who agree to marketing are asked to rate their visit 24 hours later by default, at most once every 90 days per venue, and a rating at or above your minimum sends them on to your Google review page. Review requests are included on the Essentials plan and above.
Essentials, with the WiFi device included (refundable deposit), is £49/month (£39/mo on annual), and every integration is included from the Growth plan up. No setup fees.
CaptiFi is built to support compliance: marketing consent is asked separately from getting online and recorded for each guest, every marketing email carries an unsubscribe link, and Delete (GDPR) and Anonymise (GDPR) handle erasure requests. Your pub is the data controller, so compliance itself stays with you.
Live in about 5 minutes with the CaptiFi device, under an hour on your own controller. Plug in the included device or connect your controller, brand your splash page, and start capturing customer emails.
