Changed your Wi-Fi password? This printed code can't follow.
A Wi-Fi QR code carries the password itself, so a new password means a new print. For everything else guests need, add a second QR code that opens a hosted guest page on StaticFast: house rules, the menu, check-out times, the current Wi-Fi details. Update the page any time and the printed code keeps working.

- Print at actual size / 100%. Scaling shrinks the quiet zone around the code.
- Matte paper or lamination scans better than glossy under bright lights.
- Test the print with your own phone before you hang it. Older phones may need the typed password.
Fifty times a day, with a smile
Ask anyone who has worked a café counter what they say most and it is not "oat or regular". It is the Wi-Fi password, spelt out letter by letter over the grinder, to a customer holding a phone that could have read it in a second. A Wi-Fi QR code sign gives that second back to your staff. Customers point their camera at it, tap "Join", and the queue keeps moving.
The Café template is warm cream paper with a coloured band and the heading "Free Wi-Fi for customers". Change the band to your brand colour, drop in your logo, and the sign looks like it came from the same designer as your menu. A4 or Letter for the counter and the wall; the business-card sheet for ten wallet-size cards to hand over with the receipt; the table tent for the tables.
Make it scannable from where people stand
A QR code scans comfortably from about ten times its own width, so a 7 cm code reads from the far side of a counter. Keep the sign at eye level, out of direct glare, and leave the white border intact when you laminate it; the border is part of the code. Print at 100% scale rather than "fit to page" so the dimensions stay what the preview shows.
If your password is long, the code gets dense and the squares get small. It will still scan from a wall sign, but for cards and table tents a password under about twenty characters scans faster. The maker warns you when a code is dense.
Nothing about your network goes anywhere
Your venue's Wi-Fi password should not be in a stranger's database just because you wanted a sign. This tool builds the QR code, the preview and the PDF in your browser; the page never sends your details to a server. Watch the network tab in your browser while you type if you want proof.
One code for the Wi-Fi, one for everything else
The Wi-Fi code only changes when the password does. Your menu, your specials and your opening hours change far more often. Host those as a PDF on StaticFast, print its permanent QR code beside this one, and swap the file whenever the kitchen changes its mind. The sign on the wall stays exactly where it is.
Frequently asked questions
Where do restaurants usually put the Wi-Fi QR code?
At the counter where people queue, on the menu board, and on each table. The counter sign is the one that saves your staff the most repeated answers; the table version is the one guests actually use once they sit down.
Should I print the password as text as well?
Yes, for a public venue. Some guests have older phones, some are wearing gloves, some just prefer to type. The sign prints the network name and password under the code by default; turn it off only for a private dining room.
Does the sign survive a restaurant environment?
Print on heavier paper and laminate it, or slide it into an acrylic menu holder. Matte finishes scan better than glossy under spotlights. If the laminate gets scratched, printing another costs nothing.
What about my menu and opening hours?
A Wi-Fi code has to contain the password, so it only changes when the password changes. For the menu, specials and hours, host a PDF on StaticFast and print its permanent QR code next to the Wi-Fi one; update the file whenever you like and the printed code still works.
