Hospitality and rentals
- Short-term rentals: frame a “Scan to join Wi‑Fi” card by the door and on the fridge.
- Hotels/hostels: put a QR on keycard sleeves and lobby stands; rotate guest SSID weekly.
- Vacation villas: table tent by the TV and kitchen counter; include a text fallback.
Food and beverage
- Cafes: place a matte table tent at each table; avoid glossy lamination.
- Restaurants: add a small QR on the menu footer with “Scan to join guest Wi‑Fi.”
- Bars/breweries: post near the bar and outdoor seating; use high-contrast colors.
Events and venues
- Conferences: signage at registration and session entrances; rotate per day.
- Weddings: include a Wi‑Fi QR on the program or welcome board.
- Workshops: print on easels by the stage; keep a text fallback on slides.
Offices and coworking
- Front desk: display a QR for visitor VLANs; rotate weekly.
- Meeting rooms: small wall card near the display; avoid reflective glass frames.
- Hot desks: desk placards with SSID/password and QR; remove old versions when rotating.
Healthcare and services
- Clinics: waiting-room placard; keep away from reflective acrylic.
- Salons/spas: framed QR at reception and lounge tables.
- Auto shops: QR at the counter and waiting area; add a “Last updated” date.
Education and libraries
- Campus events: event-specific SSID with a QR on posters; expire after the event.
- Libraries: study area table tents; clear margins and matte stock.
- Classrooms: teacher-only SSID hidden; student guest SSID with QR on the door.
Template tips for printing
- Export at 800–1200 px or SVG; keep a 4–6 module quiet zone.
- Add a short caption (“Scan to join guest Wi‑Fi”) and optional “Last updated” date.
- Use matte cardstock to avoid glare; keep the QR flat and uncreased.
Quick troubleshooting
- If scans fail, increase contrast and margin, and re-export at a larger size.
- Test with one iOS and one Android device in the actual lighting.
- Use a guest SSID so you can rotate passwords without affecting your main network.
