Millions of visits a year. Know who is behind them.
Guest WiFi that turns a five-minute visit into a consented guest record, puts your app one tap away and sends both to the CRM and loyalty platform you already run. Kiosks, EPOS and your crew stay on their own networks. One platform across every restaurant, on the access points you already own.
- One-tap sign-in built for short visits
- App downloads from every WiFi sign-in
- xPSK for kiosks, EPOS and kitchen screens
- Crew sign-in with Entra ID, Okta or Google

Your restaurants see more people than most websites. Almost none of them leave a name.
A quick-service estate serves millions of guests a year, but only the ones who order in the app are known to you. Everyone at the counter, the kiosk or the table pays and leaves anonymously, and the WiFi they connect to is often the hardest part of the restaurant for IT to support. That gap shows up in four places.
A typical QSR estate today
- Free WiFi that costs money to run and returns nothing to marketing
- An app the brand depends on, promoted on a poster nobody reads
- Kiosks, EPOS and kitchen screens sharing a network with guest phones
- Engineers sent out to restaurants to fix WiFi problems
With Purple
- A one-tap branded sign-in that sends consented guest data to your CRM
- An app download offer on the screen every guest is already holding
- Every device on its own key and VLAN, away from guests
- Cloud-managed across the estate, so problems are fixed remotely, not on site
Every guest, every device and every crew member, each on the right network
Guests in the queue, app members in the parking lot, the kiosks that take the order and the crew who make it. Four networks that usually mean four suppliers, run from one dashboard across the estate.
Turn visits into guest records
One-tap or social sign-in, consent captured once, and the profile sent to your CRM through 400+ data connectors.
02 · App and loyaltyGrow the app from the queue
Promote app downloads at sign-in and connect WiFi visits to your loyalty programme, as McDonald's Australia did with MyMacca's.
03 · Kiosks and EPOSA private key for every kiosk
xPSK puts self-order kiosks, EPOS, kitchen screens and digital menu boards on their own keys and VLANs.
04 · CrewCrew sign in with their work account
Managers and crew connect with Entra ID, Okta or Google. Leavers lose access the day their account is disabled.
Make a five-minute visit count
Quick-service guests do not stay long enough to fill in a form, so the sign-in has to take one tap. Purple gives them a branded page in your look, with OneClick and social login, consent captured in the same step and rules that change the message by restaurant, language or campaign. McDonald's Belgium runs it across 80 restaurants and has collected 2.5 million unique visitor records from 8 million visits.
- OneClick, email and social sign-in with CCPA/CPRA consent and a full audit trail
- Language-specific splash pages and promotions by restaurant, set with LogicFlow rules
- Guest data sent to Braze, HubSpot, Airship, Iterable and Bloomreach through 400+ data connectors
- Visits, repeat visits and dwell time for every restaurant, compared across the estate
Guest dataSupercharge your mobile app from the moment of physical visit
Your app is where the best guests order, collect points and come back. The WiFi sign-in reaches the guests who have not downloaded it yet, at the moment they are standing in your restaurant with a phone in their hand. Promote the download on the splash page, then connect WiFi visits to your loyalty data so marketing can see who visits, where and how often.
- McDonald's Belgium saw a sharp increase in app downloads after adding app campaigns to its splash pages
- McDonald's Australia connected Purple to its MyMacca's loyalty scheme through a custom two-way API and grew loyalty sign-ups
- Panos put its iOS and Android app in front of guests 24,262 times in 12 months from the WiFi sign-in
- Reach lapsed app members with a reason to return, through the marketing platform you already use
App growthKeep the kiosks and tills away from the queue
Self-order kiosks, EPOS terminals, kitchen display screens, digital menu boards and order-ready screens cannot sign in with a username and password. On one shared network they also sit next to every guest phone in the restaurant. xPSK gives each device its own key and its own VLAN, so a leaked key affects one device, not the whole restaurant.
- Guest traffic kept apart from payment kit, the network segmentation PCI DSS scoping relies on
- Revoke a single key without re-keying every device on site
- Works under your vendor's name: iPSK on Cisco, DPSK on Ruckus, MPSK on HPE Aruba and Juniper Mist, PPSK on Extreme and UniFi
- No per-device license and no cap on devices per key
xPSKStaff WiFi that keeps up with crew turnover
Quick-service teams change constantly, and a shared staff password outlives every one of them. Purple lets managers and crew connect with the account they already use, synced from Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace over SCIM, so access starts and ends with employment. It runs on cloud RADIUS, so there is nothing to install in the restaurant.
- Leavers are revoked automatically when their account is disabled
- Personal phones onboarded in about 60 seconds with the Purple app
- Restaurant managers, crew and visiting engineers on separate VLANs with their own rules
- Cloud RADIUS with a 99.9% uptime SLA and no on-premise server
After moving to Purple, McDonald's Belgium cut WiFi-related on-site visits from IT engineers by 90%.

Quick-service restaurant WiFi questions, answered
What marketing, digital and IT teams at QSR brands ask us most
Will guests actually sign in during a short visit?
Yes, if the sign-in takes one tap. Purple offers OneClick and social login with consent in the same step. McDonald's Belgium collected 2.5 million unique visitor records from 8 million visits across 80 restaurants.
Can the WiFi help grow our app?
Yes. You can promote your iOS and Android app on the splash page every guest sees. McDonald's Belgium saw a sharp increase in app downloads, and McDonald's Australia connected Purple to its MyMacca's loyalty scheme through a two-way API.
How do you keep guests away from kiosks and payment terminals?
Guests sign in to their own network, and each kiosk, EPOS terminal and kitchen screen gets its own key and VLAN through xPSK. That keeps guest traffic apart from payment kit, the network segmentation PCI DSS scoping relies on.
Can we run different messages in different restaurants and languages?
Yes. LogicFlow rules change the splash page and promotion by restaurant, region or language. McDonald's Belgium uses it for language-specific promotions and app download campaigns.
Do we need to replace our access points?
No. Purple runs on the access points already in your restaurants, including Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Juniper Mist, Ubiquiti UniFi, Cambium, Extreme and Fortinet. There is no on-premise server to install.
How do we manage WiFi across hundreds of restaurants?
From one cloud dashboard. Splash pages, rules and networks are set centrally and applied by restaurant or region, so most issues are fixed remotely. McDonald's Belgium cut WiFi-related on-site IT visits by 90%.
Is the guest data CCPA/CPRA compliant?
Yes. Every sign-in records consent with a full audit trail. Purple is ISO 27001 certified, CCPA/CPRA compliant, and has had zero data breaches since 2012.
