Connecting Fydelia and SevenRooms for Smarter Restaurant Marketing

Every day, hundreds of hungry guests walk through your restaurant doors, connect to your complimentary guest Wi-Fi, and vanish into thin air. You hand them menus, serve exceptional dishes, and take their payments, yet you leave their digital identity entirely untapped.

How much revenue are you losing simply because your guest Wi-Fi network operates in a silo, completely disconnected from your customer relationship management system?

If you are relying on manual table-side sign-ups or static reservation books to build your marketing lists, you are leaving your most valuable asset to chance. Modern restaurant marketing demands instant data synergy. By connecting your Fydelia captive portal directly with SevenRooms, you instantly turn anonymous walk-ins and loyal regulars into an active, automated profit centre.


Turn Every Wi-Fi Login Into a Live CRM Profile

You already know that guest Wi-Fi is an expected amenity in hospitality. But why treat it as a cost centre when it can become your primary lead-generation engine?

When a customer connects to your venue's wireless network, they encounter a customizable splash page. Instead of asking for a tedious password, your Wi-Fi greets them with a branded, mobile-friendly landing experience. With the Fydelia-SevenRooms integration, every email address, phone number, and marketing consent collected on that splash page is pushed instantly into your SevenRooms CRM.

  • Zero friction: Guests connect in seconds using social login or quick form fields.
  • Auto-verified data: Say goodbye to fake email addresses and typos that ruin your open rates.
  • Real-time profile lookup: Fydelia instantly queries SevenRooms upon connection to check if the guest already exists, ensuring you never duplicate records.

By automating this capture process, you build a high-quality marketing database effortlessly from your daily in-venue foot traffic, freeing your floor staff to focus on hospitality rather than data entry.


Bridge the Gap Between Online Behavior and Dining History

Your guests leave a trail of digital breadcrumbs every time they visit your restaurant. They check in via Wi-Fi, book tables online, order drinks at the bar, and leave reviews. Yet, if your reservation system and your network infrastructure don't speak to each other, you only see half the picture.

Bringing Fydelia and SevenRooms together creates a powerful bi-directional data flow. SevenRooms centralizes your booking history, spend data, and guest preferences, while Fydelia adds real-time in-venue presence, visit duration, and frequency metrics.

Imagine knowing not just that a VIP guest booked a table for Friday night, but that they also visit your lounge every Tuesday afternoon. Armed with this granular insight, you can craft hyper-targeted email and SMS campaigns that speak directly to their actual habits.

  • Segment campaigns based on repeat visit frequency and dwell time.
  • Trigger automated follow-ups the moment a Wi-Fi session ends.
  • Reward your most loyal regulars with personalized perks before they even ask.

Automate Post-Visit and Reactivation Journeys Effortlessly

Timing is everything in restaurant marketing. Send an email too early, and it feels invasive; send it too late, and the guest has already chosen your competitor for their weekend dinner.

By tying your guest Wi-Fi presence to SevenRooms' automated marketing workflows, you put guest retention on autopilot.

  • Instant Thank You: Trigger a personalized message thanking them for dining with you shortly after their Wi-Fi session concludes.
  • Win-Back Campaigns: Identify guests who haven't logged onto your Wi-Fi or booked a table in 30 days, and automatically dispatch an incentive to bring them back through your doors.
  • Special Occasion Outreach: Combine Wi-Fi data points with SevenRooms' reservation history to surprise guests on birthdays and anniversaries.

This level of automation ensures that no customer ever slips through the cracks, transforming occasional diners into lifelong brand advocates.


Delight Guests With Interactive In-Venue Engagement

Data collection doesn't have to feel like an interrogation. Fydelia's advanced feature set allows you to embed digital scratch cards, spin-to-win games, and flash offers directly onto your Wi-Fi splash page.

When guests play a quick game or unlock a special discount while waiting for their table, they are far more likely to happily opt into marketing communications. These engaged profiles flow straight into SevenRooms, tagged by the exact promotion or game they interacted with.

You can then build specialized segments in SevenRooms: such as "digital scratch card winners" or "weekday lunch special responders": and target them with tailored offers that drive sales during your quietest operating hours.


Simple Setup, Zero Heavy Hardware Changes

You might worry that integrating two sophisticated software platforms requires a complex hardware overhaul or a team of engineers. Fortunately, Fydelia is engineered for plug-and-play simplicity.

  • Hardware Agnostic: Fydelia sits seamlessly on top of your existing enterprise Wi-Fi infrastructure, supporting leading access point brands like Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti UniFi, and Ruckus.
  • Straightforward Configuration: Setting up the SevenRooms connection takes just minutes. Simply retrieve your API credentials from SevenRooms, store them securely in Fydelia's password locker, and link your venue group ID to your custom splash page.
  • Full Remote Management: Control splash pages, update branding, and monitor integration health across multiple venue locations from a single cloud dashboard.
