Storefront Pulse

A white-label version of the same idea for indie cafés, co-working spaces and small hotels that want to know their guest Wi-Fi is healthy without hiring IT.

Target user

café, co-working and small B&B operators offering guest Wi-Fi who lose footfall when it goes down

Features
  • Guest-facing status page ('Wi-Fi is good right now') so customers stop asking staff
  • Daily WAN health summary delivered to the owner's WhatsApp with plain-English action items
  • Multi-site dashboard for owners with 2-5 locations
  • Quiet ISP-issue detection so the owner can chase the provider with proof before customers complain
Why now

The same self-hosted monitoring concept that's earning 200 stars on GitHub is exactly what thousands of cafés and co-working spaces pay £20-50/mo for in commercial-grade tools like Guest Wi-Fi analytics — and most can't afford those.
