[DRAFT] 1100+ Five-star Reviews at Simmons Family Restaurants

The Challenge: One Dashboard for all locations

In early 2025, Lauren Vollert, the marketing manager for Simmons Family Restaurants, contacted Social WiFi wanting a single way to gather guest data and market to visitors across the group's multiple restaurants, rather than managing each venue separately.

After comparing options, the group found Social WiFi's per-venue pricing model a good fit for a multi-location, family-run business. The ability to manage all restaurants from one Dashboard made the usually complicated process much more convenient.

Simmons Family Restaurants wanted to achieve the following objectives:

Set up guest WiFi with unified data collection across every location
Turn one-time tourist visits into a marketing list the group could reach again
Grow the volume of online reviews across each restaurant's listing

The Solution: WiFi marketing across every venue

Social WiFi's team worked through the rollout across each of the group's locations, implementing venue-specific branding within a unified guest login process.

Implementing the solution also allowed Simmons Family Restaurants to upgrade their WiFi hardware - they decided to choose UniFi equipment, which the Social WiFi team is very familiar with as it is responsible for nearly half of our setups, and it combines perfectly with the Captive Portal.

The login itself was kept simple and convenient - guests could get online in seconds by filling in a quick login form.

If a guest consented to data processing, Social WiFi stored their information in a marketing database covering every location, allowing the Simmons family to easily identify guests and reach out to them - in full compliance with CCPA data protection requirements.

Social WiFi's review system was enabled as well, automating review requests so each location could build up its Google rating without extra work from staff and manage feedback from guests easily.
