Run one of these cafes?
Your guests already use the WiFi. A branded sign in page on TP-Link Omada or Ubiquiti UniFi lets the ones who agree join your email list, and gives every guest the same link to your Google reviews. If you already run either brand, there is no new hardware to buy.

Questions
How many cafes have WiFi in Chicago?
220 on the OpenStreetMap snapshot taken September 15, 2026: 85 tagged with internet access and 135 chain locations listed on the brand's published WiFi policy. 20 are explicitly marked free and 80 list opening hours.
Can I work from a cafe in Chicago?
For an hour or two, usually. Buy something, stay clear of the lunch rush, and take a small table rather than one for four. 20 of the 220 cafes in Chicago are marked free in OpenStreetMap, so start with those. 80 list their opening hours. For a longer session, the Chicago map also lists 106 libraries and 5 coworking spaces.
Is public WiFi in Chicago safe to use?
A cafe network is shared with everyone at the other tables. Confirm the network name with staff before you join, because a look alike network name is a common trick. Stick to sites that load over HTTPS, and use a VPN for banking or work systems.
My business is in Chicago and not listed. What do I do?
Add it to OpenStreetMap with internet_access=wlan (and internet_access:fee=no if your WiFi is free). It appears here the next time we refresh the Chicago snapshot. If you run TP-Link Omada or Ubiquiti UniFi, the form on this page also starts a free sign in page for your guests.
