Hotels, Restaurants & Venues
Guests and diners expect seamless mobile connectivity as standard. Poor signal affects guest satisfaction scores, card payment systems and digital services. Zonegen delivers reliable in-building signal across hotels, restaurants, pubs and entertainment venues.

Do signal boosters work in hotels, restaurants and venues?
Yes — Zonegen installs Nextivity Cel-Fi systems that give guests and staff reliable signal on every network. Restaurants, bars and boutique hotels often suit a single Cel-Fi GO G43 (from £5,995, all three networks). Larger hotels use a Cel-Fi QUATRA 4000e across guest floors, function rooms and basements, quoted after survey.
The problem
Why is mobile signal poor in hotels, restaurants and venues?
Guests on every network
International and UK guests use every network, so hospitality needs all three boosted, not just one.
Basement kitchens, bars and function rooms
Back-of-house and event spaces are often below ground where signal cannot reach.
Payment terminals and booking apps
SIM-based card machines and mobile POS stall in dead zones, slowing service and costing sales.
Thick walls in older buildings
Period hotels and pubs have solid walls that block signal room to room.

FAQs
Questions about signal boosters for hotels, restaurants and venues
Will guests notice the booster equipment?
Very little. Coverage units are compact and positioned discreetly, with cable routes planned at survey to suit the interior.
Can installation fit around our opening hours?
Yes. Scheduling, including any out-of-hours work, is agreed with you at the consultation and survey stage so service is not disrupted.
Will it help our card machines?
Yes. Card terminals and mobile POS that use a mobile SIM on a boosted network get the same improved signal as phones.
How much does a hotel or restaurant signal booster cost?
A Cel-Fi GO G43 covering all three networks starts from £5,995 — often enough for a restaurant or bar. Hotel-wide QUATRA systems are quoted after survey, and the survey cost is refunded if you go ahead.
Does better signal really affect guest reviews?
Poor signal is a frequent guest complaint, especially for business travellers. Reliable coverage removes that friction for guests and helps staff work faster.
