Control Staff, Guest & Contractor Access – Without the Key Chaos

Bars, pubs, clubs, hotels and restaurants have constant movement – staff changes, casuals, contractors and suppliers. UniFi Access gives you clear control over who can get where, and when.

No More Lost Keys or Shared Codes

Staff leave, roles change, contractors come and go. Swap keys and shared PINs for individual cards or mobile credentials you can revoke in seconds.

Per-person credentials – not shared keys
Easy to issue and revoke access
Less risk when staff move on

Protect Bottle Stores, Safes & Staff Areas

Restrict access to areas like bottle shops, keg rooms, safes, stock rooms and back-of-house corridors based on role and time of day.

Separate FOH and BOH access
Limit access to high-value areas
Schedule access by shift patterns

Improve Staff & Guest Safety

Ensure only the right people can access back corridors, staff rooms, plant rooms, rooftops and carpark doors – especially after hours.

Secure staff-only routes
Better control of after-hours access

Secure VLANs for access & CCTV
QoS for POS and business systems

Guest/staff SSIDs and policies

UniFi Access for Hospitality – Common Questions

A few of the questions we hear most from WA hospitality venues moving away from keys and old-school access systems.

Can UniFi Access replace our existing door access system?

In most cases, yes. We design a UniFi Access solution around your existing doors, locks and site layout, replacing controllers and readers where needed and aligning credentials with your HR and venue processes.

Are there ongoing licence fees for UniFi Access?

No. UniFi Access does not charge per-door licence fees in the same way many traditional access systems do. Your main costs are the hardware and our design, installation and optional ongoing support.

What happens if our internet goes down during trade?

Doors continue to operate using the local UniFi Access controller. You may temporarily lose cloud-based visibility or remote management, but on-site access rules continue to function.

Can we give different access to managers, staff and contractors?

Yes. We design access profiles for each role type – managers, duty managers, bar staff, kitchen, housekeeping, security, bottle shop, contractors and more – with different doors and times per group.

Can we link door events with our UniFi CCTV cameras?

Yes. When we deploy UniFi Access together with UniFi Protect, we can align door events with camera views so you can quickly pull footage of who used a door at a particular time.
