Schlotzsky's Delis require new franchises to install free Wi-Fi: This story covers much old ground (and misstates T-Mobile monthly hotspot fee as $40 when it's $20, $30, or $40), but it does note that Schlotzsky's has extended free Wi-Fi to 40 stores. Initially, they had it in just 10 corporate-owned stores. Also, new franchises are required to roll out free computer access.
Schlotzsky's approach combines computers in the stores available for free use and free Wi-Fi. The Schlotzsky's folks continue to cite a very small study they did several months ago: She said a survey of Schlotzsky's patrons indicated that six percent visited primarily for the Wi-Fi access. (It's actually that they visited for computer or Wi-Fi use, not just the free Wi-Fi.)
