  • Playlists for every daypart

    Lounge & Chill, Dinner Jazz, Morning Boost, Late Night Vibes — pick a playlist that fits the hour and press play.

  • Weekly scheduling

    Assign a playlist to any hour of any day. Breakfast calm, lunch energy, evening wind-down — set once, runs every week.

  • Your own playlists

    Build playlists from the licensed catalogue for the moments that matter — a signature brunch mix, a Friday-night set.

  • Web app, any device

    Nothing to install. Open the dashboard on the laptop behind the bar or the tablet at reception — it just works.

Excellent music for every space

56% of business owners don't know that a personal Spotify or Apple Music subscription isn't licensed for commercial use. Every track in Lobby & Lounge is — so you can stop worrying about licensing and start building your brand sound.

Business types

Built for the places people gather

Whatever your space, there's a soundtrack for it — and a schedule that keeps it right all day.

  • Hotels & lobbies

    Calm, polished sound that welcomes guests at check-in and carries through to late-night arrivals.

  • Cafés & coffee shops

    Bright mornings, mellow afternoons — a rotation that matches the pace of the day.

  • Restaurants

    Set the mood for lunch service and dinner rush without touching a dial mid-shift.

  • Bars & lounges

    Build energy through happy hour and keep it going into the night.

  • Retail

    Music that fits your brand keeps shoppers browsing longer and feeling at home.

  • Spas & wellness

    Low-tempo, unhurried sound that lets guests switch off the moment they walk in.

Sound Meets Brand: licensed music for business

Personal use vs business use

Music from non-commercial streaming services doesn't only attract fines but also hurts your brand's image...

  • Employees playing private music might hurt your brand.
  • LLCs separate personal affairs from business affairs, and the same goes for personal and commercial playlists. Press play on track lists that reflect your business.

Protect your brand. Protect your guests' experience. Play commercially licensed music.
