Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube are licensed for personal use only. Playing them in your business isn't covered and can put you at risk. SoftWork Beats is licensed specifically for public, commercial playback in spaces like yours.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a license to play music in a café?
Playing music publicly in a café generally requires a public performance license, and cafés are commonly contacted by performance-rights organizations. Playing SoftWork Beats through our app includes that license for your place of business.
Can I run it from behind the counter?
Yes. It plays from any phone, tablet, or computer into your existing speakers, and the daily schedule can start and stop it with your opening hours.
Will it suit both the morning rush and the evening?
Yes. Lo-Fi Jazz and Acoustic Mornings suit the morning; Chill Electronic sits well later on. Switch any time, or use the daily schedule to change it automatically.
