Music is one of the most powerful tools a restaurant owner has — yet it's one of the most overlooked. Studies show that the right background music increases average check size by up to 10%, extends guest dwell time by 15–20 minutes, and directly affects how customers rate their dining experience. But playing Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube in your restaurant is illegal for commercial use and can result in fines from ASCAP, BMI, or PRS.
Moodby solves this with a fully licensed music streaming service built specifically for restaurants. Every playlist is cleared for public performance across all major licensing territories — meaning you get the music, the atmosphere, and the legal protection, all in one subscription.
Whether you run a fine dining establishment, a busy bistro, a family trattoria, or a rooftop wine bar — Moodby has playlists curated for your exact vibe. Our music experts regularly update stations so your guests never hear the same loop twice.
