FAQ
Most grocery stores and supermarkets play upbeat, familiar pop and feel-good tracks at a moderate tempo — genres that keep shoppers relaxed and in a positive mood without being distracting. Moodby's grocery-specific stations are curated to balance energy, familiarity, and pace across different store sections and times of day.
Yes, significantly. Decades of retail psychology research show that background music tempo influences shopping pace — slower music correlates with longer visits and higher basket sizes, while faster tempos suit checkout areas and high-traffic periods. Genre also affects perceived product quality and brand perception. Moodby's grocery stations are built with these dynamics in mind.
Yes. Playing music in a commercial grocery store or supermarket constitutes public performance under copyright law, requiring licences from collecting societies such as PRS for Music and PPL in the UK, or ASCAP and BMI in the US. Moodby covers all required licensing within every subscription — no separate applications or annual renewals.
Royalty-free music removes per-play royalty fees but does not automatically grant public performance rights. To play any music commercially in a grocery store — including royalty-free tracks — you still need a public performance licence. Moodby's subscription covers both: a curated catalogue and full commercial licensing in one package.
Yes. Moodby's scheduling tool lets you automate different playlists for morning peak footfall, midday browsing, and quieter afternoon hours — all running automatically without staff needing to change anything manually during the trading day.
Each location needs its own stream, but all are managed from one Moodby account. There are no separate licence applications per store — add a zone for each location and the licensing coverage applies automatically. Multi-site grocery operators and supermarket chains can access volume pricing through Moodby's enterprise plan.
Yes. Moodby's zone control lets you manage the shop floor, fresh produce area, deli and bakery counter, and checkout zone independently — each with its own playlist, volume, and schedule — all from one account on any device.
Yes — Moodby offers a free trial with no credit card required. You get full access to the platform and the complete station catalogue to test across your store before committing to a subscription.

Why background music is a business tool for food retailers
What the research says — and what it means for your store
Built for grocery retail, scaled for any size
We built Moodby because grocery store owners and supermarket operators told us the same thing, repeatedly: they knew music mattered in their stores, but the existing solutions were either too expensive, too complicated, or simply not designed for food retail environments. Managing separate PRS and PPL licences, sourcing playlists that felt appropriate for a produce aisle versus a deli counter, keeping the checkout area sounding inviting during the busiest queue of the day — none of it was being solved well. So we built something that solves all of it.
The relationship between background music and shopper behaviour in food retail is one of the most studied areas in retail psychology. Slower tempos increase time spent in-store and correlate with higher basket sizes. Familiar, positive music improves customer mood and perceived product quality. Genre and volume affect how shoppers navigate different sections — from the relaxed pace of a bakery area to the efficiency-driven rhythm of a checkout queue. Moodby's grocery store stations are curated with these dynamics in mind: matched to zone, time of day, and the natural flow of a shopping visit.
Whether you run a single independent convenience store or a regional supermarket chain with dozens of locations, Moodby delivers the same quality of curated, fully licensed background music — without the complexity. Every track is cleared for commercial public performance, covering PRS, PPL, ASCAP, BMI, and equivalent collecting societies worldwide. Licensing updates automatically. Playlists refresh weekly. Zone control runs from any device. And unlike managing licences directly with collecting societies, there is nothing to renew, renegotiate, or chase.
A grocery store's sonic identity is as much a part of the shopping experience as its layout, lighting, and range. Moodby gives food retailers the tools to own that identity — from the entrance to the checkout, and every aisle in between.
