Slower, warmer. People stay for dessert.

Built for a room full of customers

  • ✓No explicit lyrics, ever.
  • ✓No ads, no DJ talk, no song cut off mid-chorus.
  • ✓Playlists refreshed so regulars don't hear Tuesday's set again on Thursday.
  • ✓Runs on the phone or tablet you already have, or Sonos, through every speaker in the venue from one login.

Your staff never think about it

Nobody's phone on the aux cable. Nobody's playlist with the one song you hate. Nobody asking what to put on at 4 pm. Set it once; the music follows the day. Plus adds voice announcements between tracks: specials, last orders, happy hour.

Licensed music. Under half the price.

License included

Melodial owns its catalog and none of it is registered with ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR, so your subscription is the license for everything you play through Melodial. Your Music License Certificate downloads the day you subscribe. Music from other sources still needs their licenses.

“Great service, great pricing, so easy to join, and a wide range of music. Couldn't ask for more for our restaurant.”
Taline T.
“Melodial has a fantastic selection of music for all business types; our customers can't stop raving about our new tunes. And the best part? Melodial is cost-effective, making it the ideal choice for small businesses.”
The Heavenly Vegan
“We stumbled upon Melodial trying to find something cheaper than paying for a music license. We were worried the music would be dull, but to our surprise there is a real variety of playlists, and customers have even been bobbing along.”

Common questions from cafes & restaurants

What does it sound like?
Modern, high-quality music across 24 genres, including café acoustic, jazz, bossa nova, lo-fi, pop, and classical. This is not elevator music. Start a free trial and listen for yourself, no card required.
Can my staff change the playlist?
Yes, from the app or the web player on any device signed in to your account. With Melodial Plus you can schedule playlists by time of day and choose who can change them.
Does it run on my speakers or Sonos?
Yes. Melodial plays from the phone, tablet or computer you already have, through any speakers it connects to by cable or Bluetooth, and it works with Sonos.
Do I still need an ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR license?
Not for anything you play through Melodial. Our catalog isn't registered with any of them, so your subscription is the license and your certificate says so. Music from any other source (radio, Spotify, a DJ, live performers) still needs their licenses.
Can I play Spotify alongside it?
Any other source needs its own license, whether that is Spotify, the radio or a playlist on someone’s phone. Play Melodial through your opening hours and everything customers hear is covered.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts and no cancellation fees. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
