Music for restaurant groups and chains

One dining room, one licence. Twenty-five venues, twenty-five separate bills.

Each restaurant runs its own music stream, its own collecting society tariff and its own streaming subscription. Multiply that across every location in the group and the traditional route becomes an administrative and financial burden. Here is how Melodial Plus replaces it with one platform and flat per-stream pricing.

Every location is its own licence, and the bill grows with every opening.

Each restaurant typically runs one music stream for the dining room, and larger venues that split front-of-house from a separate bar area need a second. Each stream needs its own collecting society tariff plus its own streaming subscription, and it all repeats at the next location.

Melodial Plus replaces the whole stack with one platform, central control of every site, and a single flat price per stream, however many dining areas each venue has.

Common questions from restaurant groups and chains

How does Melodial Plus pricing work for a restaurant group?
Per stream. Most restaurants run a single music stream for the dining room. Plus is $13.99/month (or $139.99/year) per stream, with ads, scheduling and multi-user permissions included, and no separate collecting society fees. A venue with a separately controlled bar area needs a second stream.
Can venue or regional managers control their own restaurant?
Yes. Plus includes multi-user permissions. Set brand guidelines and schedules centrally, then give each venue or manager the access you choose.
Can you create a signature sound for our brand across every restaurant?
Yes. Melodial Curated builds a bespoke playlist around your brand and refreshes it regularly across every Plus stream. Melodial Custom goes further with fully original composed music. Talk to Sales to scope either.
Beyond licensing

Your dining rooms already have a soundtrack. Make it yours.

Music sets the pace of a table, the energy of a Friday night and whether a guest books again. For a chain, a recognisable sound repeated across every location turns atmosphere into brand awareness that compounds with every visit.
