Enjoy with legal certainty

Full focus on your guests. Our music is fully licensed for commercial use in the catering industry - whether in the dining room, terrace, bar area or sanitary facilities.
If you use GEMA-free music, you need not fear GEMA controls.

Length of stay & turnover

The right music decides whether the guest orders a second cappuccino. A relaxed, feel-good atmosphere demonstrably increases the length of stay and the average receipt.

Gentle acoustic sounds for breakfast, lively pop at rush hour. You know your guests best! Plan the right music with our schedule and sonicPro will play it automatically, creating the perfect atmosphere in the café - from morning to night.

Zoning & acoustics

Different areas, different vibes. Subtle music in the seating area, a little livelier in the entrance area and quiet in the toilets - all centrally controlled.
Up to 5 zones possible.

Plug & Play integration

No complicated technology interferes with operation. Integrate our receiver directly into your catering sound system (Sonos, ELA, amplifier, etc.).
No silence in the event of an internet failure thanks to offline mode.

Curated sounds of pleasure

Always in style. From relaxed jazz & singer-songwriters to modern lounge beats. Our music editorial team provides the perfect backdrop that allows conversation and creates atmosphere.

Pleasure and relaxation are created in the moment - but the music creates the lasting atmosphere. A stylish soundtrack not only creates an inviting ambience in your dining area, but also strengthens the brand identity of your café. Our professionally curated playlists provide you with background music that perfectly matches the time of day and the mood of your guests - from a gentle singer-songwriter sound for breakfast to relaxed lounge sounds in the afternoon and lively beats for the evening.

You control the music centrally, use sales-boosting playlists and offer your guests a feel-good experience that invites them to linger longer and come back again - whether it's a small neighbourhood café or a large franchise chain.
