Food & Beverage

Restaurants, cafés, bars, and other food service businesses are among the most music-dependent venue types. Music tempo has a measurable, documented effect on dwell time, spending per cover, and perceived service quality. The food and beverage industry is also the most heavily enforced sector by collecting societies globally.
