Music for restaurants & cafés.
Quiet at lunch, lift in the evening. Track Studios is the simplest way to run background music in your restaurant — legally, beautifully, and for a flat €25/month per location.
Why it fits.
Lunch quiet, dinner lift.
Pre-built schedules drop the BPM at noon and lift it from 17:00. Or set your own — by hour or day.
No rights organization fees.
STIM, GEMA, SACEM — none of them can bill you for what we license. We give you a certificate to prove it.
Works with your speakers.
Sonos via TuneIn, AirPlay, Chromecast or a 3.5 mm cable into the amp. No new hardware.
Queue daily specials.
Add a 30-second voice spot between tracks — promote happy hour, the daily menu, or a new dish.
Printable certificate.
A signed PDF you can frame behind the bar. Hash-verifiable for any inspector that walks in.
One dashboard, every location.
Run six restaurants from one tab. Switch playlists in Stockholm from the couch in Malmö.
What works in your space.
Pre-built schedules and tempo defaults you can use day one. Switch any time.
We were paying a rights organization, a record-industry fee and a music app on top. Switched everything to Track Studios in an afternoon.
What restaurant owners ask.
Is it legal to play music in a restaurant?
Yes — but you need a public performance licence. Playing consumer apps like Spotify in a restaurant violates their Terms of Service and does not satisfy licensing requirements. Track Studios' AI catalog is not registered with collecting societies, so venues using the included music receive no invoices from STIM, ASCAP, BMI, or GEMA.
Do restaurants need to pay STIM, ASCAP, or BMI fees?
Only if you play music registered with those organisations. Track Studios' owned AI catalog has never been submitted to any collecting society. Collecting societies invoice based on their registered repertoire — the Track Studios catalog sits outside that repertoire.
Can I use Spotify in my restaurant?
No. Spotify is licensed for personal, non-commercial use only. Playing it in a restaurant violates its Terms of Service and exposes you to retroactive collecting society invoices for the period of unlicensed use.
What is the cheapest legal music solution for a restaurant?
Track Studios costs €25 per month per location, includes all necessary licensing for the included AI catalog, and takes under ten minutes to set up. A 7-day free trial is available with no credit card required.
Does Track Studios work with Sonos?
Yes. Every Track Studios subscription includes a streaming URL you can add to Sonos as an internet radio station. Changes made in the Track Studios dashboard — playlist switches, daypart transitions, audio ads — reflect in the Sonos stream in real time.
How do I manage music across multiple restaurant locations?
Track Studios' multi-location dashboard lets you control all your restaurants from one browser tab — switching playlists, checking what is playing, and managing daypart schedules across every site.
