“Music creates the atmosphere that attracts customers and keeps them coming back.”
Playing music in your restaurant can:
- Attract customers
- Mask private conversations
- Encourage customers to stay longer, and order more drinks/food
- Encourage repeat visits
If you play music in your restaurant, you may need a licence from PRS for Music. Our licence gives you the legal permission you need to play the songs you want.
