Not usually as the same licence. MCPS mainly handles copying and mechanical rights, while public performance of music for staff or customers is normally licensed through PPL PRS and TheMusicLicence in the UK.
A business that copies music for playback may therefore need to consider both the reproduction permission and the public performance licence. A licence for one does not automatically grant the other.
Read the MCPS FAQ and TheMusicLicence explanation for the distinction.
You do not need a separate MCPS licence if you only use MelloJam
If your business plays only MelloJam music through the MelloJam player, you are not using music from the repertoire covered by MCPS's licensing route. MelloJam's original catalogue and the commercial playback rights it controls are included in your MelloJam plan, so you do not need a separate licence from MCPS for the MelloJam playback itself.
A separate non-waivable venue charge can still apply where local law imposes one. Radio, television, Spotify, other recordings, live music, DJs, events, copying and online use are outside the MelloJam plan.
