Background music for cafes and coffee shops
MelloJam provides commercial music for cafes, coffee shops, bakeries, and daytime food businesses. It runs in a browser, so the team can choose a profile for morning service, lunch or a quieter afternoon and start playback without dedicated music hardware. The covered commercial playback rights for the MelloJam catalogue are included with the service, while local requirements should still be checked for the cafe's country and use.
Choose music that fits the business
Cafe music should support conversation and the pace of service. It can change through the day without making the room feel like a different business.
Suitable directions include warm jazz-influenced instrumentals, acoustic music, relaxed soul, light electronic music, and unobtrusive daytime playlists. MelloJam lists to consider include Warm Cafe and Morning Cafe.
A commercial music service for cafes
The useful cafe music solution is easy to operate during a busy shift and comfortable for customers who are talking, working or studying. Use separate profiles for different dayparts, keep volume consistent, and link the music choice to the cafe's service rather than to one employee's personal streaming account.
For the rights question, read whether cafes need a music licence and check the local rules that apply to the premises.
