Background music for cafés.

Music affects our mood, perceptions and behaviours. While the coffee is being sipped and your customers are smiling, let's impact their choices and influence how they perceive your brand long after they've left the venue. It can also inspire happy and productive employees.

More on music
Music library icon

Pre-built playlists - using services like Spotify is illegal for businesses, so we have over 100 fully licensed, regularly updated playlists for you to choose from. If you've got a Spotify playlist you already like the sound of, we can find you a professionally curated match. And you can edit or create your own playlists from our multi million-track library.

Music playlist icon

Branded atmosphere - curated playlists are tailored to your brand and individual location, from uplifting tracks in busy shopping centre locations, to slow and sophisticated soundtracks in quaint cafes. Your coffee shops' soundtracks will be part of your brand-building activity.

User music icon

Sounds with substance - we know that the music in cafés is a huge element of the atmosphere. That's why your perfectly branded playlists are curated using data and a robust, academic model that was specifically designed for brand professionals, and we build a close collaborative relationship with you.

Dynamic digital signage.

Give your products and brand the promotion they deserve, and enhance the atmosphere of your coffee shops with our cloud-based digital signage solution.

Digital signage icon

Capture customers - digital signage is engaging, visual, and gets in front of visitors who are ready to spend. It's a great way to reinforce your promotions and brand messaging, especially in high dwell areas like the queue, and can even be synchronised with your audio solutions to really seal the deal.

Science icon

It's science - just like music, engaging visual displays are proven to influence customer experiences - reducing frustration and perceived wait times and improving brand recall.

Startle’s music solution was exactly what we were looking for. Their team worked collaboratively with Santander to create the interactive Jukebox. Our customers like the music and the way they can select the tracks using a touchscreen. The music adds to the buzz of the Work Café.
