A clear licence
Understand which music, spaces and uses the offer covers, with relevant country information alongside it.
Background music for business
Grocery music needs to make sense on a quick basket shop and a longer trip through the aisles. Compare a warm soul groove, softer acoustic music and a brighter daytime option, then check each where customers ask for help or pay. Open Hours brings original stations and venue scheduling together, with country and business-use conditions shown for your venue.

A rhythm for the working day
01
Try First light's soft guitar direction when the store is quieter and staff are finishing the morning setup. Golden hour offers a warmer soul groove if the entrance needs a clearer rhythm. Listen from the customer side of the entrance and a staffed counter, not only the stockroom or checkout console.
02
Compare Golden hour with the more upbeat Daylight disco. A busy shop may suit a more evident groove, but the deli counter, collection point and checkout still need clear exchanges. Choose a comfortable common direction if one system serves the whole shop; changing genre cannot fix a speaker that overwhelms a single aisle.
03
Coastal hours gives a lighter bossa nova direction to compare when the last shopping period feels different from the afternoon. Keep a clear handover to the next shift: what is playing, what comes next and when music should stop. A calm late choice is an atmosphere decision, not a technique guaranteed to slow shoppers or change basket values.

Sketch your day’s music ↗Make it work in your space
Check the doorway, central aisle, fresh-food counter and checkout while the music plays. Refrigeration, scanner beeps and reflective shelving can make the same track feel different at each stop. Ask and answer a normal service question. Reduce the music where it competes; avoid making a difficult exchange easier in one area by turning the whole store up.
Where your store uses announcements or paging, check how that existing system behaves when music is playing and make sure staff can lower or pause the soundtrack. This service supplies music playback and scheduling; it does not insert promotional messages or automatically coordinate the store's announcement system. Preserve the store's established announcement and emergency procedures.
Use a station when you want music to continue through the shift, and an ordered collection when a finite sequence fits the job. Hear more than the short public preview before settling on the programme. Staff will hear the soundtrack repeatedly, so gather specific notes about selection and repetition instead of changing every track to someone's favourite.

A few useful answers
Grocery shopping combines aisles, staffed food counters, checkout noise and often long opening hours. Those checks drive the programme here. The shops page remains useful for general retail browsing; this page concentrates on the grocery route and service exchanges.
Yes. Save station selections and times in the venue schedule, then enable Follow saved schedule with the playback workspace open and the device awake. A public planner draft does not activate playback. An ordered collection has a finite end, even if its schedule slot lasts longer.
Check the applicable offer and venue scope in your account. A musical direction can be reused as a reference, but that does not establish permission for another location, an extra simultaneous player or a separate sound zone. Select the venue country and review the actual conditions.
Our direct licence includes the covered catalogue and business uses in your subscription, without a separate royalty invoice from us for every covered track or play. It does not mean unrestricted use or automatically remove local requirements. Your country offer explains its scope before purchase.
Each plan covers one venue and one stream, billed monthly or yearly, and starts with a 7-day free trial. The pricing page lists the price for each country before you sign up.
No. Published samples are for listening on this website while you assess the sound. They do not grant venue-playback or redistribution rights. Playing music in your business needs an active plan.
No. Your preferred language, the country where music plays and the type of use are separate. We are building for businesses globally and reviewing local offers as they become ready. Tell us your location and needs in the enquiry form.
