Your guests already ask for songs. Now your venue can monetize it.
VenueTunes gives your venue a branded, QR-powered song request system that turns guest demand into revenue — without hardware, app downloads, or DJ chaos.
The concerns operators have, solved.
The questions every GM asks before saying yes — and the honest answers.
Will guests ruin the vibe?
No. Your DJ or staff stays in control. Requests can be approved, skipped, refunded, filtered, or limited by venue rules.
Do we need new hardware?
No. Use any TV, tablet, or laptop you already have, plus a printed QR code.
Will this annoy the DJ?
VenueTunes is designed to reduce interruptions by moving requests into a paid, sortable dashboard the DJ controls.
What if a song doesn't play?
Refunds are automatic when a song isn't played in-session. Guest trust is protected by default.
Will setup be complicated?
No. Brand the venue, connect secure checkout, print QR sheets, open a session. Most operators are live the same night.
Is this legally licensed music?
VenueTunes is a request, payment, queue, display, and venue management platform. Venues remain responsible for their playback systems and any public-performance licensing obligations.
Based on real operator economics — actual results vary by venue.
Tailored for the rooms you actually run.
Every venue type has its own crowd, its own music dynamics, and its own revenue opportunity.
