RadioHeart powers branded in-store radio for cafés, restaurants, barbershops, and gyms — across 2 venues or 200. One playlist, every location, perfect timing. From your laptop.
Three things every multi-site operator already knows — and ignores until it shows up on a compliance letter or a Yelp review.
Each manager builds their own playlist. One store sounds like a beach bar, the next like a dentist’s office. Your brand is whatever the closing shift feels like that night.
Brand consistency drops at scale, not because of bad intent — because nobody owns the soundtrack.Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube — their consumer terms forbid public performance. In the US, statutory damages reach $150,000 per song. Most operators learn this from a letter, not a lawyer.
SoundExchange, ASCAP, BMI, PRS — any of them can audit. Personal accounts won’t cover you.A franchisee blasts explicit hip-hop at 7am? You hear about it from a customer complaint, not your dashboard. By then the post is already on TikTok.
Without a control plane, every venue is a separate brand risk.Licensing is its own topic. RadioHeart doesn’t license music for you — we deliver the infrastructure and the reporting so you can stay compliant with whatever music partner you choose. Read our licensing guide.
One dashboard. Every venue. The music team in HQ pushes a change; every player in the network is updated in seconds — or whenever you say to.
Build playlists from HQ. Push to every venue in one click — or stage a rollout by region, by brand tier, by daypart.
Different vibe for breakfast vs. lunch vs. happy hour — automated. Energy curves that match service flow, not someone’s mood.
Let local managers fine-tune within HQ-set rules. Allow a 10% local quota, restrict explicit content, lock dayparts.
“Free coffee for the next 30 minutes” — schedule it once and every station in the network carries it.
Each business type gets a different rhythm. Same platform underneath, different programming on top.
Slow-pour to lunch rush to wind-down. Three energy curves per day, drawn once, replayed in every café you run.
Cafés & coffee shopsBossa-coffee brunch slides into trip-hop dinner slides into deep-house late-night. The room turns over, the radio does too.
Restaurants & barsTight rotations, fresh weekly drops, clean radio edits. No 80-second downtempo bridge during a fade.
Barbershops & salons140 bpm at the top of HIIT, 96 bpm in cooldown, 60 bpm in yoga — class-by-class, room-by-room, no manual swap.
Gyms & fitnessWant the dining room, the bar, and the patio each sounding like themselves? Run a station for each. Every station has its own schedule and its own plan, and they all wear the same brand jacket.
RadioHeart is broadcasting infrastructure — the same separation your legal team prefers. You bring the music and the rights; we make sure what played, when, and where is reportable.

No. RadioHeart is the platform — you bring your own music plus the licensing, or partner with a music supervisor. We work with several recommended licensing partners in the US, UK, and EU, and can introduce you on request.
Yes. HQ sets the master playlist; each location can override within rules you define — for example, allow a 10% local-track quota, restrict overrides to specific dayparts, or block explicit content network-wide. Every override shows up in the play history.
Any device with a modern browser — a laptop, a mini-PC, a tablet, even older Android boxes. Connect it to your existing speakers via the audio jack or Bluetooth. We do not require proprietary hardware, and we do not lock you in to one.
Not yet. A public API and webhooks are on the roadmap, and that is what those integrations will be built on. Today, announcements and playlist changes are scheduled or pushed from the dashboard.
Each player caches the next four hours of programming. If a venue loses connectivity, music does not stop mid-shift — the player keeps broadcasting locally until the connection returns and re-syncs against HQ.
Our public status page tracks control-plane and player health, and every player caches ahead so a blip never reaches the floor. Enterprise customers get a dedicated manager as their escalation path.
