How Pubs, Bars, and Cafés manage Song Requests
Pubs, bars, and cafés aim to create a vibrant atmosphere where guests feel connected and entertained. Rekwest offers a simple yet powerful way to engage customers by letting them request and vote for songs, all while providing venues full control over the music played.
The Basics
Setup
To start, venue staff create an event with details like name, start time, and duration. Rekwest generates a unique QR code or shareable link that customers can use to request songs instantly through their browser, without installing an app or creating an account. There are various QR code poster styles available to match the venue’s branding and ambiance.
Venues can restrict requests to playlists crafted to fit the venue’s style, ambiance, and clientele. Automated accept and decline rules let busy staff manage requests hands-free if desired.
During Service
As customers submit and vote for song requests, staff monitor the live queue and choose which songs to accept or decline to maintain the perfect vibe. Accepted tracks are automatically added to Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud playlists, or queued into integrated DJ software.
Optional tipping on song requests allows guests to support performers or the venue, adding an extra revenue stream.
After Closing
Send follow-up emails to customers thanking them and promoting future events or specials. Rekwest provides detailed analytics on guest engagement, aiding venues in fine-tuning their music offerings.
Endless Possibilities
Rekwest also enhances venue operations with features like:
- Pre-event requests to plan the perfect playlist in advance.
- Control over who can submit requests and how often.
