Your guests run the jukebox, you stay in control

Put one QR code on the tables or at the bar. Guests scan it to request and vote on songs from their phones, with no app or account. Your staff see every request and approve what fits, so the music keeps going without pulling anyone away from serving.

One QR code for the whole venue

Print a single QR code once and leave it on the tables or at the bar. It always opens your venue's live request page, so guests can request any time you're open.

Staff stay in control

Every request waits for staff approval, and you can restrict requests to a playlist that suits your venue, so nothing unwanted comes through the speakers.

Hands-free when you're busy

Set auto-accept and auto-decline rules so requests flow through on their own, letting busy staff keep serving instead of managing a queue.

How Pubs, Bars & Cafés manage Song Requests

1

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. Venues can choose to use a single QR code that always points to the current event or generate separate QR codes for each event. Venues can restrict requests to playlists crafted to fit the venue's style, ambiance, and clientele. Optional automated accept and decline rules let busy staff manage requests hands-free if desired.

2

During Service

As customers submit and vote for song requests, staff monitor the live queue and choose which songs to accept or decline to keep the right music playing. Accepted tracks are automatically added to Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud playlists, or added to integrated DJ software. Optional tipping on song requests allows guests to support performers or the venue, adding an extra revenue stream.

3

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.
