THE POWER OF MUSIC

Why Music Matters in Coffee Shops

Playing background music in your coffee shop or cafe can affect customer mood, behavior, emotions, and spending. It could even make your coffee taste better. 

Research has found that “sweet” music has been shown to make coffee taste sweeter, while “bitter” music can make coffee taste more bitter. 

Appropriate music can also increase dwell time by creating a calming and inviting atmosphere. And music can enhance customer enjoyment and satisfaction, ultimately leading to repeat business.

“Pandora CloudCover is the premier music streaming solution for coffee shops and cafes. We help maximize your potential through the power of music, so you can focus on what matters most, your customers and operation.”
