How music impacts the dining experience

Music and messaging by CloudCover can enhance your business in so many ways.

Increase dwell time

The right background music encourages customers to linger longer in your coffee shop, browsing through the menu or enjoying an extra cup. Curated playlists transform your cafe into a comfortable haven where patrons wish to dwell.

Improve staff morale

A happy barista means a perfectly brewed coffee. Introducing lively songs and playlists to your coffee shop can uplift staff morale, ensuring they're always at their best to serve your customers.

Mask unwanted sounds

Coffee grinding, the clinking of cups, or even chatter can sometimes be overwhelming. But with background music services, these sounds can be effortlessly masked, allowing customers to immerse themselves in the harmonious ambiance of your espresso bar.

Enhance your brand identity

In a world filled with cafes and coffee joints, stand out with a signature sound. Using licensed music services, craft a unique brand identity for your Java Joint that customers recognize and love, each time they step in.

Create a memorable experience

The combination of a warm cup and the right music can transform a quick coffee stop into a memorable experience. Enhance the sensory journey for your customers with soundtracks that resonate with the soul of your cafe.

Minimize perceived wait times

While customers await their latte or espresso at your Java Joint, the right music can make the wait feel shorter. The soothing sounds of instrumental tracks or the rhythm of jazz can make time fly, improving the overall cafe experience.

Why is Background Music for Coffee Shops So Important?

Playing background music in your coffee shop or cafe can affect customer mood, behavior, emotions, and spending. Research has found that appropriate music selection can impact the perceived taste of coffee. “Sweet” music has been shown to make coffee taste sweeter, while “bitter” music can make coffee taste more bitter. “Sweet” music is also associated with joy and surprise.

Appropriate music can also increase dwell time and sales and create a calming and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, music can enhance customer enjoyment and satisfaction, ultimately leading to returning customers and cementing your coffee shop as a community favorite.

Transform your coffee shop into a vibrant community space with Pandora CloudCover, the ultimate music streaming service designed to enrich customer experience and create the perfect atmosphere for patrons to savor their coffee, get work done, or socialize.

Case Studies

Coffee Company Brews Up Good Vibes With Custom Music Station

This coffee retailer is streaming a custom CloudCover station to more than 450 of their stores every day. They wanted to match their background music with their quirky, fun-loving brand. So we worked with them to build a custom music station that reflects their positive energy. After a full brand sound analysis by our professional music curation team, we hand-selected every song in their new station, which gets updated every week with new tracks. Now their employees are brewing up great coffee with a huge smile on their faces. And customers are loving it too.
