How does Soniqo actually run in the venue?

We stream a curated, dayparted programme to your venue's existing audio setup — Sonos, AirPlay, PA, or any standard mixer. No hardware to install, no new accounts for your staff. Staff can adjust volume; everything else is automated and scheduled.

How fast can you go live?

Forty-eight hours from the first call. Day one we do a 30-minute onboarding call. Day one–two we build your sound profile. Day three you're live. Most multi-zone venues are running within the same window.

Standard from Pro tier onwards. Different floors, lobbies, terraces, spas, private rooms all get their own programme, each on its own schedule. All controlled from one dashboard.

What if our internet is unreliable — or goes down completely?

Two answers. Our cloud player already buffers through short drops. For properties where music simply cannot stop — malls, casinos, hotels, live venues — we offer offline playback: a dedicated on-site player with the entire programme stored locally, so the audio path never touches the internet. The connection is only used to sync new tracks and schedules when you're online. Hardware can be supplied and managed by us, or we send the spec and configure yours. Quoted per property.

Our DJ team. Not an algorithm, not a generic playlist library. Every track is handpicked, brand-aligned, and tested against your concept. No explicit tracks, no off-brand surprises.

How often does the music change?

Quarterly refresh on Core, monthly on Pro, custom on Signature. Seasonal modes, event modes, and brand-specific signature evolutions are part of the Pro and Signature tiers. Nothing ever loops the same week twice.

What about the same music across all our locations?

Yes — central group profile with optional local adjustments. The brand sounds consistent across every venue while still respecting venue-specific factors like crowd, hour, season.

Do you handle the new UAE music licence (from 1 December 2026)?

Yes. Under Ministerial Resolution No. 136 of 2026, every UAE restaurant, café, hotel, gym and mall needs an annual music licence from 1 December 2026 — fees from AED 1,500 a year for a small restaurant, fines of up to AED 500,000 without one. For our venues we determine the tariff category, prepare and file the application with the authorised organisation (EMRA or Music Nation), track the renewal, and keep the certificate and track-level documentation inspection-ready — bundled with the music itself. Full breakdown and a fee calculator: soniqo.io/uae-music-licensing/.

What about music licensing?

Handled on our side. PRO and PPL royalties are paid through our system. You stay legally clear without managing any separate accounts or licenses for the music we provide.

Thirty days written notice, any month. No exit fees. We hand back the calendar so you can continue with your previous setup if you want to. First month is treated as a trial — cancel within 30 days, no kill fee, no questions.

Why not just use Spotify Business?

Spotify Business gives you a music library; it does not give you direction. It plays algorithm-based recommendations, includes podcast and sponsor breaks, has no daypart or brand intelligence, and is not insurable as a business audio source. Soniqo is the programme around the music — designed, curated, scheduled, supported.

Fujairah · Active

Fujairah faces
the other sea.

Fujairah is the UAE's east coast — Gulf of Oman, not Arabian Gulf — a quieter, resort-led, dive-and-beach destination with a growing line of five-star coastal properties. The hospitality is resort-anchored and outdoor, and it rewards a spacious, sun-led soundtrack rather than a city one.

The Fujairah dayProgramming context

Fujairah's dining is beach-resort and waterfront, with a relaxed, outdoor rhythm and a strong weekend-getaway crowd from Dubai. The daypart runs from beach morning to sunset dinner, and resort properties carry the multi-zone profile designed programming serves best.

Signature daypartsTuned for Fujairah

Beach morning

09:00 — 12:00

Resort arrival and beach. Soft instrumentals, melodic edits, the sound of a slow coast.

Coastal afternoon

12:00 — 17:00

Balearic, downtempo, breeze-aware. Built for open-air, barefoot dining.

Sunset dinner

18:00 — 22:00

Golden hour on the Gulf of Oman into resort dining. Soulful, spacious, brand-aligned.

Late lounge

22:00 — 00:30

DJ-mixed but unhurried. Coastal late-hours with restraint.

Why us in FujairahOur position

Fujairah is part of our home UAE market, and its resorts are exactly the multi-zone, sunset-precise properties our Signature tier handles best. Weekend-getaway demand from Dubai means the rooms here are held to a Dubai standard — which is the standard we program to.

Deployment

48-hour deployment, on-site support given the UAE base. Resort multi-zone provisioned end to end.

Pricing

Same UAE tiers. Beach resorts typically run Signature for the multi-zone scale; single venues run Pro.

UAE music law · from 1 December 2026

Every venue in Fujairah with music on now needs an annual licence.

Ministerial Resolution No. 136 of 2026 introduces annual music licensing for restaurants, cafés, hotels, gyms and malls across the UAE — fees from AED 1,500 a year, fines of up to AED 500,000 for playing music without one. We license and program Fujairah venues as one service: the paperwork on our side, the sound in your room.
