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.

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.

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.

Venue type · Hotels

A hotel is a stack of rooms
with very different jobs.

A premium hotel has eight or ten distinct sound zones — lobby, all-day-dining, signature restaurant, pool, rooftop bar, lounge, spa, gym, ballroom pre-function. They are all the same brand and they all need different programmes. Most hotels run all of them on one playlist, and you hear it.

What we replaceStock music shortcomings

The hotel music industry has been dominated for twenty years by a small number of corporate background-music providers selling generic ambient loops at industrial scale. The result is the same lobby music in three different five-star hotels in three different cities. We program against that.

Signature daypartsHotels-specific

Lobby morning

06:00 — 11:00

Welcoming, neutral-bright, internationally readable. The first impression of the property.

All-day dining lunch

12:00 — 15:00

Lifted enough for buffet flow, restrained enough for business meetings.

Pool afternoon

13:00 — 17:00

Resort-tuned. Balearic, downtempo, daytime soul.

Pre-dinner lobby

18:00 — 20:00

Sophisticated lift. Setting the property's evening tone.

Signature dinner

19:30 — 22:30

Outlet-specific. The Italian sounds Italian. The Japanese sounds Japanese. The signature steak destination sounds singular.

Rooftop late

21:00 — 01:00

DJ-mixed where the brand allows. Pre-club energy without breaking property tone.

How it runsSetup & zones

Typical setup

Hotel BGM systems (BSS, Symetrix, Crestron, QSC) integrated via standard streaming inputs. We work with the property's existing AV team and BGM contractor.

Typical zones

8–15 zones depending on property scale. Each zone gets its own programme on its own schedule.

Recommended tier

Signature

$1,200/month — unlimited zones, custom curation.

Why programming matters herePractical impact

Hotel music is where the largest gap exists between premium ambition and actual delivered sound. Properties charging $800 a night still play the same library that a mid-tier business hotel plays. We replace that library with a designed, branded, room-by-room programme that matches the rest of the operation.

From the field

A five-star hotel group running properties in Dubai and Abu Dhabi moved from a corporate BGM provider to a Soniqo Signature dashboard. Same staff, same outlets — guest feedback shifted from neutral to 'noticeably elevated' on the first quarterly review.
