You chalk it up every morning. It sits by the door. Most people walk straight past it, order the same flat white they always order, and never learn you do a lunch deal. A station says it out loud — to everyone, all day, without a staff member repeating themselves.
A board by the door reaches the people who look down. Your speakers reach everyone in the room, including the queue.
The vibe changes with whoever opened up, and consumer streaming apps don't permit business use in the first place.
The 3pm lull is when a "two coffees and a pastry" prompt earns its keep. Nothing is prompting it.
WHAT YOU'D ACTUALLY PLAY
Warm and low in the morning, a bit more life over lunch, calmer again in the afternoon — scheduled once and repeating daily. Your specials drop in between tracks, timed to when people can still order them.
WELCOME
“Welcome in. Today's coffee is a Colombian single origin — ask us for a taster.”
LUNCH SPECIAL
“Lunch is on: any sandwich with a coffee, nine ninety-five, until three.”
AFTERNOON PUSH
“Afternoon treat — two coffees and a pastry to share, seven dollars.”
LOYALTY
“Grab a loyalty card at the counter. Ten coffees and the eleventh is on us.”
Type the words, pick a voice, and the spot is built for you — or record it yourself in one take.
Yes — that's the point of scheduling. Set it to run 11:30 to 15:00 on weekdays and it appears and disappears on its own. No one has to remember to switch it off.
They would if you ran them every other track. Most cafés run three or four spots an hour, so a customer staying twenty minutes hears one. That's a mention, not an advert break.
Yes. Different music and different messages by time of day, set once. Quiet mornings, busier lunch, calmer evenings.
No. Whatever you already play music through works — a Bluetooth speaker behind the counter is fine. If it makes sound, it works.
