For the screen behind your counter

The practical problem in most Indian bars and cafes is not taste, it is attention. Somebody has to keep the music going for six hours, and that somebody is usually the person who should be running the floor. So the music ends up as a two-hour playlist on repeat, or a streaming account that logs itself out, or a staff member's phone with his own preferences on it and a call coming in every twenty minutes. All three are visible to your customers.

This runs unattended. Open it on any browser - the till machine, a laptop in the back, an old tablet, the smart TV behind the bar - pick a mood, press play once, and it keeps going until somebody closes the tab. There is no account, no app to install, no subscription and no fee. It works on whatever screen you already have and it does not need a good one.

The six moods are the actual product here, because an evening is not one thing. Old Hindi songs at seven while the early tables are eating. Yaari through the middle of the evening, when it is groups rather than couples. Talli after eleven, which is the mixed set that sounds like a room that has been going for a while. Gham if it is a Tuesday and there are four people in. You change the room by changing one setting, from the phone in your pocket, without walking to the counter.

If you have a projector or a large screen, use the video mode instead of audio - a music video on a wall does more for a room at nine o'clock than another string of lights, and it gives people something to look at when conversation dips. Two honest notes before you use this commercially. It plays through YouTube, so a working internet connection is not optional. And public playback in a commercial space in India involves music licensing, which is a matter between you and the licensing bodies - this site does not grant you any rights and does not pretend to.
