Background music for business in the UAE

Give your shop, restaurant or hotel a musical character that fits the space. yodj helps you plan background music around your brand, your guests and the way your business operates throughout the day.

A music brief built around your venue

A café in Dubai, a hotel lobby in Abu Dhabi and a retail store can need very different listening experiences. The starting point is your audience, interior, opening hours and existing sound system. Rather than choosing a genre in isolation, define what each space needs: conversation, a welcoming arrival or a more energetic shopping environment.

Shops and retail groups

Agree a musical direction that fits your products and customers. For a retail group, decide what should remain consistent across locations and where individual stores need a different programme. Advertising messages may also be part of the brief, subject to the selected plan and the way you want the in-store experience to feel.

Cafés, restaurants and hospitality

Breakfast, daytime service and dinner can follow different music schedules. A hotel may also need separate consideration for reception, dining and shared spaces. Independent music programmes depend on the playback and speaker setup; discuss the technical arrangement before assuming that every zone can be controlled separately.

AED pricing, independently of language

Visitors located in the UAE see prices in AED in the pricing section below. Choosing Russian, English or Kazakh does not change that regional currency. Location detection can be affected by a VPN or travel, so confirm the applicable commercial terms for your UAE venue when you contact us. Check the final amount and payment details at checkout.

Plan the setup before you switch on

  1. Share your venue type, emirate, opening hours and existing audio equipment. For multiple locations, explain which spaces need a common programme.
  2. Discuss the music direction, daily schedule and any announcements. We can then identify which standard or custom service to explore.
  3. Before launch, confirm the direct licence scope for our original catalogue and your UAE venue. Test playback and the listening level in the actual space.

Our original catalogue is licensed directly; its rights are not assigned to collecting societies. Confirm the covered territory, premises and uses in your licence. Third-party music and mandatory local requirements are separate.

Licensing, setup, billing and support

Who owns the music in the yodj catalogue?

Our catalogue consists of original compositions and performances created in-house. Rights to this catalogue have not been assigned to collective management organisations. We license it directly: the agreement defines the repertoire, territories, venues and permitted uses. Original music remains protected by copyright; direct licensing is permission to use it, not a declaration that it is in the public domain.

How does this work for a venue in the UAE?

Use the original yodj catalogue under the direct licence agreed for your venue. Before public playback, confirm that the agreement covers your UAE premises, the relevant rights and your intended use. EMRA and Music Nation are UAE organisations administering collectively managed music rights; their existence does not establish that a particular recording belongs to their repertoire. Ask us for the licence scope and catalogue information for your venue. Third-party music and any mandatory local requirements must be assessed separately.

How do I connect my venue?

Tell us which computer, tablet or phone you intend to use and how it connects to your existing sound system. We can confirm the playback setup and help you test the music and daily schedule in the actual space. Independent programmes for different zones require a suitable playback setup; discuss this before connecting several spaces.

Can I use yodj at several venues?

Start is intended for one venue; Business is offered for up to five venues. For larger chains or independent music zones, contact us to agree the plan, playback arrangement and locations covered by the licence. The original catalogue licence applies to the venues and uses specified in your agreement.

Where can I check payment details?

Prices are displayed according to your location. Review the final amount, payment currency and available payment methods at checkout before confirming payment. Review the card requirements, monthly automatic renewal and cancellation terms in the Public Offer before starting the trial or subscribing.

How can I contact support?

Email support is available 24/7 at support@yodj.pro. Include your account email, venue and playback device when describing a problem. For a new venue or a chain, email sales@yodj.pro to discuss the setup and licence scope.
