How it works

From QR scan to playback queue in seconds

No app install. No account required for visitors. A simple, fast experience that keeps venue owners in full control.

Step 01

Scan QR code

Venue visitors scan a QR code at the table or bar counter. The experience opens instantly in their browser.

Step 02

Search licensed catalogue

Visitors browse and search a licensed commercial music catalogue curated for the venue's genre and audience.

Step 03

Request a track

The visitor pays for the request directly via the web interface. Payment is processed before the track enters the queue.

Step 04

Venue-controlled playback queue

The track joins the transparent playback queue. Venue owners retain full control over moderation, order and scheduling.

For venues Owners

  • No app install required for venue visitors — everything runs in the browser
  • Moderation dashboard with blocked tracks and genre restrictions
  • Queue rules and per-visitor request limits
  • Full venue owner control over playback at all times
  • Transparent playback queue visible to all visitors in the room
  • Potential new revenue stream from music requests
  • Works as a web-first experience with minimal hardware requirements

For music partners B2B

  • We are evaluating providers of licensed commercial music catalogue access for a paid interactive jukebox use case
  • Playback or delivery infrastructure integration
  • Rights reporting and transparent usage logging per track and per venue
  • Support for major-label and mainstream catalogue is preferred for pilot viability
  • Open to discussing revenue-share or licensing fee structures suitable for the jukebox model
  • Looking for partners interested in the Czech Republic market with potential EU expansion

Rights reporting from day one

Usage logging is part of the core architecture — every track request is recorded with venue, timestamp and playback confirmation.

Web-first, no proprietary hardware

HudBeat runs in standard browsers on existing venue hardware. No proprietary devices or infrastructure required for the pilot.

EU expansion ready

Architecture is designed for multi-market operation. After a validated Czech Republic pilot, EU expansion is the next planned stage.

Partner-first approach

We are not launching without the right catalogue and licensing partners in place. The pilot scope is defined around what partners enable.
