For bars, restaurants, breweries, lounges & event spaces
Turn guest song requests into a new revenue stream.
Guests scan a QR code, request a song, and pay from their phone. Your DJ or staff stays in control, your venue keeps the revenue, and the big screen keeps the room invested in the night.
The math
What could paid requests be worth in your room?

The problem
Music shouldn't cost you the floor.
Guests beg the DJ
Constant interruptions at the booth, awkward cash hand-offs, the same five songs all night.
The music goes stale
A Bluetooth playlist dies by 9pm. Energy drops, tabs close early, the room empties.
Revenue left on the table
Guests would happily pay for their song. Right now you have no clean way to take it.
How it works
From QR scan to dance floor in 60 seconds.
1. Scan
Guests scan your branded QR from a table tent or right off the TV. No app, no signup.
2. Request
They search any song, add a shoutout, and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App or card.
3. Play
The request lands in the booth in real time — and in your DJ's actual software crate.
Why venues add YouDJNow
Built for the people who run the night.
New high-margin revenue
Guests already ask for songs. Now they pay for them, and the money is tracked per night, per venue.
Less booth interruption
Requests arrive in a clean queue instead of being shouted over the monitors.
Screens guests watch
Now Playing, Up Next, and a giant QR on the TVs you already own. People stay to see their song come up.
Your DJ still runs the room
Nothing plays automatically. Your DJ approves, reorders, or refunds — with requests written straight into VirtualDJ, Serato or rekordbox.
No hardware commitment
Existing TVs, existing tablets, printable QR stands. Live the same night you sign up.
Data you never had
Request volume, top songs, revenue by night, guest activity — plus lead capture from the guest photo wall.
Peak-hour reality
You stay in control of every song.
Guests are loud, DJs are busy, managers are moving. Everything below is a switch your team owns.
