FrontDoorRadio turns the speakers you already have into a branded station — your music, plus your own welcome messages and “today’s special,” playing all day. You run the whole thing from your phone.
A playlist just fills the air. A station sells — weaving your announcements between the songs, so every customer hears today’s special without a staff member saying a word.

THE SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE TO ENTERPRISE IN-STORE MUSIC
THE SOUND OF YOUR SPACE
Walk into any big chain and listen. The music is chosen, the announcements are timed, and somewhere between the songs a warm voice mentions the seasonal special. That is a system — one the chains have paid millions for. Most small businesses got one of three things instead.
An awkward room where nobody lingers. Silence never sold anything, and in a waiting room it makes the wait feel longer.
Streaming a personal Spotify or YouTube account in a business isn’t permitted under their terms — a risk most owners don’t know they’ve taken on.
Which means a competitor’s advert, playing inside your own four walls, paid for by them and delivered by you.
THE FIX
No new equipment, no installer, no learning curve. If you can use a smartphone, you can run a radio station.
Bluetooth speaker, ceiling system, a phone in a dock — whatever you already have. If it plays sound, FrontDoorRadio works with it.
Choose your vibe from the royalty-free library, then add your own audio — a welcome, a daily special, a reminder. Record it or type it and we’ll voice it.
Your station goes live and keeps playing. Change today’s special from the back office and it’s on air in seconds.
Manage it all from your phone.
No proprietary hardware, ever.
Lunch-rush specials, weekend promos.
Sync a shop or a whole chain.
FRONT OF HOUSE · BACK OF HOUSE
What your customers should hear and what your staff should hear are different things. Run a promo station on the floor and a team station in the back — at the same time, from the same phone.
The right music for the room, with your specials and promos woven between the songs.
The announcements that never reach a frontline team by email, delivered where they already are.
BUILT FOR REAL BUSINESSES
Same simple setup everywhere — only the vibe and the announcements change.
Customers are captive for 20–90 minutes. Specials and rebooking prompts land perfectly.
Daily specials are the lifeblood — the spot engine is your specials board, out loud.
Upbeat sound plus “today’s deal” spots that actually move product off the shelf.
High-energy music with class schedules and membership promos between tracks.
Calm audio and reassuring, helpful announcements instead of an awkward hush.
Back-of-house shift notes, targets and safety reminders where the team actually is.
Good question, and most owners never think to ask it. Playing music publicly in a business normally needs a public-performance licence — which is exactly why streaming your personal Spotify or YouTube over the shop speakers isn’t allowed under their terms.
FrontDoorRadio sidesteps it. You play your own audio plus a royalty-free library licensed for commercial use. There is nothing for you to clear and nobody for you to register with.
Read the honest versionNot legal advice — but it’s why we built the product this way.
Plans start at $15/mo. No contracts, no setup fees, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required.
No. FrontDoorRadio plays through any speaker you already own — Bluetooth, ceiling system, or a phone in a dock. There is no proprietary player to buy and nothing to install.
That’s the risk most owners don’t know they’ve taken on — consumer streaming terms don’t cover business use. And Spotify never mentions your specials between the songs.
About five minutes. Connect a speaker, name your station, add your first announcement, press play. Everything after that is managed from your phone.
You don’t need to. Fill in the blanks — “Today’s special is ___ for ___” — pick a voice, and we build the spot for you. Or record it yourself in one take.
It replaces a paper sign nobody reads with a voice everybody hears, for less than the cost of one lost customer a month. Cancel anytime.
