Do restaurants need music licensing?

You must have a license to legally play music in your restaurant. You cant legally play music from a personal streaming service, like your personal Spotify or Apple Music account. If you have live music in your restaurant, such as a band playing or DJ spinning, you need appropriate music licenses.

Does a restaurant have to pay royalties?

Performance royalties are payments made to songwriters, composers, and music publishers when their music is played publicly, including music played in places of business like restaurants, cafs, and retail stores.

Do restaurants have to pay ASCAP?

When you use other peoples property, you need to ask permission. An ASCAP license gives a music user simple, affordable access to the more than 20 million works in the ASCAP repertory. Do business owners need to pay a fee if theyre only playing recorded music like CDs, radio or TV? In general, yes.
