Cafés and coffee shops

Music Agent for Independent Businesses
Brief Your Shop's Sound
Share what makes the place yours. The Music Agent will use it as creative context, make the production decisions, and begin working in the Agent workspace.
Custom Original Music for Your Business
Turn your customers, space, service rhythm, and daypart into two tailored sound directions and a first playable track. Pro and Ultra include documented commercial rights, with an entry cost about 80% lower than custom production priced from $250 per track.
How it works
From the story of your shop to an original in-store sound
1Step 1
Tell us what makes the place yours
Fill in any one of the four opening fields to begin. Add the business name, type, story, neighborhood, customers, desired feeling, or musical preferences when you have them.
2Step 2
Choose between two sound identities
The Agent turns your brief into two distinct music DNA directions, each grounded in your business rather than a generic café or boutique cliché.
3Step 3
Build your original rotation
Listen to the first track, refine what feels off, then create more related music in the same conversation when you want a larger in-store series.
What you get
Music Built for Your Business—with Rights and Costs You Can Plan
Create an original in-store sound around the way your business actually operates, without commissioning every track separately.
Tailored to the way your space works
The Agent uses your customers, room, products, service rhythm, daypart, neighborhood, and point of view to shape instrumentation, groove, density, warmth, and energy.
Commercial rights you can document
Tracks created during an active Pro or Ultra subscription come with a downloadable commercial license agreement. Those Lacuna-granted rights continue after the subscription ends for qualifying tracks.
About 80% lower upfront cost
Pro is currently $49 per month, while publicly listed custom production often starts around $250 per track. That makes the starting budget about 80% lower; provider prices and project scope vary.
A coherent series, not a one-off track
Keep refining in the same thread and extend an approved music DNA into a related original rotation without recommissioning each track from scratch.

FAQ
Questions about custom music for a small business
Describe your customers, room, products, neighborhood, service rhythm, daypart, and the feeling you want. The Agent turns that operating context into decisions about instrumentation, groove, energy, density, and melodic prominence.
Yes. Explicitly ask for a signature song, jingle, or vocal track that includes the name. Otherwise, this workflow begins with instrumental background-music directions.
No. Describe the room, customers, products, time of day, and how you want people to feel. Practical phrases are often more useful than a broad genre label.
Lacuna Pro is currently $49 per month. Publicly listed custom-production services often start around $250 per track, so the entry cost is about 80% lower than commissioning a first track separately. Prices vary by provider and scope; see Lacuna pricing for current plan details.
The Agent can preserve a shared music DNA while varying tempo, lead instrument, groove, density, and arrangement. Continue giving feedback so the series feels related without becoming identical.
Yes. Start with one listening context, then ask the Agent to develop a related direction for another daypart. Lacuna creates the music, but it does not schedule or control playback in your venue.
Qualifying tracks created during an active Pro or Ultra subscription are covered by a downloadable Lacuna commercial license, and those Lacuna-granted commercial rights continue after the subscription ends. Confirm any local public-performance, venue, or collecting-society requirements that apply to your business.
