Before you start
Is VAKATAGI music GEMA-free?
According to our documented knowledge, the VAKATAGI titles provided are not part of the repertoire administered by GEMA or a comparable collecting society. An active subscription includes the usage rights for background music in your booked commercial spaces and a personal usage confirmation in the dashboard. Using VAKATAGI does not exempt you from GEMA obligations in general. If you also play radio, Spotify or other streaming services, these may still be subject to GEMA fees.
Can I listen before signing up?
Yes. The restaurant selection in Explore is available without registration. Choose a preview there; this page never starts audio automatically.
What does the free trial include?
Try Pro for 14 days with all Pro features and up to 50 generated tracks. No payment details are required. The trial ends automatically and is available once per account.
How loud should music be during service?
Use conversation as your guide: during quiet breakfast and café hours, music can be present without covering voices. During a busy lunch or dinner service, it should support the room rather than dominate it. Check the level in different service phases and adjust for room size, guest numbers and the acoustics of your venue.
How can I assess a playlist in the actual room?
Listen from several seats: near the entrance, at a table close to the kitchen and in a quieter corner. Check whether transitions feel comfortable and conversations remain easy. Then ask staff for specific feedback from service and note which tracks or passages feel especially fitting or distracting.
Does it work without internet?
Regular use requires internet. The Android player can bridge short interruptions by caching currently playing tracks; full offline operation is not promised.
How should your place feel?
Listen first. If the vibe feels right, try VAKATAGI in your own venue.
