A restaurant needs music that guests notice only if it stops: even coverage at a low level, a separate volume for the patio or bar, and control that staff can use without touching the amplifier. Ceiling speakers in the dining room, weatherproof speakers outside and a small multi-input amplifier cover most restaurants.
Key takeaways
- Low, even sound in the dining room.
- Give the patio and bar their own volume.
- Use weather-rated speakers outdoors.
- Put staff controls where staff work, not in the back office.
01What to look for before you buy
- Dining room: ceiling speakers spread evenly, not one loud speaker by the entrance
- Patio or garden: weather-rated speakers aimed away from neighbours
- Bar: a separate level so lively music does not reach quiet tables
- Kitchen: keep it separate; noisy kitchens need their own plan
- Source: a dedicated player or tablet on a playlist, with the volume locked
02Where these figures come from
Figures are indicative and change often; confirm with a written quote. Sources checked October 2026: CIPIT Strathmore: MCSK and KAMP-PRISK licences are distinct; CIPIT Strathmore: alternative licensing regime for music in public places.

06Frequently asked questions
Can I use my phone for restaurant music?
It works for a small cafe, but calls, notifications and low batteries interrupt it. A dedicated player is more reliable.
How do I keep neighbours happy?
Aim outdoor speakers into the venue, use several quiet speakers instead of one loud one and set a lower evening limit. Check local rules on noise.
Do restaurants need a music licence?
Playing recorded music to customers can need licences from Kenya's music rights societies. Confirm with MCSK and KAMP-PRISK.
