Having spent years paying out for a background music system, owners of The Lion pub in Kenilworth were delighted to learn they could turn this cost into a profit through Hire Jukebox’s services.

Thanks to Hire Jukebox’s profit-share payment option, The Lion Pub’s new digital jukebox provides pub regulars with an extensive range of over seven million available tracks without any rental or installation fees for the venue. Better than that, the jukebox turns background music into a valuable extra source of income, as the pub’s customers love the variety of songs on offer, after complaining the old system frequently repeated the same tracks.

With the latest chart releases, albums and pre-release titles automatically added to the jukebox twice a week to keep the music selection fresh, The Lion’s owners can also be sure this situation will never occur with the new machine. Hire Jukebox can even tailor the jukebox music library to the pub’s customer base or add specific customer requests to the machine, as part of the free technical support services provided.

For The Lion Pub’s owners, this combination of improved music services and a boost to the venue’s revenue stream was a no-brainer.  As a specialist cask ale pub popular with a sport-loving crowd though, the pub’s owners have been even more impressed with the extra features included on the new jukebox.

Given the VenueHub model’s prominent placement within the pub  and sleek design, including a 32” touch screen display, the jukebox immediately catches customers’ eyes as soon as they walk in the door. This creates the perfect opportunity to promote new cask ales on tap through the option to upload jpeg posters to the machine, and to advertise upcoming sports screening events, either as on-screen posters or within the VenueHub’s built-in events calendar feature. There’s even a live news feed service displaying the latest current affairs, music and sports news, encouraging customers to regularly return to the jukebox.
