What it does

Skip the second vendor. Native messaging is built into the platform.

In-store messaging (overhead messaging, audio ads, branded announcements) is how multi-location brands push timed audio content alongside their background music. Curator Now's messaging is operator-controlled, you schedule it, target it, push it. No agency-led setup, no separate hardware, no extra contract.

Limited Time Offers and promotional campaigns
Push a nationwide LTO message to all 200 locations from one dashboard. Schedule it for peak hours. Pull it the moment the promo ends.
Brand storytelling and announcements
Tell your brand story between songs. Spotlight new products, partnerships, or store events. Sound like a brand, not just a venue playing music.
Real-time operational messages
"Spin class starting in five." "Happy hour ends in ten." "Kitchen closes at 10." The messages your team would normally yell across the floor.
Compliance and safety announcements
Loss-prevention reminders, allergen warnings, ID-check policies, closing-time announcements, scheduled and consistent across every location.
How it works

From idea to playing in every store in about four minutes.

Same dashboard you use for music. Same multi-location, multi-zone targeting. Same real-time rollout. Messaging is part of the platform, not a bolt-on with its own login.

1
Upload or generate
Upload your own recorded audio, or generate a clean voice message from text.
2
Target
Pick the locations and zones inside each. All sites. One region. A single flagship.
3
Schedule
Set the date range, time-of-day rules, and play cadence (every 15 min, peak hours only, open/close).
4
Push
Hit deploy. Propagates in real time across every targeted zone. Pull it just as fast when the campaign ends.
Multi-location control

Designed to scale campaigns across an entire fleet.

Single-location messaging is easy. Coordinating messaging across 50, 200, or 500 sites without chaos is the real challenge. Curator Now's messaging is built on the same fleet-control architecture as the music platform itself.

✓
Push to every location at once
A new LTO message hits 200 stores in seconds, not days. Same for pulling it down.
✓
Per-zone targeting
Play the bar message only in the bar zone. The kitchen-closing message only in front-of-house.
✓
Region and store overrides
HQ schedules the corporate campaign. Regional teams add their own. Store managers adjust within your rules.
✓
Audio plays alongside music, not on top
Messages duck the music down briefly, play, and let it come back. No abrupt cuts.
✓
No separate hardware
Messaging runs on whatever you're using for music, browser, Sonos, Q-SYS, or Epicentre. One system, one bill, one team.
Run the messaging like you run the rest of the business.
One contract, one vendor, no extra hardware install.

One platform.
Music and messaging.

Audio messaging shouldn't be a separate contract or hardware install. Talk to our team about bundling it into your Curator Now platform.
