Music for bakeries
Bakery music that starts as early as your ovens
A bakery’s day starts before most shops are awake. The first customers arrive on their way to work, the queue moves fast until mid-morning, and the afternoon is calmer, with a few people lingering over coffee and the last loaves going out before an early close.
There is rarely time to think about music in between. Tunelay is built to be set up once on a single tablet or PC: it starts with the bakery, follows the morning and afternoon on its own, and goes quiet when you close — even if the shop Wi-Fi is temperamental.
The bakery music problem
Small teams, early hours and no spare hands make music an afterthought.
Nobody has time to press play
At six the team is busy with ovens and shelves. Music starts whenever someone remembers, often halfway through the morning rush.
The radio talks too much
Talk, news and adverts fill the shop with voices competing with the customers ordering at the counter.
It keeps playing after closing
The music runs on while the team cleans, cashes up and leaves — or someone forgets it overnight.
A patchy connection in an old building
Thick walls and an old router mean streaming apps stutter, especially when the card terminal shares the same connection.

A touch more energy while the queue reaches the door.
Late morning & lunch

Lighter again as the rush eases and sandwiches take over from croissants.
Afternoon

Warm and slow until closing, when the music fades out by itself.
Times are an example — you set your own.
How it fits
How bakeries use Tunelay
One device, set up once
Most bakeries need a single player: a tablet by the till or a small PC in the back, connected to the speaker you already have. After pairing, it runs without daily attention.
Starts and stops with your hours
Opening hours are part of the location settings. The music starts when you open, fades out over ten seconds when you close, and stays off overnight.
No talk, no ads
Tunelay plays music only. The only voice ever heard is an announcement you uploaded and scheduled yourself.
Indifferent to a weak connection
Music is stored on the device in advance. The player only needs the internet to fetch updates, and waits for a good moment to do it.
Example scenarios
Illustrative situations based on how bakeries typically run — not customer stories.
Sunday opens later
On Sundays the bakery opens at eight and closes at one. Its opening hours for that day handle it; the music starts and stops with them.
Christmas Eve hours
For one day the bakery opens at six and closes at noon. A date exception covers it, and the normal week is back the next morning.
A second shop opens
The owner opens a small kiosk at the station. It joins the same schedule with its own opening hours and is paired in a couple of minutes.

Frequently asked questions
We only have one shop. Is Tunelay overkill?
One location with one player is the simplest setup. You still get scheduled moods, automatic quiet after closing and offline playback.
Do we have to start the music every morning?
No. It starts with the opening hours you set and stops at closing time on its own.
Our Wi-Fi is weak. Will it work?
Yes, once music has been stored on the device. Updates are fetched when the connection allows, without interrupting playback.
Can we play it during early prep, before opening?
Staff can choose Play anyway on the tablet before opening. It plays until the next scheduled opening takes over.
