The invisible host
Not the playlist itself — the feeling. The warmth of a room that sounds like someone cared. The dissonance of a room where no one did.
Researchers at the University of Leicester found that when restaurants played slower-tempo music, diners stayed an average of 13.5 minutes longer — and spent 29% more per table. The right tempo, the right genre, the right energy: they change how people eat, drink, linger, and return.
Most restaurant owners know this intuitively. You've felt the difference between a Saturday night that hums and one that falls flat. Between the lunch rush that flows and the one where everyone leaves too soon.
The hard part was always finding the right music — and keeping it legal. Puana is the easy part.
Built for your schedule
A restaurant isn't one mood. It's five, six, ten. Puana lets you schedule different sounds for every part of the day — in 15-minute blocks, with automatic transitions and volume changes. Set it once. It runs itself.
Light acoustic, warm jazz. The kitchen comes alive without being pushed.
Uptempo bossa nova, indie pop. Energy without volume. Tables turn naturally.
Funk, soul, deep grooves. The shift from work to play. Drinks flow.
Sophisticated jazz, ambient textures. Conversation stays easy. Guests stay longer.
Downtempo, lo-fi, atmospheric. The room winds down. The mood deepens.
Silence, or whatever the closing crew wants. Your schedule, your rules.
From a cafe in Michigan
“I spent twenty minutes every morning scrolling for the right music. Now the room sounds exactly the way it should — and I never think about it.”
There's a moment every morning at Cafe Meria in Charlevoix, Michigan — before the espresso machine warms up, before the first customer walks in — when the room is just a room. Four walls, some chairs, light coming off Lake Michigan.
Then the music starts, and the space becomes something. The air changes. The room has a feeling now.
Jesse Meria built Puana because he couldn't find music that sounded like his place was supposed to sound. Not someone else's playlist. Not a corporate feed. Something warm. A little rough around the edges. Alive.
Puana is a library of over 3,000 original tracks — each one composed to feel like it belongs somewhere real. You describe the atmosphere you want. Puana plays exactly that.

The math
Personal streaming services aren't licensed for commercial use. The fine for copyright infringement is up to $30,000 per track. And 83% of businesses are doing it right now without knowing.
The “legal” alternative? A business music service ($25–30/mo) plus BMI ($250-500/year) plus ASCAP ($220-500/year) plus SESAC ($200-400/year). Total: $470-1,400+/year per year. And you still might not like the music.
