More than background entertainment
Make your pub the reason people go out.
The best pub nights are not passive. They give the whole room something to join, cheer, film, laugh about, and repeat. Karaoke turns customers into the entertainment—and every singer brings an audience with them.
UK pub research found music-led venues achieving 21% higher weekday wet sales and up to 48.2% higher Friday and Saturday sales than non-music venues. In an Amber Taverns karaoke trial, guests coming for karaoke represented 6% of midweek trade and 16% at weekends.

Turn up the takings
A fuller room is only the beginning.
A strong karaoke night can lift trade in three ways: more people through the door, longer dwell time while singers wait and support their friends, and more reasons to order another drink or meal.
- Create a destination on an underused night
- Build a weekly habit instead of chasing one-off traffic
- Keep the room engaged between performances
- Put drinks promotions, birthdays and last orders inside the show
Give them a reason to visit
Win the night before the first note.
Wednesday is our recommended starting point for most pubs: it has recoverable capacity, enough natural energy to build on, and avoids spending your entertainment budget on a Saturday that may already be full.
Run it consistently for six weeks. Promote the same start time, invite groups to pre-register, and measure covers, average spend, sales by hour, repeat guests and event costs. When the night works, it becomes part of the pub—not just another poster in the window.

No weekly production headache
A big show that is remarkably easy to run.
Future Karaoke connects the songbook, queue, AI presenter, stage screens, background music, announcements and venue controls in one dedicated system.
The presenter runs the room
Singer calls, introductions, next-up moments, competitions and background music keep the night moving.
Your staff stay in control
Playback, pitch, queue visibility, presenter mode, scheduled announcements and venue messages remain within reach.
Built for the realities of a pub
Switch on a show—not another staffing problem.
Your PA. Your microphones.
Your venue supplies its own PA / sound system and microphones. Run Future Karaoke on a compatible Windows PC or Mac, route its audio and your microphones through a suitable mixer or PA, and connect your lyrics screen. Equipment is not included in the software subscription. Classic Stage is the lightweight option for everyday laptops.

Run it when it earns its place
Weekly karaoke, themed events, competitions, private bookings and special occasions can all use the same installed system.
Keep the venue in the spotlight
Bring your drinks offers, birthdays, announcements and house personality into the show instead of handing the room to generic software.
Sunfly in every subscription
Professional, licensed karaoke tracks powered by Sunfly are included, alongside automated hosting and phone requests. Run complete karaoke nights without sourcing a separate karaoke library or booking a presenter.
Let the singer press play
Pair an iPad or compatible tablet with your Host. When the next song is ready, the Big Red Button lets the singer start their moment.

A clear route through venue licensing.
UK venues will normally need TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS for public use of copyright music. In England and Wales, karaoke before 11pm at an alcohol-licensed venue is generally exempt from separate entertainment authorisation when the audience is no more than 500, but the premises licence and local conditions still matter. Scotland and Northern Ireland use different local entertainment-licensing arrangements.
We will help you identify the questions to put to your council and music supplier before launch, so the first night begins with singers—not paperwork surprises.
