Programming music for fancy bars/restaurants question

From what i can gather the staff of the venue i have supplied this service for already are very happy with it. The girls like the soul music and the fact they rarely hear the same music repeating over and over again, i made a 50s rock and rockabilly playlist for one of the bar tenders that he seems to really like, two of the other members of staff listen to heavy music (Deerhunter and metal etc) so i don't think i can appease them too much (one of them likes Johnny Cash and Lee Hazlewood, so i can work with that)





Customers have also commented that it is nice to hear more interesting music in the venue, according to the owner at least.





Hard to tell whether it has made a big difference as i programmed the music for the opening of the actual venue itself, but they have been fully booked out since opening, the tips have been crazy and the customers are exactly the right kind of people that this place was pitched at.





it is definitely more on the sound/atmosphere maintenance tip, as you say.
