DJ Request App for Bars
One Queue, Paid Requests, Less Chaos at the Booth
Bar DJs use DJ Request so guests request via QR instead of shouting or handing notes. Set a price per request, keep one queue, and earn more without leaving the booth.
Why Bar DJs Use DJ Request
Bars are high-energy and request-heavy. A dedicated request app keeps everything in one place: no lost napkins, no mixed-up texts. Add paid requests and you filter joke requests while adding revenue.
QR at the Bar
Post your QR on the bar or a sign. Guests scan and request—no need to approach the booth.
Paid Requests
Set $5–$10 per request. Cuts joke requests and adds steady extra income per night.
One Queue
All requests in one list. Accept or reject from your phone or laptop; no shouting over the bar.
Bar-Friendly Flow
Quick setup per night or recurring bar night. One link or QR per residency.
Bar DJ Benefits

Bar DJ FAQ
How fast can I set up DJ Request at a bar?
Most bar DJs can create an event, connect Stripe, and print a QR poster in under 15 minutes. After that, you can reuse the same QR each week for a residency or create new events for one-off nights.
What happens if the internet is spotty at my bar?
Requests are handled through the web, so you'll want a reasonably stable connection. Many bar DJs run DJ Request on a tablet or phone connected to a reliable Wi‑Fi or hotspot to keep requests flowing even if guest Wi‑Fi is weak.
Can I limit the types of songs guests can request?
You stay in full control of the final playlist. You can simply ignore songs that don't match the bar's format, energy level, or content guidelines, so the night still sounds like your brand and the venue's brand.
Does DJ Request work for multiple bar locations?
Yes. You can create separate events for different locations or nights and track requests and earnings by event. This works well for bar chains, promoters, or DJs who work several venues.
How does DJ Request compare to texting the DJ?
Unlike texting, DJ Request keeps everything in one queue, adds optional payment, and stops your number from being shared around the room. It's structured, searchable, and professional instead of a flood of random messages.
