Thank You DJ

Put every crowd in the driver’s seat—without losing control. Start by creating your event, set boundaries that fit the gig, such as allowed genres, explicit filter, track length caps, per-guest cooldowns, and tipping minimums. Connect Stripe once to accept cashless tips and donations. Generate a reusable QR that you can drop onto table tents, slides, or social posts; print signs from built-in templates or export for your own design. Share the link ahead of time to collect early requests. Run a quick test by scanning the code yourself to verify search, voting, and payment are working on your device and the venue network.

During the show, guests scan and search the catalog through Spotify, add a note for dedications, and submit. The request board updates in real time with votes and contributions. From the DJ dashboard, sort by tips, votes, time submitted, or your custom priority. Approve, defer, or decline with a tap; merge duplicates; cap repeat artists; and stash must-plays into a now, next, later view that mirrors how you build a set. Use shout-outs to schedule quick announcements tied to a track and mark them as delivered when you hit play. If something looks off, hide the request and record the action automatically in event logs for transparency.

After the last track, open the analytics pages to see what moved the room. Review top-requested songs and artists, participation by table or time slot, total tips and average per guest, and trend lines across your residency dates. Export CSVs for accounting and setlist planning. Event logs make it easy to trace decisions, payment outcomes, and moderation actions. Use these insights to prebuild crates for the next booking, tune your signage copy, adjust cooling-off periods, and craft a tighter flow. If you produce recaps, pull audio highlights and pair them with crowd shots to publish a post-event reel.

This workflow scales from weddings to club nights. For a reception, preload first-dance essentials, enable dedications, and keep slow tracks on a timed window. For a corporate mixer, require clean edits, restrict explicit content, and emphasize brand-safe selections. For fundraisers, highlight the tip-to-request funnel and show a live goal. For school dances, turn on stricter moderation and short track caps. Wherever you play, you keep one QR for every gig, one queue to manage, and one loop of learn, adjust, and deliver a better show next time.
