Encore

Built for the bar-gig residency

Your setlist, your prices, your queue.

Pay-to-request from the 60 songs you actually play. $5 base, $10 crowd-favorite, $20 priority. Tips on the same QR. No more Free-Bird-yeller derailing your set — if it's not on the menu, it can't be requested.

Ten-minute setup, every Friday.

01

Upload your setlist.

Paste 60 songs from a spreadsheet or type them one at a time. Set base price ($5), flag crowd favorites ($10), and enable priority ($20) as an add-on.

02

Print the table tent.

One letter-size QR poster, 300 DPI, error-correction H. Laminate it, tape it to every table, tape one to the stage monitor for the barstool crowd.

03

Mention it once per set.

“If you want a specific song, scan the QR. Five bucks gets you in the queue.” That's it. Hidden queue fills up by song three.

Why bars bands run this.

The Free Bird tax.

Flag the songs you hate at $25–$50. Either nobody pays it (you never play it), or somebody does (you get paid stupid money for 30 seconds of outro). Liberating.

Priority tier for the bachelorette party.

Priority at $20 lets the table celebrating an engagement bump their song to the front. Hidden from other tables — it's just a “and now” transition in your set.

Auto-refunds for anything you don't play.

Set ended before you got to a paid request? Auto-refund at 24 hours. The fan isn't out money for a song they didn't hear. Zero manual work for the band.

Tips on the same QR.

Apple Pay, card, Venmo, Cash App — all chips on one page. The fan picks what's fastest for them. You don't force anyone into a single payment flow.

Follower list built in.

Every tipper and requester gets the option to subscribe for show announcements. Next residency starts and you can email the crowd directly.

Works with your existing payment setup.

Keep your Venmo and Cash App handles — they show as chips next to Apple Pay. Nobody's locked into one rail.

Common questions.

How long does setup take the first time?

About 20 minutes: sign up, Stripe Connect onboarding (5 min), upload setlist (10 min), print the QR (5 min). After that, adding songs or tweaking prices is ~30 seconds.

Can I set different prices for different songs?

Yes. Each song has its own base price (default $5), and you can flag a song as “favorite” ($10) or “priority-only” (any amount you set). Mix and match.

What happens if two requests come in for the same song?

You see both in the queue with timestamps and prices. Play the song once, mark both as “played.” Both requesters are charged. Or refund the second one if you want.

Can I run requests AND tips at the same time?

Yes, that's the default. Tips and paid requests are separate flows on the same page. Fans pick what they want. Tippers don't see requests as an upsell; requesters don't see tips as a downgrade.

How fast do payouts hit my bank?

Stripe Connect payouts hit in 1–2 business days after each transaction clears. Standard Stripe timing.

What if the bar doesn't want QR codes on the tables?

Some venues are weird about it. In that case, put the QR on the stage monitor and mention it between songs. Works almost as well. Or stick a sticker on your guitar strap.

Your next Friday, paid differently.

Free forever. Print a QR. Play your set. Watch the queue fill up.
