A staff party where nobody sits down
From the board to the interns, everyone's taste is different. Let them settle it on their own phones.
A staff party is a job with two bosses: the people on the dancefloor and the person who hired you. The organiser wants it to stay appropriate, sales wants something entirely different from finance, and you are in between with a setlist you planned in advance.
Letting requests come in by QR code tells you what the room actually wants without anyone coming to stand beside you. And because you approve everything, the party stays inside the boundaries you agreed with the client.
Sound familiar?
- Three generations of colleagues with completely different taste
- The organiser walks up with a new request every ten minutes
- By eleven the floor is empty and you don't know why
How DJ Request fixes it
Every department joins in
Scan the QR on the table and request. No app, no account, no fuss.
You filter up front
Agree the no-go list with the client. What doesn't fit never reaches the decks.
Proof of what worked
Afterwards you can see exactly what was requested — gold for next year's booking.
How to approach a company party
On corporate bookings, predictability matters more than it does at a private party.
- 1
Agree what is off limits beforehand
Some companies have firm boundaries. Pin them down before you start and you never have to explain anything mid-party.
- 2
Put the code on the high tables
People cluster around them. A card there gets scanned many times more often than a poster by the entrance.
- 3
Share the link with the organiser in advance
If they put it in the internal announcement, the first requests arrive before the party even starts.
- 4
Hand over the summary afterwards
A list of what was requested is a strong argument for the next booking: it shows you read the room.
Frequently asked questions about company parties
Can the client follow along?
You can share the link to the request page with anyone. The dashboard where approvals happen stays yours, so you keep control over what actually gets played.
Does this work at a daytime corporate event?
Yes. At conferences and drinks receptions it is often used to steer the break music. You simply set tighter limits than you would for an evening party.
How many requests should I expect?
Mostly it depends on how visible the code is. At a party of a hundred people with a card on every table, a few dozen requests is completely normal.
