Multi-Tenancy Architecture

Organization (tenant)
└── Venues (physical locations)
    └── Zones (audio outputs: lobby, restaurant, gym)
        └── Schedules, Now Playing, Messages

Critical Constraints

1. iOS PWA Limitation: No background audio → Need native Capacitor app
2. No Spotify/YouTube: ToS prohibits commercial use
3. Gapless Playback: 45ms browser gaps → Use 35ms crossfades
4. Offline Required: Venues need music even during internet outages

Feature Priorities

Phase 1 (MVP)

• Content management (upload, organize, playlists)
• Audio player with crossfades and ducking
• Drag-drop scheduling calendar
• Multi-zone dashboard

Phase 2

• Weather automation
• AI voice commands
• Native iOS/Android apps
• Advanced analytics

Phase 3

• Generative soundscapes (Mubert integration)
• IoT integrations (lighting, sensors)
• White-label options

When Making Decisions

Always consider:

• Reliability - Music must never stop unexpectedly
• Simplicity - Venue staff are not technical
• Cost - Keep infrastructure costs low for healthy margins
• Offline-first - Assume internet will fail
• Multi-tenancy - Data isolation between organizations
