Your Room, Your Rules, Zero Chaos

Digital singer queues, tip-to-bump priority, and real-time crowd reactions — manage your room from one dashboard while the party runs itself.

Picture This

Friday karaoke night at a packed bar. 40+ people connected through the QR code on every table. The queue is 12 singers deep — all managed digitally. No more paper slips, no more "when's my turn?" interruptions.

A birthday group wants to jump the line. They tip $20 to bump their song next. Your dashboard pings — you approve it, announce the birthday girl, and the crowd cheers. Throughout the night, tips pour in: $5 here to move up, $3 there just for running a great room.

By closing time, you've earned $230 in tips. The bar owner pulls you aside — they noticed people stayed longer because they could track their spot in the queue from their phones.

They want you back every Friday.

Why iPerform Works for Karaoke Hosts

Run your room like a pro. No paper slips, no chaos.

Digital Singer Queue

Singers add themselves to the queue from their phones. No paper slips, no walking up to the booth. You see the full queue on your dashboard.

Tip to Sing Next

Singers can tip to bump their song up in the queue. You control the threshold. Birthday groups and eager singers keep the energy (and tips) high.

Song Search for Singers

Singers browse and search for songs from their phones before adding themselves to the queue. Less booth interruptions, better song selections.

Crowd Reactions

The audience sends live reactions during performances. Great singers get cheered on, shy first-timers get encouraged. The room energy becomes visible.

Queue Visibility

Singers can see their position in the queue from their phones. No more "am I next?" questions. They stay, order drinks, and wait their turn.

Venue Partnership Data

Show the venue owner how your karaoke nights drive engagement: connected users, average stay time, queue depth. Data that gets you rebooked.

Pro Tips for Karaoke Host Success

Display the Queue on a Screen

If the venue has a TV, display the queue. When people see their name moving up, they stay longer, order more drinks, and tell their friends to come.

Set a Tip Threshold for Bumps

Set a minimum tip to jump the queue (e.g., $5). This prevents cheap bumps while keeping the feature valuable. Birthday groups will happily pay $15-20 to skip ahead.

Cap the Queue

If the queue gets past 15-20 singers, close it temporarily. Nothing kills the vibe like telling someone they're 25th in line. A capped queue keeps expectations realistic.

Warm Up the Room

Start the night with a few strong singers or sing one yourself. A cold room with an empty queue is the hardest part. Once 3-4 people are in the queue, momentum takes over.

Track Your Best Nights

Use post-event analytics to identify your best nights: which songs got the most reactions, when the queue was deepest, and which nights had the most tips. Double down on what works.
