Know what the room wants to hear.
Ferox VinylOS is the catalogue and floor-operations system for vinyl and other music bars. It captures every play and every guest request, shows which records the room wants and which are dead weight on the shelf, and turns that into a buying list.
Two assets a bar cannot see today.
Which records the room actually wants, and which records only take up space. VinylOS makes both visible.
Guest tablet
One shared iPad in the room. Free search across artist, album, label and genre, filters by decade and format, and curated sets that rebuild themselves from data. Tap a record to queue it and the bartender sees it.
A search that finds nothing still counts
When a guest asks for something the shelf does not hold, one tap records the request. Unserved demand goes straight to the buying list.
Catalogue from a photo
Photograph the sleeve. VinylOS reads artist, album, label, catalogue number and year, and finds the exact pressing on Discogs. The operator confirms before anything is published.
Play capture
An NFC tag in the sleeve, tapped against a small reader at the turntable. Duration is recorded between taps, which tells you more than a play count.
Analytics and buying list
Demand against shelf composition by genre, turnover per record, dead stock and requests that could not be served, turned into a buying list with the best market prices.
A record pulled at minute eight is not a record the room liked.
Every play is tapped in and tapped out at the turntable, so VinylOS knows how long each record stayed on.
That separates the records the room listens to from the ones it tolerates.

VinylOS starts useful with no history and no hardware, and gets sharper with every night.
