About Waved

Sound technology built from inside hospitality.

Waved started in Oslo in 2018 with engineers, commercial thinkers and a shared frustration: background music was still being managed as if hospitality stayed the same all day.

The technology matters because people and atmosphere matter

What we believe

Atmosphere is operational—not accidental.

01

Start with the guest

The system should make the experience feel more natural, not make the technology more visible.

02

Respect the venue

Different zones, dayparts and concepts need different boundaries.

03

Work with people

Automation handles repetition. Teams keep the intent, judgment and final say.

From Oslo to live venues

Built through close work with hospitality teams and audio partners.

The early product was tested in Oslo venues. Feedback from operators and installers continues to shape how the hardware, software and service work together.
