Every project starts with understanding your concept, your guests, and how the space will operate. We help define the right system for your goals and prepare a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM), so you have a realistic budget range before design begins.
What’s includedOur team walks your space with your on-site contact, tests reported issues, and documents existing equipment, signal paths, and control systems. Whether the venue is open for business, being remodeled, or under construction, you get a clear picture of what’s working and a preliminary plan for what’s next.
What’s includedWe translate your vision into fully engineered audio, video, control, and network systems. Designs move from schematic concept through design development and are coordinated with architects and other trades, so the system fits the space and the budget.
What’s includedSee your system before it’s built. Our CAD team produces detailed drawing sets showing device locations, elevations, wiring, power, and mounting details, giving contractors everything they need to install it right the first time.
What’s includedHow a room sounds matters as much as the speakers in it. We measure room acoustics, including reverberation (RT60), and work alongside your interior designers to recommend treatment that improves clarity without compromising the look of the space.
What’s includedOur project managers and field teams handle installation, programming, and commissioning, testing every system to confirm it performs as designed. At handoff you receive user guides, as-built drawings, system files, and staff training.
What’s includedNeed equipment without a full project? We supply professional audio and AV equipment directly, backed by our vendor relationships and the expertise to recommend the right gear for your space.
What’s includedKeep your system performing long after opening. The AV Care Plan includes an annual on-site visit, firmware updates, remote monitoring, and quarterly reports, all proactive rather than reactive.
What’s includedSound for dining & nightlife
A great restaurant changes through the night. Lunch is relaxed, dinner builds, and the bar picks up after ten. We design sound systems that follow that energy, keeping the room alive while guests can still hear each other across the table.
From neighborhood taverns to multi-location restaurant groups, we work with owners, chefs, and designers to create audio that fits the concept, disappears into the architecture, and is easy for staff to manage during a busy service.
Even, clear sound at every table, so music sets the mood without overpowering conversation.
More energy where it belongs, with zones that can run louder than the dining room.
Separate control for private rooms and events, without affecting the rest of the restaurant.
Outdoor audio that carries the atmosphere outside and respects the neighbors.
Measurement and treatment recommendations for rooms full of glass, brick, and hard surfaces.
Simple controls that let staff adjust music and ambiance as service changes through the night.
Restaurants open on a deadline, so our process keeps design, installation, and tuning on schedule for opening night.
We learn your menu, music, service style, and how the room should feel at each hour.
Room acoustics, speaker placement, and zones are designed together with your architect and designer.
Installation coordinated with your contractor’s schedule and the rest of the build-out.
Every zone is tuned before doors open, and your team learns the controls in minutes.
West Loop, Chicago
Nestled in a cobblestone courtyard in Chicago’s West Loop, Trivoli Tavern blends American tavern charm with rich continental flair. For this moody, upscale space, we delivered a fully integrated AV experience that complements its vintage-industrial ambiance, from discreet speaker placement and ambient lighting control to background music and dynamic zone management, without disrupting the tavern’s timeless aesthetic.
Las Vegas, Nevada
A French-inspired steakhouse with velvet-and-brass elegance, Bavette’s needed AV that matched its moody glamour. We delivered discreet, high-fidelity sound and ambient lighting scenes that adapt to the flow of service, enhancing the vibe without disrupting the aesthetic.
Chicago, Illinois
Housed in the historic LaSalle Powerhouse, Hawksmoor Chicago merges British steakhouse tradition with bold Midwestern character. Across 16,500 square feet of restored space, we designed a sound and control system that adapts across dining areas, bars, and private rooms, delivering clarity and a consistent mood through discreet ceiling speakers and user-friendly control panels without disturbing the architecture.
Yes. That balance is the core of restaurant sound. More speakers at lower volume, careful placement, and attention to room acoustics keep the atmosphere full while conversation stays easy.
Often, yes. Hard surfaces like glass, brick, and concrete make rooms echo. We measure the room’s acoustics and work with your designer on treatment that improves clarity without changing the look you want.
Yes. We design in zones, so the bar, dining room, private rooms, and patio can each have their own volume and music, adjusted by staff with simple controls.
Yes. We work with restaurant groups opening multiple locations, keeping the sound and the staff experience consistent from one location to the next while adapting to each space.
As early as possible, ideally during design. Speaker locations, wiring, and acoustics are much easier to get right before ceilings close and finishes go in.

Pineapple Audio is a hospitality AV consultant and installer serving the Caribbean. We design, install, tune, and support sound systems for resorts, hotels, beach clubs, restaurants, and bars.
From early-stage AV consulting and system design through equipment procurement, installation, commissioning, and ongoing support, we work with owners, operators, architects, and interior designers to build audio systems around the venue, the guest experience, and the way the space actually runs. Entertainment lighting can also be integrated as part of the overall AV scope.
Our Caribbean work moves between open-air beachfront hospitality and some of the region’s most celebrated nightlife, from a beachfront resort and beach house in Grenada to a landmark cocktail bar in Old San Juan. Every project is designed around the setting, the climate, and the way guests actually use the space.
In St. George’s, Grenada, Silversands Beach House pairs open-air dining and lounge spaces with uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea. Pineapple Audio designed and installed a weather-ready sound system that carries relaxed energy from sunset into the evening while blending discreetly into the architecture.
On Calle San Sebastián in Old San Juan, La Factoría is one of Puerto Rico’s most celebrated bars, a series of connected rooms that each set their own mood. Pineapple Audio designed and installed audio that lets every room keep its own character while the music carries the night from cocktails to dancing.
On Grand Anse Beach in St. George’s, Grenada, Silversands Grand Anse is a contemporary luxury resort built around a dramatic infinity pool that runs toward the sea. Pineapple Audio designed and installed audio across the resort’s social spaces, with weather-ready equipment and zoned control so each area holds its own mood from morning to late evening.
Pineapple Audio supports hospitality projects from early planning through installation, tuning, and long-term support. We work as part of the broader project team to make sure the AV system is coordinated with the architecture, interior design, operations, and guest experience from the beginning.
We help define the right audio and AV approach for the venue before equipment is selected or installed. That includes system planning, loudspeaker placement, zoning, equipment specifications, infrastructure requirements, and coordination with the architect, interior designer, lighting team, and other project partners.
Once the system is designed, Pineapple Audio can manage equipment procurement and help keep the specified system consistent through the construction process. We select equipment based on the needs of the space, the operating model, and the performance expected from the finished venue.
Our team installs and integrates the system on-site, coordinating with the construction schedule and other trades as needed. The goal is not only reliable performance, but clean integration into the architecture and interior design.
A hospitality sound system is not finished when the equipment turns on. Pineapple Audio tunes and commissions each system around the actual space, balancing coverage, volume, tonal character, and transitions between zones so the venue sounds intentional throughout.
Hospitality venues evolve after opening. Staff changes, programming changes, equipment issues, and new operational needs can all affect the system over time. Pineapple Audio provides ongoing support to help keep systems performing consistently after installation.
For hospitality concepts where lighting is part of the entertainment experience, Pineapple Audio can incorporate entertainment lighting into the broader AV scope. This is particularly relevant for nightlife venues, bars, lounges, and spaces that transition from daytime or dining service into higher-energy evening programming.
The right hospitality sound system depends on how the space is meant to feel, how guests move through it, and how the energy changes throughout the day. A hotel lobby, rooftop pool club, chef-driven restaurant, and nightclub should not all be approached the same way.
Hotels as destinations. Caribbean resorts and hotels are often built around open-air restaurants, beach bars, and pool decks that run like standalone venues and set the tone for the entire guest experience. Pineapple Audio designs multi-zone systems that let each area operate on its own schedule and energy level while staying simple for hotel staff to run.
Rooftops and pool decks. Outdoor spaces in the islands face sun, salt air, humidity, and hurricane season, so they need marine-grade and weather-appropriate equipment, careful placement, and controlled coverage—enough energy for guests on the deck without unnecessarily sending sound into neighboring properties.
Restaurants. The goal is usually consistent energy without sacrificing conversation: zoning between the bar and dining room, controlled coverage near tables, and enough headroom for the room to get louder later in the evening without sounding harsh or uneven.
Live music and entertainment. Venues with stages, DJs, or late-night programming demand more output, coverage, tuning, and reliability, often with performance infrastructure and entertainment lighting as part of one coordinated AV design.
Across all of these environments, the objective is the same: create a system that supports the concept, works naturally for the staff, and feels intentional to the guest.
Hospitality AV is rarely designed in isolation. Pineapple Audio works with owners, operators, restaurant groups, hotel brands, architects, interior designers, developers, and other project partners to make sure the AV system supports both the creative vision and the practical needs of the venue.
Hotel projects often require AV systems that serve multiple environments while still supporting a consistent brand experience. Pineapple Audio wrote AV brand standards for Hyatt and Virgin Hotels, and across the Caribbean has delivered audio for resort and beachfront properties such as Silversands Grand Anse and Silversands Beach House in Grenada.
Our role can include coordinating audio across restaurants, bars, lounges, public spaces, rooftops, pools, and other guest-facing areas while making sure the system remains practical for hotel staff to operate and support.
As AV design-build partner for hospitality groups across the U.S. and the Caribbean, Pineapple Audio helps restaurant groups develop repeatable AV standards while adapting each system to the conditions of the individual venue.
That approach allows operators to maintain a recognizable guest experience across multiple locations without forcing the exact same system into spaces where it does not make sense.
We regularly collaborate with architects and interior designers early in the project so speaker placement, equipment locations, cabling, control interfaces, and other AV requirements can be coordinated before they become construction problems.
AV equipment should support the design of the space, not compete with it. Early coordination gives the project team more options for integrating technology cleanly into ceilings, walls, millwork, and other architectural elements.
For owners and developers, Pineapple Audio can help translate the concept and operating goals of the venue into a practical AV strategy. We consider how the space will function at opening, how staff will use the system every day, and how the venue may need to evolve over time.
Whether we join during early design, construction, or an upgrade of an existing venue, the goal is to create a system that works for the people designing the space, the people operating it, and the guests experiencing it.
Pineapple Audio supports hospitality projects throughout the Caribbean, including Grenada and Puerto Rico. We regularly coordinate travel, equipment shipping and on-site installation for island projects.
It depends on the size of the property, the number of audio zones, indoor and outdoor areas, performance requirements, equipment selection, and island logistics such as shipping, customs and travel. We develop the system around the specific project rather than starting from a fixed package.
Both. Pineapple Audio can handle AV consulting, system design, equipment procurement, installation, tuning, commissioning and ongoing support, or join an existing project where the AV scope still needs to be developed, installed, upgraded or corrected.
With marine-grade and weather-resistant equipment selected for sun, salt air, humidity and hurricane season, plus careful speaker placement, zoning and level control, so the space has the right energy for guests while the sound stays focused on the property. Every outdoor space is assessed on its own conditions.
Yes. We have written AV brand standards for Hyatt and Virgin Hotels USA and work as AV design-build partner for multi-location restaurant groups, adapting a consistent standard to each location's architecture and operations.
Ideally during the design phase, before ceilings, walls, millwork, electrical infrastructure and equipment locations are finalized. Early involvement gives the whole team more flexibility and avoids changes later in construction.
