Lucky Voice

What Lucky Voice does

Lucky Voice operates a chain of private-room karaoke bars in the UK and Dubai, headquartered in London. The company was founded in 2005 by Martha Fox and, as of 2026, runs seven owned/operated venues: five in central and east London (Holborn, Islington, Liverpool Street, Soho, Waterloo), one in Brighton, and one in Dubai. Each venue offers private karaoke rooms for 2–30 guests equipped with two microphones, touch-screen interfaces, an extensive song catalogue refreshed monthly, and the proprietary in-booth 'Thirsty?' button for ordering cocktails, food, and drinks directly to the room. Cocktail bars, late-night operations, and food (pizzas, bao buns, sliders, bar snacks) accompany the karaoke rooms, with bespoke packages for birthdays, hen/stag dos, kids' parties, dates, corporate events, and team building. Revenue comes from per-person/per-room karaoke hire (peak/off-peak and minimum-spend mechanics), in-venue F&B, gift vouchers, and add-on experiences (brunch, cocktail masterclasses, quiz nights).

The business is operated through two UK private limited companies: Lucky Voice Soho Limited (operating company for venues and the website) and Lucky Voice Group Limited (trademark holder). The technology stack centres on the Collins booking system (hosted by DesignMyNight) for reservations and payments, Shopify for the home-products e-commerce site, and Insightly CRM for B2B enquiries. Distribution is omnichannel: the own-venue bar network plus an actively-recruited franchise programme (targeting hotel owners, leisure operators, and entrepreneurs), B2B karaoke software licensing via karaokeforbusiness.com, Shopify-powered home karaoke product sales, and direct corporate event sales. Marketing spans SEO, organic social (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X), email via CampaignMaster, and paid retargeting through Facebook Pixels and AdRoll. The reported headcount is small (11–50), consistent with a lean corporate team backed by frontline venue staff not captured in that range.

Core offering

Lucky Voice operates private karaoke bar venues offering dedicated private rooms for 2–30 guests, with touch-screen song selection, a monthly-updated catalogue of thousands of songs, and an iconic "Thirsty?" button that delivers cocktails, food, and drinks to the booth. Beyond room hire, it sells food and beverage packages, themed experiences (brunch, cocktail masterclass, quiz nights, kids' parties), corporate and private hire, home karaoke products, and licenses its proprietary karaoke software to other businesses via karaokeforbusiness.com and a franchise programme.

Product overview

Lucky Voice operates a portfolio of private karaoke bar venues combined with proprietary karaoke technology. The core product is Private Karaoke Room Hire across six UK venues (Holborn, Islington, Liverpool Street, Soho, Waterloo, Brighton) and one Dubai venue, supported by room-level features including the "Thirsty?" button for in-room food and drink ordering, touch-screen interfaces, and a continuously updated song catalogue. The portfolio extends to experiential add-ons: Corporate Events & Venue Hire, Kids & Teens Parties, Karaoke Brunch, Cocktail Masterclass, and Quiz Nights. Two B2B arms operate alongside the venues: Karaoke Software Licensing (via karaokeforbusiness.com) offers Lucky Voice's karaoke technology, software, and operational frameworks to third-party venues and franchisees worldwide, while the Franchise programme enables new Lucky Voice venue openings. A Home Karaoke line (Lucky Voice Shop) sells consumer karaoke products. The offering is unified by a single brand identity but segmented into consumer-facing venue operations and B2B technology licensing.
