The posted link to youtube’s fair use policy has nothing to do with the use you are describing. If you own a cafe and are using music in the background to enhance the experience of your customers then that is definitely not considered ‘fair use’ and is a business use that requires royalties to be paid.
If you are the owner of a cafe based in the US you would of course have to pay BMI and ASCAP for the use of the music in your business, no matter what the source of the music.
