The counter menu
Coffee and pastry boards in portrait or landscape — the templates are designed to be readable from the ordering line, and the readability checker proves it before you publish.
Solutions · Cafés
A café menu board as easy to change as your chalkboard.
The chalkboard charm without the chalk: update the soup, 86 the croissants, and flip to the afternoon board — from your phone, mid-rush. Runs on any TV, free for one screen.
A finished café screen
Readable from the queue. Easy to change from behind the counter.
This finished reference shows the full hierarchy a café board needs: identity, drinks, food, prices, photography, and an offer without turning into a spreadsheet.- Portrait and landscape boards
- Daily-case and sold-out changes from a phone
- Morning, lunch, and quiet-hour scenes
What goes on the screens
02
The daily case
Whatever baked this morning is today's menu. Edit two lines from your phone while the first pot brews; the board updates before the doors open.
03
Sold out, gracefully
When the last muffin goes, flag it once and the board dims or hides it. Regulars stop asking; the line keeps moving.
04
Beans, retail, and merch
A second scene promotes the bags of beans and gift cards that actually grow a café. Rotate it in every 30 seconds — no second TV required.
05
Community board
Open-mic Thursday, the book club, the fundraiser poster — a scrolling announcement ticker and QR codes handle the bulletin board that used to eat your counter wall.
06
Wi-Fi & ordering QR
A QR widget for the Wi-Fi or mobile ordering sits in the corner of any board, sized to scan from the line. Free plan includes it.
One venue day
Scheduled once. Resolved locally.
Scenes switch using the venue timezone and travel with the cached release, so the daypart logic keeps working offline.

01My café is tiny — is one screen enough to bother?+
One screen is the most common café setup, and it's exactly what the free plan covers: one live screen, forever, with a small watermark. No card, no trial clock.
02Can it hang portrait behind the counter?+
Yes — portrait boards are first-class (there's a café portrait template built in). Set the aspect when you create the board and the editor canvas matches your mounted TV.
03I change prices a few times a year. Why software?+
Because the daily case, the sold-out flags, and the afternoon flip change every day. The price list is the boring part; the living part of the menu is what a board earns its keep on.
04What's the cheapest way to run it?+
A TV you already own plus a $30 Fire TV Stick, or any old laptop running the browser player. Software free on one screen — total new spend can be under $40.
