01
The main menu board
Your full menu, designed on a free-position canvas — not squeezed into someone else's template. Prices bind to one data table, so a change updates every screen and every scene that shows the item.
Solutions · Restaurants
Menu boards that keep up with your kitchen.
86 an item from the pass, change a price from the office, flip breakfast to lunch without touching a ladder. CanvasRelay runs restaurant menu boards on any TV — and the free plan covers your first screen.
A complete counter menu
The menu looks designed while the data stays changeable.
The finished Urban Grill reference pairs TV-scale hierarchy with the operational content a restaurant changes: products, prices, offers, and sold-out state.- One linked price can update every scene
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner dayparts
- Complete releases continue through Wi-Fi loss
What goes on the screens
02
Sold-out, handled
Mark an item sold out from your phone and the board strikes, dims, or hides it everywhere — your choice, per board. No more 'sorry, we're out' conversations the menu could have prevented.
03
Daypart flips
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, late-night: build each scene once and schedule it. TVs switch on time automatically — including offline, because the schedule lives on the player.
04
Specials & promos
A rotating specials scene, a countdown to your event night, a photo slideshow of the dishes you want to move. Drop a QR code for your online ordering next to the total.
05
Menu photo → board
Photograph the printed menu you already have and AI extracts sections, items, and prices into editable records — you review every row, then lay it onto a template automatically.
06
Multi-location consistency
One organization, every location's screens. Corporate publishes the new price list once; each store's TVs follow their boards, and you can see which screens updated from the dashboard.
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.

01Can staff update it, or just me?+
Anyone you invite — with roles. Give a manager menu-edit rights without publish rights, or let a shift lead toggle sold-out items and nothing else. Every change is audit-logged with who made it.
02What hardware do I need per screen?+
Any TV plus a $30 Fire TV Stick, an Android TV box, a Raspberry Pi, or a mini PC. No proprietary player boxes. If your TVs are already mounted, you're buying sticks, not screens.
03What happens when the internet goes down during a rush?+
Nothing visible. Players cache the full menu board on the device — images, fonts, prices — and keep playing indefinitely. Changes queue up and apply when the connection returns.
04Does it work with my POS?+
CanvasRelay keeps its own linked menu data (import by photo, paste, or CSV). Direct POS sync is on the roadmap; CSV import covers the 'my POS exports a spreadsheet' case today.
