Chinese takeaway menu board on your screen
A Chinese menu is the longest in the trade and no screen will hold all of it. So the board shows what people actually stand and read: starters, the chicken and the beef, rice and noodles, and the set meals that are most of the takings. The rest stays on the paper menu they take home.
One screen free, for as long as you like, with a small counterboard.com band on the board, no card. Without the band £14 a month for one screen, and £7 for each screen after it. No VAT charged.
Why shops move
You make the changes, not us
Most signage companies hand you a screen and keep the software. A new price, a line you have sold out of, a special for the weekend: you email it over and wait, and it goes up when it suits them.
Counterboard hands you the keys. Changing the set meals for two and for four is typing the new number into your phone behind the counter: the board is drawn again with it and every screen in the shop has it in about two minutes. We draw your board for you, with your prices on it, at no extra cost. We just do not keep hold of it afterwards.
Your first board is free. Each paid screen includes 2 price updates a month. More cost £1 each, sold in packs from £5.
What you get on day one
Your board, drawn for you, in about two minutes
You do not start at a blank screen and you do not hire a designer. Say how the board should look, type your prices or photograph the list you have, and press one button. About two minutes later a finished board is on the screen: your name across the top and every price printed on it, in sections for Mains, Starters and Set Meal, or whatever yours are called. Not quite right? Say what to change, in words, and it is drawn again.
A long menu is two boards, not one crammed one: every screen you put up comes with a board drawn for it, so the starters and the mains go on one screen and the rice, noodles and set meals on the next.
Getting your prices on it
Photograph the menu you already have
Take a picture of your printed board, your leaflet or your delivery listing. The prices are read off it in seconds and come back typed out, for you to check before the board is drawn. No typing out a hundred lines, which is the reason most shops never get round to this.
You do not have to do even that yourself the first time. Send us the photograph and we set your first board up for you, at no extra cost, before you have paid us anything.
What you need
Probably the screen you already have
A smart screen runs it on its own. An older one needs a streaming stick in the HDMI socket, about £30 from any shop, or we send you one set up. Each screen keeps the menu on itself, so the board stays up when the line goes down. The price goes by how many screens you put up: £14 a month for one screen, and £7 for each screen after it.
