Tacos by the one or the three, burritos by the filling, bowls, sides and a salsa bar. A taqueria menu is a grid of choices, and a printed one makes people stand at the counter reading. Drawn for your list, each heading gets its own panel and the prices sit where the eye looks for them.
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
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 taco specials and the filling prices 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 a minute. We draw your board for you, with your prices on it, at no extra cost. We just do not keep hold of it afterwards.
What you get on day one
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 a minute later a finished board is on the screen: your name across the top and every price printed on it, in sections for Tacos, Burritos and Sides, or whatever yours are called. Not quite right? Say what to change, in words, and it is drawn again.
Say bright, painted tiles and chillies, or dark and modern, and that is the board that comes back, with your own dishes on it.
Getting your prices on it
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
A smart TV 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.
