A street food menu changes with the pitch. A festival price is not a Tuesday market price, the special sells out by two, and the board painted on the side of the van cannot keep up with any of it. Put a screen in the hatch and the menu is whatever you said it was this morning, changed from your phone between serving.
Fourteen days free, no card. After that £14 a month for one screen, £22 for two, £32 for three or four, and £45 for five or more. 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 prices for each event, and what has sold out 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 Burgers, Make it a Meal and Sides, or whatever yours are called. Not quite right? Say what to change, in words, and it is drawn again.
Make a board for the festival and one for the weekly market, each drawn from its own list, and switch the screen between them from your phone. A TV or monitor in the van or your unit and a streaming stick is all it needs, and the board keeps showing with no signal at all.
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, from £14 a month for one.
