Change the prices on your TV menu from your phone

The price of your milk went up again. On a printed board that is a reprint or a strip of tape. If somebody else designed your TV board, it is an email and a wait. Here it is a few numbers typed into your phone behind the counter.

Fourteen days free, no card. Works on any TV with a web browser, or any TV with an HDMI socket and a streaming stick.

The board of Bean & Gone Coffee, an example coffee shop, with coffee, other drinks, food
Drawn by Counterboard AI in about a minute, from a few words and a price list. Bean & Gone Coffee is an example shop: yours is drawn to your own description, with your name and your prices on it.

Why this is easy here

The board is yours to change

You are the designer. You say what you want in your own words: the colours, your name across the top, what goes where. AI designs the finished board in about a minute. Not quite right? Say what to change and it is drawn again. There is no design software to learn, and nobody else trying to guess what is in your head.

Because you made the board by saying what you wanted, you change it the same way. Nobody to ring, nobody to wait for, and no design software to open.

More than prices

A new dish, a new look, a special for the weekend

A new look is asked for in words too: “Make it red and gold for Christmas”, or “Put the meal deal at the top.” Everything you do not mention stays as it is, prices included. You see the new board before the TV does, every time.

Changing prices is free and unlimited on every plan: change one price or every price, as often as your prices move. A new look, or adding and removing items, is one change a month, included; more of those are bought one at a time inside Counterboard.

How it compares

The other ways to change a price

A printed board

A reprint every time prices move, and a wait for the printer. Until then it is tape, a marker pen, or selling at the old price.

A TV board somebody else designed

An email to the designer or the signage company, then a wait until they get to it, and often a bill for the change.

Counterboard

Your phone, behind the counter. You check the new board and send it to the TV yourself, the same day, usually within minutes.

Questions

What people ask

Does changing prices cost anything?

No. Changing prices is free and unlimited on every plan, as often as your prices move. Only a new look, or adding and removing items, counts as your one change a month.

Can staff change the prices too?

Yes. Add them in Counterboard and they sign in on their own phone. You decide who can change what.

What if I make a mistake?

Nothing reaches the TV until you have seen the new board and chosen it. If a price is wrong, keep the old board and try again.

I have three screens. Do I change each one?

No. Change the board once and every screen showing that board gets the new prices.

Can I change prices from a computer?

Yes. The same steps work in any web browser, on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
