Change your TV or screen 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 screen board, it is an email and a wait. Here it is a few numbers typed into your phone behind the counter.

The board of Bean & Gone Coffee, an example coffee shop, with coffee, other drinks, food — Drawn by Counterboard AI in about two minutes, 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 two minutes. 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 screen does, every time.

A price change is one credit, on every plan, whether you move one price or every price on the board. A new look, or adding and removing items, is two. Each paid screen includes 2 price updates a month. More cost £1 each, sold in packs from £5. The included ones start again on the 1st.

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 screen 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 screen yourself, the same day, usually within minutes.

What it costs

Priced by how many screens you put up

One screen free, for as long as you like, with a small counterboard.com band on the board, and no card. Without the band, so much a screen: £14 a month for one screen, and £7 for each screen after it. No VAT charged. The price list on the front page shows it in dollars and euros too.

Every screen gets the same dashboard and the same boards; what changes with the price is how many screens you put up and how many credits come with them. Each screen gets a board drawn for it, free. After that everything we draw is credits, and a credit is a pound: a price change is one, a new look or an item added, taken off or renamed is two, a whole new board is three. Each paid screen includes two credits a month, and they start again on the 1st; more can be bought inside Counterboard, ten for £9 or more in a bigger pack, with no change to your plan. No contract: cancel any time.

Questions

What people ask

Does changing prices cost anything?

A price change is one credit, however many prices move on the board at once. Each paid screen includes 2 price updates a month. More cost £1 each, sold in packs from £5. The included ones start again on the 1st. A new look, or adding and removing items, is two credits. Bought credits never run out.

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 screen 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?
