An offers board on a TV or screen, meal deals that change on the day

An offer sells when it is big, bright and in front of the queue, and dies on a laminated A4 by the till. A board of its own on the screen, next to the menu or turning with it, does the selling, and the deal changes from your phone on the day it changes.

One screen free, no card. Works on any screen with a web browser, or any screen with an HDMI socket and a streaming stick.

The board of Bella's Pizza, an example pizza shop, with pizzas, sides, drinks
Drawn by Counterboard AI in about two minutes, from a few words and a price list. Bella's Pizza is an example shop: yours is drawn to your own description, with your name and your prices on it.

An offers board

Drawn for a pizza shop, from a few words

Pizza Corner, an example shop: an offers board with a meal deal, two for Tuesday and a lunch special, in red and yellow with photos of pizza, chips and a wrap
Pizza Corner is an example shop. The owner typed three deals and said: red and yellow, loud, big prices, show the food. Counterboard AI drew this in about two minutes.

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.

How it works

Three steps, once

  1. Say the deals and the lookType each deal with its price and the days it runs, and say the look: loud or classy, your colours, your name across the top.
  2. It is drawnCounterboard AI designs the board in about two minutes, with photography of your kind of food. Not right? Say what to change.
  3. Put it on the screenOn a second screen next to the menu, or on the same screen turning with it: so many seconds of menu, so many of offers. Any screen with a browser or an HDMI socket.

Why a board of its own

Where the deal does its work

Big, and in the queue’s eye line

One price, one picture, one deal fills the screen. The same deal as a line on the menu is read by nobody.

Changed on the day

Two for Tuesday on Tuesday, the lunch special at twelve. Type the change on your phone and the screen follows on its own; a paid screen can switch boards by the clock on its own.

Brands as you name them

Name the can in the deal and it is drawn as that can. Leave it as “a drink” and it is drawn plain. The board follows your words.

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

Can I show offers and the menu on one screen?

Yes. A paid screen turns between boards for as many seconds each as you set, and can show a board by the time of day. The free screen shows one board at a time, changed from your phone.

How quickly can I change a deal?

Type the change on your phone and the board is redrawn with it in about two minutes. A price change is one credit (£1); a deal added or taken off is two.

Does it draw the food?

Yes, photography of your kind of food, from your words: a pizza, chips and a can for a meal deal. Name a brand and it is drawn as that brand.

Is it free?

One screen is free for as long as you like, with a small counterboard.com band on the board. A second screen for the offers is priced by the screen.
