You run your business.
We run your screens.
Text us a price, a special, a sold-out item. Every menu board in the shop updates in seconds, and you never touch the television.
No hardware. No design files. No USB sticks.
A demonstration of the product in use. A text thread with Main Street Studio. Yesterday at 4:12 PM the shop texts “can you put the wings special on tonight”, and the reply reads “Wings special is up on both screens. I’ll take it down at 10.”. The shop texts “we’re out of the soup too”, and the reply reads “Took the soup off both screens.”. Today at 7:40 AM the shop texts “make regular cheesesteaks $15.50”. The reply reads “Regular cheesesteak is $15.00 right now. Change it to $15.50 on both screens?”. The shop replies “yes”, and the reply reads “Done. Both screens show $15.50 now.”. Beside the phone, the menu board on the shop wall reads: The Corner Deli. Cheesesteak, small $10.49, regular $15.50. Chicken cheesesteak, small $9.99, regular $14.25. Italian hoagie, small $9.99, regular $13.99. Mango water ice, small $4.50, regular sold out. Updated just now.

Text the change.
Message the number the way you’d message someone who works for you. Plain words. The screen updates while you’re still holding the phone.
Say it the way you’d say it to somebody who works there.

It asks before it changes anything.
Nothing publishes without a yes.
Every change comes back as a preview showing the old value and the new one. It reaches the screen when you reply, and not before.
Undo is one word.
Text “undo” and the screen goes back to exactly what it said before. Every version is kept, so you can go back further if you need to.
You choose which screens.
Send a change to one television, one location, or all of them. A lunch board and a drinks board don’t have to agree.
Everything is written down.
Every change, who asked for it, and when it went live. Nothing happens to your prices off the record.
Ask us the way you’d ask anyone.
How do I put my menu on a TV?
Every screen gets its own web address. Open it once in the television’s browser, set it to full screen, and leave it there. From then on, every change you publish shows up on it.
What if my TV is old, or has no web browser?
If it has a web browser, it works. If it doesn’t, a streaming stick that has one, like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, plugs into the HDMI port and does the job. We’ll tell you which one you have before you pay anything.
Can I change the menu myself?
Yes. Every shop gets an editor in the browser. Type what you want changed and it proposes the edit, or click any item or price on the board and type over it. Nothing reaches the screens until you publish.
Do I have to use the editor, or can I just text?
Either one, whichever is easier that day. Both change the same board, and both show you the change before it goes up.
Can you start from the menu I already have?
Yes. Send a photo of your current board, a PDF, a spreadsheet, or the link to your menu online, and that becomes your first screen.
What happens if the internet drops?
The screen keeps showing the last menu it received, so the board never goes blank in front of customers. When the connection comes back it catches up on its own.
What if a price comes out wrong?
Every change shows you the old value next to the new one before it publishes, and you approve it. If something does slip through, you can put the previous version back in one step.
Can different screens show different things?
Yes. Send a change to one television, one location, or all of them. A lunch board and a drinks board don’t have to agree.
What does it cost?
Per location, not per screen. The same price whether you run two televisions or nine. We’ll give you the number on the call, once we know how many places you’re running.
Let’s see it running
on your screens.
Fifteen minutes. Bring a photo of your menu and tell us what televisions you have. We’ll tell you honestly whether this works for your setup.
