Now serving

Now serving, on the screen you already have

A bakery, pharmacy, service desk or town hall counter does not need a separate number display kit. Customers take a number from the ticket roll on the counter, or scan a QR code for a ticket on their own phone. Staff press Next on a phone, a presenter or a wireless button, and the number appears big on every screen with a chime, over your promotions or as a full-screen board.

Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month. Plugin version v1.4, released 2026-10-31.

On the screen

What the screen shows

The number being served

Big and clear, with a chime and optionally a spoken call such as "Number A 42, please go to counter 3".

Per counter

One tile per counter, desk, till, room or window, with your own names.

Over your promotions

A banner in a corner of every slide, that fills the screen for a few seconds on each call.

Take a number by QR

The board can show the QR code and how many people are waiting.

On the phone

A digital ticket shows the number, how many people are ahead and an estimated wait.

Statistics

Served today, average and longest wait, the busiest hour and the last 7 days.

Setup

How it connects

01
Create a queue

Choose the paper ticket roll you already have or digital tickets by QR, and the number of counters.

02
Put it on a screen

In the playlist, add the queue as a banner over every slide or as a full-screen board.

03
Press Next

On the console on a phone or tablet, a presenter or foot pedal on the player, or a wireless button.

Privacy

What reaches the screen

Customers get a number, never a name: no app, no account and no personal data on the digital ticket. Staff use a console link that can be protected with a PIN, and every link can be replaced in one click.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a ticket machine?

No. Keep the paper ticket roll you have and TVpilot counts along, or let customers take a number on their own phone by scanning a QR code.

How do staff call the next number?

With the console on a phone or tablet, a presenter, foot pedal or keypad on the Raspberry Pi or the TVpilot app, or a wireless button such as Shelly or Flic.

Does the screen make a sound?

Yes, a chime or a loud chime, and optionally a spoken call after it. Sound plays on the Raspberry Pi and the TVpilot app; some smart-TV browsers block sound.

Can a photo of the QR code be used from home?

Not with Only on site switched on: the QR code on the screen then changes every 10 minutes.

Which plans include it?

Now serving is part of the Pro and Business plans.
