Change a price, add a special, or swap the whole menu from your phone or laptop in seconds. TVpilot is digital menu board software for restaurants and cafés: AI Studio designs the menu screens for you, and the dashboard pushes them to every TV in the room.
Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month.
You do not need special menu board hardware. Any TV becomes a digital menu board with a small player behind it: a Raspberry Pi or a streaming stick, or just the browser built into a smart TV.
Sign up free and click "Add screen". Each screen gets its own player URL (or a one-command installer for a Raspberry Pi) and its own orientation setting.
Describe your menu in a short brief and AI Studio generates a designed menu screen, or upload images and PDFs of the menu you already have. Mix in videos or promo screens if you like.
Content can be scheduled per time slot and per day of the week: breakfast menu until 11, lunch until 5, dinner after that. Weekend specials only on weekends.
Assign the playlist to your screen and the menu appears on the TV. From then on, every change you make in the dashboard shows up on the board.
Everything a printed menu makes painful, a digital menu board makes a two-minute job.
No designer, no menu templates. Write a short brief with your dishes and prices and AI Studio generates a designed menu screen, plus promos, opening hours or welcome screens when you need them.
Schedule content per time slot and day of the week: the breakfast board switches to lunch at 11 and to dinner at 5, automatically, every day.
Supplier raised prices? Update the screen from your phone or laptop and it is live on the board. No reprinting, no laminating, no crossed-out numbers.
Mount the TV upright next to the counter or wide above it. Each screen has its own orientation setting and content adapts to it.
Manage all boards from one dashboard, with online/offline monitoring for each screen. Free for 1 screen, €5/month for 5, €19/month for 25.
Run the board on a Raspberry Pi and TVpilot can switch the TV on and off via HDMI-CEC on a schedule, so the menu is on before you unlock the door. The Raspberry Pi guide (linked below) covers the setup.
Any TV plus a small player. A Raspberry Pi is the most robust route: one-command install, auto-start, and TV power scheduling via HDMI-CEC. A streaming stick with a browser or a smart TV's built-in browser also works: just open the screen's player URL.
No. AI Studio generates designed menu screens from a short brief: list your dishes, prices and the style you want, and it produces the screen. It also handles promos, opening hours and welcome screens. If you already have menu artwork, upload it as images or a PDF instead.
Seconds. Edit the menu screen in the dashboard from your phone or laptop and the board updates. There is no reprinting step, so a supplier price change or a sold-out dish is handled before the next customer orders.
Yes. Content is scheduled per time slot and per day of the week, so the breakfast board switches to the lunch menu at 11 and the dinner menu at 5 automatically. Weekend-only specials work the same way.
Yes. Each screen has its own orientation setting, landscape or portrait, and content adapts to it. Portrait boards work well next to the counter or in narrow spaces.
