Today's lunch list on screen, from one dashboard
TVpilot is digital signage software that turns the TVs in your lunch restaurant, shop or office into screens you manage from one web dashboard. The lunch list, the afternoon offer and the weather switch by themselves, in Finnish, Swedish, English or all three, because you make the content. Prices are in euros and your first screen is free forever.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
A new lunch list every weekday, printed and taped up again every morning.
Plan the lunch menu as a weekly slot, for example weekdays 10:30 to 14:00, and change the dishes in the dashboard. The change is on every screen after one click.
Your customers read Finnish, some read Swedish, and the template only does English.
Screens show whatever you make: write your slides in Finnish, Swedish or both in the Designer, describe a screen to AI Studio, or play a design from Canva.
Each branch has its own USB stick, and nobody knows which one is out of date.
Every screen in every town runs from one dashboard. Change a campaign once and it reaches all branches, or only the ones you pick.
Real screens, ready to use
Every screen below is a live plugin or a design you make in minutes. Mix them in one playlist, or give each screen its own.
The lunch list
Today's dishes and prices during lunch, replaced by the afternoon menu by itself after.

Every branch, one dashboard
From Helsinki to Oulu, see which screens are online and change what plays everywhere at once.
Shop window offers
A sale with a start and an expiry date, so it goes up on time and takes itself off screen when it ends.
See how it worksPlan once, and every screen follows the clock
Give slides weekdays, hours and an end date, or plan whole playlists in the calendar. The screens switch on time, even when the internet drops.
- 07:30
Morning
The Pi switches the TV on and the cafe shows breakfast and today's weather, on winter mornings before it is light.
- 10:30
Lunch opens
A lunch restaurant that serves from 10:30 to 14:00 sets the lunch list once as a weekday slot.
- 14:00
Afternoon
Coffee and pastry offers replace the lunch list, in Finnish and Swedish.
- 16:00
Dark already
In winter the shop window screen keeps promoting this week's offer to a dark street.
- 03:00
Overnight
Player updates install at 03:00 Finnish time, because every screen follows its own clock.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Plan the whole year
Weekly lunch slots, one-off event days and, on Pro and Business, blackout dates. Screens keep following the plan during an internet outage.
Slides with their own hours
Show a slide only on chosen weekdays and between chosen times, with an expiry date after which it takes itself off screen.
Finnish and Swedish
Write slides in either language or both. The dashboard is in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Malay, Simplified Chinese or Thai.
TVs on and off by schedule
A Raspberry Pi switches the TV on and to standby through HDMI-CEC and restarts its player by itself after a power cut.

Frequently asked questions
Can my screens show Finnish and Swedish?
Yes. Screens show whatever you make, so write your slides in Finnish, Swedish, English or several at once. Use the Designer, AI Studio, or a Canva design, PDF or image made elsewhere.
Is the dashboard available in Finnish?
Not yet. The dashboard is available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Malay, Simplified Chinese and Thai, chosen per user in Settings. Emails and invoices from TVpilot are in English.
Which player should I use in Finland?
A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 is the most reliable: one install command, it restarts its own player and switches the TV on and off through HDMI-CEC. An Android TV box with Fully Kiosk Browser or the browser of a smart TV also works. The Amazon Signage Stick is sold on Amazon in the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Canada.
What does it cost?
Plans are priced in euros and paid by card. Free is 1 screen forever without a card, Starter €5 per month for 3 screens, Pro €29 for 10 and Business €99 for 25. You pay per plan, never per user. Prices exclude VAT.
Where is our data stored?
TVpilot is built in the Netherlands and your data is hosted in the EU under GDPR. Every user can turn on two-factor authentication, and on Pro and Business you can require it for the whole team.
Can the lunch list switch by itself?
Yes. Add the lunch playlist as a weekly slot in the calendar, for example weekdays 10:30 to 14:00. Outside that slot the screen falls back to its default playlist.
