Screens that welcome every visitor
Whether you run a cafe in Queenstown, a motel on State Highway 1 or a tour desk in Rotorua, TVpilot puts your reviews, menu and guest Wi-Fi on a TV you already own. Manage it from your phone, keep playing when a rural connection drops, and start free with one screen.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
Visitors pick a cafe or tour in seconds, and your great reviews sit on a phone they never open.
Put your Google rating and best reviews on the screen in the window. They refresh by themselves, so new five-star reviews show up without anyone lifting a finger.
Reception spends the day spelling out the Wi-Fi password to guests.
A QR code on screen carries the guest Wi-Fi. Guests join with one scan, and the code is made on the screen itself, so once loaded it keeps showing when the internet drops.
Out of town, the connection drops and a USB-stick TV is the only thing that keeps working.
TVpilot players keep the content and schedule they downloaded and carry on playing offline, switching at the planned time. Updates arrive once the line is back.
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.
Google reviews in the window

Everything you need, nothing you don't
Reviews that sell for you
Google reviews on every plan; Tripadvisor and Booking.com reviews are Premium, in Pro and Business or as an add-on on Starter.
Wi-Fi and links by QR code
Guest Wi-Fi, your booking page or your menu in one scan, with your logo in the middle of the code.
Keeps playing offline
Downloaded content and the schedule stay on the player. A backup playlist plays instead of a black screen if the assigned content is unavailable.
New Zealand time, always
Every screen keeps its own time zone, so menus and on/off hours follow local time, not the time of our team in Europe.

Frequently asked questions
Which player should I use in New Zealand?
A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with one install command is the most robust choice: it restarts its own player, recovers after an outage and switches the TV on and off through HDMI-CEC. A Fire TV Stick runs the TVpilot app from the Amazon Appstore, an Android TV box works with TV Bro or Fully Kiosk Browser, and a smart TV can open the player in its browser. The Amazon Signage Stick is sold on Amazon in the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Canada.
Your team is in Europe. Will my screens run on New Zealand time?
Yes. Every screen keeps its own time zone, so a menu set for 12:00 switches at noon in New Zealand. Player updates also run at 03:00 in each screen's own time zone.
What if my internet is slow or drops out?
Players keep the content and schedule they already downloaded and keep playing, and a planned switch still happens on time. A Raspberry Pi recovers by itself after an outage. New content needs a connection to arrive.
Can I show Tripadvisor or Booking.com reviews?
Yes, as Premium plugins, included in Pro and Business or with the Premium add-on on Starter. Google reviews work on every plan, also the free one.
How does billing work from New Zealand?
Plans are priced in euros and paid by card; your bank converts the amount. Prices exclude VAT. You pay per plan with screens included, not per screen or per user.
Where is my data stored?
TVpilot is built in the Netherlands and hosted in the European Union. The security page explains how we handle your data.
