Dagens lunch at 11:00, fika offers at 15:00
TVpilot is digital signage software that turns the TVs in your cafe, shop or office into screens you manage from one web dashboard. The lunch menu, the fika offer and the window promotion switch by themselves, in Swedish, English or both, because you make the content. Your first screen is free forever.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
Dagens lunch is written on a board at 10:45 and wiped again at 14:00.
Plan the lunch menu as a weekly slot in the calendar, for example weekdays 11:00 to 14:00. It appears and disappears by itself, and a price change is on screen after one click.
In winter it gets dark early and the shop window shows nothing.
A screen in the window keeps promoting after dark. Set on and off hours per screen, and a Raspberry Pi switches the TV on and to standby through HDMI-CEC, no smart plug needed.
Signage software looks great in English, but your customers read Swedish.
Screens show whatever you make: write your slides in Swedish in the Designer, describe a screen to AI Studio, or play a design from Canva. Edits in Canva reach the screens by themselves.
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.
Dagens lunch
The lunch board with today's dishes and prices, shown on weekdays during lunch and replaced by the afternoon menu after.

Weather for your town
Today's temperature and the week ahead, useful in a cafe, a lobby or a shop that sells winter gear.
See how it works
Window promotions
A sale with a start and an expiry date, so it goes up on Friday morning and takes itself off screen when it ends.

Guest Wi-Fi in one scan
A QR code that joins guests to your Wi-Fi, generated on the screen itself, so it keeps working without internet.

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.

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.
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.

Write slides in Swedish in the Designer or AI Studio. The dashboard is in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Malay, Simplified Chinese or Thai.

Frequently asked questions
Can my screens show content in Swedish?
Yes. Screens show whatever you make, so write your slides in Swedish, English or both. Use the Designer, AI Studio, or a Canva design, PDF or image made elsewhere.
Is the dashboard available in Swedish?
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 Sweden?
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.
How am I billed from Sweden?
Plans are priced in euros and paid by card; your bank converts the amount to kronor. Free is 1 screen forever without a card, Starter €5 per month for 3 screens, Pro €29 for 10 and Business €99 for 25. 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 menu switch by itself?
Yes. Add the lunch playlist as a weekly slot in the calendar, for example weekdays 11:00 to 14:00. Outside that slot the screen falls back to its default playlist.
