Taprooms & breweries

A tap list that's never out of date.

  • Tap numbers, style, ABV and IBU
  • Keg kicked? Mark it sold out and publish

Coffee shops

From the espresso bar to the pastry case.

  • Cup sizes and origin notes
  • A drinks board and a food board from one menu

Every counter in between

Bakeries, ice cream shops, food trucks and cafés.

  • Photos, sizes and prices
  • As many locations, menus and TVs as you need

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself.

  1. Create your menu

    Items, prices, sizes and photos, plus drink details. Your logo and colors apply everywhere.

  2. Put it on a TV and print its QR code

    Connect a TV with a short code, and put the QR code on tables or the counter.

  3. Update everything from your phone

    Change a price or mark something sold out, then publish. TVs update within about 20 seconds.

Display on a TV

Tested on Amazon Fire TV with Silk.

Open pourslate.com/tv in the Silk Browser, enter the code it shows in your dashboard, and press OK for full screen. No app to install. Google Chrome on a computer plugged into the TV works too.

It worked well in our testing, but Fire TV models and sleep settings vary and we can't promise every TV stays awake, so try yours for a day before you count on it. Other TV browsers are untested and may go to sleep.

Try it

Change it once. Both screens follow.

Edit the sample below, then publish. This demo runs entirely in your browser on a fictional menu. Nothing is saved and no real menu is touched.

Sample editor

Published
  • Switchback Hazy IPA 16 oz
  • Iron Range Pils 16 oz
  • Cold Brew on Nitro
  • Wild Plum Sour 16 oz

Like the real editor, changes (including sold-out) stay in draft until you publish. In PourSlate, open TV screens check for a new version about every 20 seconds, and the QR menu shows it the next time it's opened or refreshed.

Looks

Three TV looks. Four QR menu themes.

Each TV and each QR menu picks its own look. Every preview here is rendered by PourSlate itself, on sample menus from fictional businesses.

Pricing

One plan. No counting screens.

Add a second location, a drive-through TV or a seasonal menu without checking a plan limit. There's one price per account, and everything's included.

Questions

Good to know

What equipment do I need to show a menu on a TV?

A computer running Google Chrome connected to the TV by HDMI, or an Amazon Fire TV using its Silk Browser, which worked in our testing (try it on yours before you rely on it). Open your display, go full screen, and leave it running. It keeps itself up to date. On Fire TV, turn off the screensaver for all-day screens. Other smart-TV browsers may work, but we haven't tested them and they may go to sleep. See Display on a TV for the steps.

Can I show tap numbers, ABV and IBU?

Yes. Every item has optional drink details: a tap number, a style or origin, ABV and IBU. They show as a small badge and one line under the name on your TVs and QR menu. Coffee shops use the same line for origins, and food items simply leave it blank.

Will my QR code ever change?

No. Each menu's QR code points to a permanent link. You can rename the menu, move it to another location or rewrite every item, and printed codes keep working. TV display links are permanent too.

How do updates reach my screens?

Edits are saved as a private draft. You can preview them for TV and phone, and nothing changes for customers until you press Publish. After that, open TV screens pick up the new version within about 20 seconds, and the QR menu shows it the next time someone opens or refreshes it.

Does marking something sold out need publishing?

Yes. Sold-out changes work like any other edit: mark the item, then publish. The editor always shows whether you have unpublished changes.

What happens if my menu is too long for one TV screen?

PourSlate splits it across screens that rotate every 8 seconds instead of shrinking the text until nobody can read it. You can also pick which categories each TV shows. For example, drinks on one screen and food on another.

Can customers order or pay through PourSlate?

No. PourSlate shows your menu. It doesn't take orders or payments, and it doesn't connect to a point-of-sale system.

Your next tap change could take ten seconds.
