The menu and prices
Dishes, drinks, and prices, laid out in Slide Creator from a template or designed in Canva, and changed in one place.

Digital menu boards that change with every service
A printed menu is out of date the moment a price moves or the special sells out, and someone has to reprint it and swap it by hand. Castit turns the screens above your counter into digital menu boards that switch from breakfast to lunch on their own and update everywhere at once. Start on the screens you already have.
Why printed menus can't keep up
A menu changes more often than it looks. Prices follow the suppliers, dishes sell out, breakfast turns into lunch, and the seasonal special needs a place on the wall. On paper, every change means a new print run, someone up a ladder, and the old price on show until the new one arrives.
Digital menu boards put the menu on a screen you change from a browser. You edit a price or a dish once, and every screen that runs that menu shows it. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner each get their own schedule, so the board switches on time without anyone touching it, and the day's special goes up as soon as the kitchen decides on it.
What goes on a digital menu board
Most menu screens carry more than the menu. These are the things restaurants, cafes, and canteens put on them.
Specials and offers
Today's special, a combo, or a seasonal drink, added to the rotation and taken off again when it ends.
Prices from a spreadsheet
Keep the price list in Google Sheets and show it as a table: a change is on the screens within 5 minutes.
The menu you already have as a PDF
The PDF Viewer pages through a menu or price list on its own, with no redesign needed.
A QR code to the full menu
A QR code on screen sends guests to the full menu or a sign-up on their own phone.
Opening hours, Wi-Fi, and weather
The details guests ask at the counter: opening hours, the Wi-Fi password, and the weather outside.
Wherever guests decide what to order
A menu screen earns its place where people choose: in the queue, at the counter, and at the door. Put each screen where that choice happens, and give it the content that fits the spot.
Above the counter — the menu and prices, one section per screen
In the queue — specials and combos while guests are still deciding
In the window — today's menu for people walking past
Company and school canteens — the week's menu next to news and notices
Bars and coffee corners — drinks, offers, and what's on tonight
Walls with no socket — a wireless e-paper menu, with no cabling
Menu board software for one cafe or a whole chain
A menu has to be right on every screen at the same time, often in more than one location, and it is changed by people who also run the floor. Castit keeps it simple enough for the shift manager and controlled enough for head office.
Daily specials on screen in a Dutch eetcafé
A Dutch eetcafé swapped its static menus and printed promotions for screens that carry the day's specials, offers, and news for its guests. A reseller that works with hospitality venues set it up on Castit, and the content is managed centrally and updated as quickly as the specials change.

Frequently asked questions
What is a digital menu board?
It is a screen that shows your menu, prices, and specials, managed from software instead of printed. With Castit you change it in your browser, and every screen that runs it updates.
Can my menu switch between breakfast, lunch, and dinner on its own?
Yes. Give each menu its own time-based or recurring schedule, and every screen switches at the time you set, with no one touching it.
Can I use the TV I already have?
Often, yes. Castit runs on Samsung and LG smart displays through the built-in player, on Android and Google TV sets through the Castit app, and on other screens through a small player. For screens that run all day, a professional display or a certified player is the safer choice.
Can I change a price on every screen at once?
Yes. Change the price once and publish, and every screen that runs that menu shows it, at one location or all of them. A price kept in Google Sheets reaches the screens within 5 minutes.
Does the menu stay on screen if the internet drops?
Yes. Screens keep playing from local storage during an internet outage and catch up when it's back.
Can I start for free?
Yes. Essential, the free plan, starts with 21 days of the complete product on up to ten players, with no credit card. After that one player stays free for as long as you like, with up to 5 items per screen and up to 30 seconds per item. See what Essential includes.
