Slate is the live screen operations layer for busy taprooms, restaurants, and storefronts. 86 an item, flip a daypart, or survive a Wi-Fi drop — the right information stays in front of customers.
Your first screen ships pre-configured, no hardware shopping. Already have a smart TV or stick? Use it free.

From the kitchen pass to the taproom floor, Slate keeps live information in front of customers without adding another job to the shift.
Landscape above the register, portrait by the door, a promotion in the window. Every screen gets its own layout, typography, and content from one dashboard.
Keep tap lists, releases, and events current through every shift.
Make menus, specials, and service updates easy to see and change.
Turn the screens you already own into clear, timely customer information.
Present product availability, daily specials, and customer guidance clearly.
Structured items with live prices and the one-tap 86 switch. Dayparts flip breakfast to lunch on schedule.

The incumbent software in this space was built for corporate airports and waiting rooms. They charge $899+ a year for clunky template editors that treat food like an afterthought.
Plug in the device we send you (already set up before it arrives) or use your own TV/stick. Either way, the screen shows a 6-character code. Type it into your dashboard, like signing into a streaming app.
A designer builds your menus, promos, and loops, applies your brand, and tunes everything with you until it's right. You start from done.
Change a price, mark an item unavailable, push a promotion, or swap the loop. Every screen updates in seconds. You just did it above.
See the controls that matter at a glance: products, prices, availability, and the screens receiving every update.
A completely live system, not a playlist editor.
There is no publish button, no draft state, no approval queue. Tap a field, type a number. Done. Every edit is live on every screen before the next customer reaches the register.
Slate caches everything directly on the device. If your router reboots, your screens keep showing exactly what they were showing. They sync back up silently when the connection returns.
Set breakfast to flip to lunch at 11am automatically. A promotion turns on at 3pm, turns off at 6pm. Date-range specials appear Friday and remove themselves Sunday night. Zero manual intervention.
Manage all your locations centrally, but let individual GMs hide items when they run out or override local pricing.
If a screen drops offline for more than 10 minutes, Slate emails you. No more discovering a blank TV during the Friday rush.
Run your menu on the left and looping promotional videos or photos on the right. Both download locally to the screen, so they never buffer or stutter if the wifi hiccups.
Upload your own MP4s, from cocktails being poured to food coming out of the oven, and they loop silently on any screen. You can run video alongside a menu board, or go full-screen with rotating clips between content.
Just a menu and a screen. We build the boards for you during setup. You don't need any technical skills.
Right now, Slate is standalone. You control the boards directly from your phone. POS sync is on our roadmap, but honestly, most owners find our phone app faster for 86ing an item than drilling into their POS backend.
Yes. You can upload MP4s that loop automatically. On Pro plans, you can even run split-screen with a live menu on one side and a video loop on the other.
Your screens keep running perfectly. Slate downloads everything to the device itself. When the internet comes back, it syncs any changes silently.
No. Slate works anywhere customers need timely information on a screen: menus and promotions, retail product availability, daily specials, service notes, and customer guidance. You control the content and the layout from one dashboard.
