CAFE DAILY SPECIALS BOARD
A cafe daily specials board with today's date, a rotating coffee lineup, and a pastry ticker for the screen behind the counter. Out of the box it flips through pour overs, oat lattes, and cold brew on one line and almond croissants, banana bread, and lemon tart on another, with your guest Wi-Fi in the footer. The date widget updates itself every morning.

How do baristas update the coffee and pastry lists each morning?
Open the board in any browser — a phone works — and edit the two tickers: swap "ethiopia pour over" for today's single origin, remove pastries as they sell out. The counter TV flips to the new lineup immediately, no restart or re-cast.
Can the board look different in the morning and afternoon?
Yes. Keep the pastry-heavy scene for the morning rush and add an afternoon scene featuring iced drinks or a happy-hour toast menu, each with its own duration. The display rotates on its own while staff pull shots.
Do I need to buy hardware for a small cafe?
No. Any screen that opens a URL becomes the specials board — a smart TV, a $30 streaming stick in an old monitor, even a large tablet on a shelf. The retro split-flap animation does the eye-catching work a printed letterboard used to.
What does a specials board like this cost to run?
Designing the board, editing tickers, and previewing are free. Playing it live on the cafe TV needs a plan from $8/mo — typically less than reprinting menus, and the date line keeps itself current without anyone touching chalk.
