Your first board, step by step

Before you start

Have your menu names and prices ready, along with a TV and a player device that can open the ConcessionKit player in a browser. You need an internet connection for setup, pairing, and receiving updates.

• An organization is your team’s account. It contains your locations, members, and billing.
• A location is a stand or venue with its own menu, designs, and schedule.
• A screen is a paired player connected to a TV. A design becomes visible there when you publish it.

1. Set up your team

1. Open the portal and choose the sign-up option. Create your own account.
2. Create an organization and your first location, or join an existing team using the invitation or code your administrator provided.
3. Check the selected location before editing. Menus and designs belong to that location.

2. Build a small menu

In Menu, start with a section such as Food or Drinks and a few items. Enter each item’s name and price, and check its availability. You can add more once the first board is working.

3. Choose a design

In Design, choose a template and check that its menu sections show the right items. Start with a readable layout and preview it in the orientation of your TV. The designer is still being developed, so individual controls and templates may change.

4. Pair, assign, and publish

1. Open the player on your TV device and leave its pairing code visible.
2. In Screens, choose Pair a TV, enter the code, and give the TV a recognizable name.
3. Select the design for the screen and publish it.
4. Check the actual TV for the correct menu, prices, orientation, and legibility.

5. Get ready for game day

Invite the people who will operate the stand, test a sold-out change, and confirm how to return from a temporary screen override. Keep an alternate way to communicate with guests if a TV or internet connection fails.
