Menu screens on the same login as the register — no separate signage vendor.
You came in because you rent your menu screens from a signage company, watch the board drift from what’s actually on the shelf, and a black screen is something a customer notices before you do.
Most shops rent menu screens from a third-party signage company, then watch the board drift from the shelf. CannAgent runs the screens from the same admin that runs the till: spin up a per-store TV, point a browser at it, and a a heartbeat badge on the board and a matching dot on /admin/tv tell you where every screen stands — green under two minutes, amber to ten, red past ten or if it has never checked in. The same counts sit on /api/health, so a stuck screen can reach the pager you already run. The auto-syncing menu-board layout is landing now.
The heartbeat shipped first because a dark menu board is a silent failure — the kind you hear about from a customer. The auto-syncing layout is landing now, and we’re saying so plainly rather than selling it as done.
See the screens.
The demo walks the per-store TV setup and the screen heartbeat walked live by our team, on the working product.
