Always getting more powerful.
NyteBoard isn’t a product that ships once and sits still. The developer behind Slate is actively building — continually bringing more power to the tools your business runs on. Here’s a look at what’s in the works.
Announcements & Staff Notifications
Keep your whole team in the loop without a group text. Post an announcement from your dashboard and it lands on your staff’s phones — daily specials, lunch features, events, even a soup-of-the-day change the moment you make it. Staff opt in by category, and it installs to the home screen like an app, so there’s no new hardware to buy.
A free plan — where your screen can pay for itself.
Get your specials on a screen for free. You’ll get two menus — a full display for your TVs and a matching mobile version for guests’ phones — built on the same dead-simple system, no subscription required. Your board carries a small NightlySlate spot plus open ad slots: when a local business advertises there — every ad guaranteed a full hour of screen time every day (a minimum of 30 hours a month for a 7-day location) — you share in the revenue. A screen that looks sharp, keeps your specials current, and can actually put money back in your pocket. Upgrade anytime to unlock Slate, the Layout Builder, and your own website.
Guided Layout Builder tutorial + templates
A step-by-step walkthrough plus ready-made starter designs, so anyone can build a corporate-quality menu in minutes.
Themes for advanced displays
One-tap professional color and type themes for the Layout Builder — polished looks without touching a single setting.
POS menu sync — Toast, Square & Clover
Connect your point of sale and your boards keep themselves current. Change a price or 86 an item in Toast, Square, or Clover, and every screen updates on its own — no double entry, no forgotten specials.
Printable in-house menus, powered by your POS
Beautiful, ready-made menu layouts you can print for your tables — with your items and prices pulled straight from Toast, Square, or Clover. Change a price at the register and just reprint; your in-house menus stay current without a designer or a redesign fee. Download, print, done.
Deeper menu & sales insight
See what’s working — which specials draw eyes and how your displays are performing across every screen.
Unlimited photo storage add-on
More room for galleries, event posters, and high-resolution imagery, for the restaurants that live on visuals.
Order right from the screen
Let guests order the specials they see — scan a code and order straight off your boards, sent right to your kitchen. It builds on the POS connections above, so once your Toast, Square, or Clover sync is live, guest ordering can follow.
Tighter Timeclock integration
Bringing the menu platform and the Hook & Ladder Timeclock toolkit closer together, so your whole operation runs from one place.
