Digital signage for bars and cafés
The chalkboard behind the bar, on a screen that changes by itself: breakfast in the morning, tapas at noon, happy hour in the afternoon and the match at night. All from your phone.
Free for 1 screen · From €9 per month, VAT included · No lock-in

Digital signage software for bars and cafés
Pantarix is digital signage software for bars and cafés: it turns the TV you already have behind the bar into a cloud-managed screen. Upload the breakfast menu, today’s tapas, promotions and drink videos, schedule each at its time and change it from your phone when something runs out. One screen is free, and if the TV runs Android TV there is nothing else to buy.

A day with Pantarix
How it is used in bars and cafés
- 8:00 · Coffee and toast
You open with the breakfast menu and the coffee-plus-pastry offer. Nobody touches anything: the playlist starts with your opening hours.
- 12:30 · Today’s tapas
The screen moves to tapas and draught beer. The patatas bravas run out: you remove them from your phone while serving.
- 19:00 · Happy hour and the match
The afternoon promotion comes in on video and, at kick-off, the live feed with the pitcher deal as a banner.
Examples
Example content for bars and cafés
Boards made with Pantarix templates and AI Studio. Yours will carry your logo, your colours and your prices.
Features
What a business like yours uses every day
Different content by time of day
Breakfast, lunch, afternoon and evening: each slot plays its playlist without anyone changing it. By weekday and by date too.
Updated from your phone
A price, a photo or a notice changes from the phone and is on every screen in seconds.
Works offline
The player stores the content locally. If the internet drops, the screen keeps playing the last thing it downloaded.
Several sites, one account
Group screens by site or area and publish to all at once, or to each its own. Each manager sees only their part.
Videos, images and live
MP4, JPG and PNG, plus HLS or RTSP channels: the match at the bar or a corporate channel in the waiting room.
Landscape or portrait
TVs in landscape, totems in portrait: the same playlist adapted to each orientation.
Automatic power on and off
Screens switch on and off with your opening hours over HDMI-CEC.
AI-generated posters
Write what you want to promote and AI Studio composes the poster with your logo, colours and typography, scheduled at the right time.
Why it works
Why it works for bars and cafés
The menu changes daily and the chalkboard can't keep up
You type the menu once in the morning and it shows on every screen in the venue. No chalk, no printer.
Quiet hours fill up with time-slot offers
A promotion scheduled from 5 to 7 pm shows by itself every day and retires by itself. Nothing to remember.
A TV you already have becomes a screen
If the bar has an Android TV, just install the app. If not, the Pantarix Box connects over HDMI.
How it works
Your first screen in three steps
- 01
Connect the player
Install the Pantarix Player app on your Android TV or connect a Pantarix Box over HDMI. A six-digit pairing code appears on screen.
- 02
Pair the screen
Enter the code in your Pantarix dashboard. The screen is linked to your account right away.
- 03
Publish your content
Upload images and videos, build playlists and schedule what time each one plays. Changes reach the screen in under a minute.

Common questions from bars and cafés
Can I show the football and my promotions at the same time?
Yes. The live stream is just another item in the playlist: the match plays in full and the promotions show before, after or in a scheduled slot.
How long does the screen take to change when I edit the menu?
Under a minute. The player checks for changes every few seconds and downloads the new content before showing it.
Do I need a special screen?
No. Any TV with an HDMI input works. If it runs Android TV or Google TV, you don't even need the Pantarix Box.
Does it work with the TV I already have behind the bar?
If it runs Android TV or Google TV, yes: install the app and you are done. If not, a €99 Pantarix Box or any Android player over HDMI turns it into a digital signage screen.
How do I run an offer only in the afternoon?
Create the poster (or describe it to AI Studio), schedule it from 17:00 to 20:00 and pick the days. It goes live and comes down on its own every day.
What if the internet drops in the middle of service?
The screen keeps playing what it had already downloaded. When the connection is back it syncs the changes without you doing anything.
