How to launch a screen
- 1
Build the program
The “What should this screen do?” wizard asks for the job — sell items, show the menu and prices, announce a promo — and builds the first cards from your catalog.
- 2
Open tv.cenaly.com on the TV
The screen shows a six-character code and a QR code. Enter the code in the dashboard or point your phone camera at the QR — then press OK on the remote.
- 3
Press “Publish”
The TV usually receives the program within 1–6 minutes and keeps checking for updates by itself. The dashboard shows that the version was applied.
What you need
A TV or monitor with HDMI
Use HDMI to connect the box. Landscape and portrait formats are supported: 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1 and 21:9.
An Android TV or Google TV box
Recommended: a box running Chrome 105 or newer. Built-in Smart TV browser support depends on the model; test it before buying.
Internet at the venue
Needed for setup and updates. Saved content may keep playing for up to a week during an outage; prices and ads require confirmed freshness.
Pricing
Included in every plan, the free plan too
- No per-screen fee — several screens per location

How the screen starts earning
Pick the screen’s job
“Sell dishes / products / services”, “Show the menu and prices”, “Announce a promo”, “Entertain the queue”, “Window display”, “Checkout” — the design adapts to the job.
Items picked by a rule
Show “all new items”, “everything in a category” or “on discount” — the screen takes matching items from the catalog and drops the ones that ran out.
Different things at different times
Morning / Day / Evening slots or your own by weekday — on your location’s clock. A card can also have its own period: “until the end of the week”, “from… to…”.
More screen features
QR code to the item
The code on a card opens that item’s page in your storefront, not the home page: a guest scans the dessert and sees the dessert.
A promo from one sentence
Type “cheaper latte on weekdays until 11” and AI suggests a card and schedule. It takes prices and discounts only from the POS’s active rules and never makes them up.
Ready-made design
Classic, Luxe, Neon, Fresh, Bold and more styles, an accent colour and heading font — no designer needed.

Honest limits
- The ad monitor does not count who looked at the screen and does not promise more sales — it shows your items.
- Photos come from the catalog: an item without a photo still plays but looks plainer — the dashboard warns you.
- AI suggestions use the account’s AI credits. AI suggests, you apply — to a draft.
FAQ
How long does the first screen take?
The wizard has four steps: job, content, review and connection. If your catalog already has items with photos, it takes minutes.
My screen is portrait — will it work?
Yes: 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1 and 21:9 formats are supported.
Can I show my own images and videos?
Yes: a promo or announcement can use your own image or video as a background, including a finished design from a designer.
Do I need to buy a special player?
You usually do not need a new TV: connect an Android TV or Google TV box running Chrome 105 or newer over HDMI. Test a built-in Smart TV browser before buying: older models may not work. A verified list of TV models is not yet available.
What happens if the internet goes down?
An already running player can continue with saved content for up to 7 days after confirmed connectivity. Prices and ads are shown only while freshness is confirmed; then a neutral screensaver takes over. Offline TV restarts are not yet promised.
Who creates the pictures?
Use photos from your catalog, upload a finished design or build an offer in a ready-made style. AI suggestions are optional and use credits.
Can I manage several locations?
Yes: one dashboard shows screens across your locations. Each location has its own program; copying programs between locations is not yet available.
How much is it and how many screens can I connect?
The ad monitor is included in every plan, including Free. There is no per-screen fee. Bring your own TV and box; AI suggestions use AI credits.
