The counter queue, engaged.
Seasonal menu rotation, loyalty prompts, and morning-to-afternoon dayparts — all synced to the till.
Your counter is your best-selling shelf. Most cafes treat it like a static poster.
A cafe's menu changes with the weather, the season, the barista's mood and the bakery delivery. The 8am morning rush doesn't want to read about the 3pm afternoon-tea set. Hangar.Media plugs into your POS (Square, Lightspeed, Epos Now, Toast, Vend, Clover) so your counter screens, soft-drink fridges and window posters all read from one source — the till. Loyalty programme prompts trigger on the customer-facing screen when a regular is one stamp away from a free coffee. Seasonal-drink campaigns roll out across every branch on the minute.
Built for how cafes & coffee shops actually run.
The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.
A counter menu that reads from the till, not from a Word doc.
Connect once to your POS and every drink, pastry and modifier syncs to your screens automatically. When the chef removes the banana bread at 10:47am, the board hides it at 10:47am. When the new seasonal matcha launches across the group, it appears on every branch at 7am without anyone touching a laptop.
Monday morning barista doesn't have to update a single thing. The screen already knows.
- Live price and availability sync for every drink, pastry, sandwich and modifier
- Auto-hide for sold-out items at branch level — national campaign items stay
- Modifier-aware pricing (extra shot, oat milk, large) shown inline with each drink
- Portrait and landscape counter layouts on the same network, scheduled independently
Morning coffee. Brunch. Lunch. Afternoon tea. Nobody touches anything.
Schedule a distinct menu for each service moment of the day. Breakfast at 7 with porridge and pastries, brunch at 10 with eggs and sourdough, lunch at 12 with sandwiches and hot bowls, afternoon tea at 3 with cake and loose-leaf. Every daypart has its own design, photography and pricing. Rotations happen on the minute across every screen.
Morning commuters see morning menus. Afternoon lingerers see afternoon menus. Nobody coordinates.
- Up to 16 scheduled menus per day, per screen
- Seasonal overlays (PSL season, iced-drink summer, hot-choc winter)
- Holiday-menu one-click switch with preview before publish
- Drink-of-the-day manual push with 10-second rollout across every screen
The regular who's one stamp from a free coffee? Tell them.
Connect your loyalty platform (Square Loyalty, Yoyo, Punchh, Open Loyalty, Como, Paytronix) and the customer-facing screen shows a regular's progress the moment their card is scanned: 'Matt, one more coffee and your next one's on us.' Redemption rates triple when the prompt is visible to the whole queue behind them.
The visible prompt is a social nudge. Loyalty redemption climbs.
- Per-scan loyalty progress display on the customer screen
- One-stamp-away and free-drink-earned prompts by name
- Redemption rates reliably 2-3x higher than app-only prompts
- Multi-tier programme support (points, stamps, tiers, anniversaries)
Natasha's Law on every baked-goods panel. No QR-code hide-behind.
Every baked item, sandwich and drink can show its regulated allergens inline — the way a print menu does, without the legal exposure of hiding data behind a QR code. 14 regulated allergen icons (gluten, nuts, soy, dairy, etc.) plus dietary flags (vegan, vegetarian, lactose-free) populated from POS attributes where you already track them.
Your customers read the allergens on the screen. Your staff doesn't have to recite them.
- 14 regulated allergen icons plus vegan/vegetarian/lactose-free flags per item
- Auto-populated from POS item attributes
- PPDS-compliant formatting for pre-packaged grab-and-go
- Per-item allergen-change audit log for FSA inspection
The new Pumpkin Spice drops on every screen at 7am.
Run seasonal campaigns (autumn-winter warmers, summer iced drinks, Valentine's, spring launches) across every branch from one dashboard. Campaign assets (hero imagery, price, availability, regional variants) roll out on a schedule you set. Preview and dry-run at every branch before a campaign goes live.
Campaign rollout used to take a fortnight of van-driver visits. Now it's a Tuesday morning coffee.
- Campaign schedule with preview-all-branches dry run
- Regional variants (UK dairy-milk flat white, NL oat-milk-default)
- Hero imagery with seasonal colour palette and brand-aware templates
- Campaign end-date auto-reversion — no 'oh we forgot to take that down' ever again
Every screen in the building.
From customer-facing walls to operational dashboards — the scenarios that make the platform worth running day-to-day.
The wall behind the barista
Large-format portrait or landscape screens showing the full drinks list with modifier pricing. POS-synced. Daypart rotation from morning coffee to lunch to afternoon tea to closing.
Sandwich and salad shelf strips
Narrow horizontal strips mounted above grab-and-go fridges showing today's sandwich offers, pricing and allergen icons. Updates when the POS registers a sold-out SKU.
Sunlight-readable campaign posters
2,500-nit window-facing screens showing today's drink feature, loyalty sign-up QR code and open-hours. Automatically flips to 'closed' messaging at close-of-service.
Loyalty progress and upsell prompts
Small 10-15" screen beside the customer-side of the till showing loyalty progress on scan, suggested add-ons for the current order, and receipt-preview.
Afternoon-tea menu and event promotion
Tabletop QR-codes linked to seated-order system and tabletop display screens showing afternoon-tea options, wine list and private-hire availability for weekend brunch groups.
Central brand, local autonomy
National or regional groups can push brand-led seasonal campaigns from head office while local managers retain control over branch-specific specials and community events.

Which POS systems do you integrate with for cafes?
Hangar.Media integrates natively with Square for Restaurants, Lightspeed Restaurant, Epos Now, Toast, Vend, Clover, Touchbistro, Revel, iZettle (Sumup POS) and 10+ others. Loyalty platforms including Square Loyalty, Yoyo, Punchh, Paytronix, Como and Open Loyalty are also first-class integrations. POS and loyalty sync are included — no per-connector fee, no premium tier.
Can independents run this, or is it only for chains?
Both. A single-site independent cafe pays £5/month for one counter screen. Same price whether you run one site or a hundred. No tiers, no per-connector fees, no sector premium.
Do the loyalty overlays work with Apple Pay and physical stamp cards?
If the loyalty programme is on our integration list (Square Loyalty, Yoyo, Punchh, Paytronix, Como and others), yes — regardless of whether the customer presents a physical card, an app, or pays via Apple Pay linked to the loyalty profile. If you're running a homemade stamp-card or paper-coupon system, we can integrate via our custom-webhook tool (still no extra charge).
Pricing for a 4-site cafe group?
£5 per screen per month, flat. For a 4-site group with 3 screens per site (12 screens total), that's £60 per month — about what one site costs to print new laminated menu strips twice a year. Same price whether you run one site or a hundred. No tiers, no per-connector fees, no sector premium.
