How everything works — from sign-up to live screens
Follow the exact path your business takes with Heavy Menu. Each step builds on the one before it — and you're live before you know it.
Step 1 — Sign up & pick your plan
Choose the plan that fits your business: Basic for a single screen, Pro for growing restaurants with up to 3 screens, or Premium for multi-location fleets with 8 screens. Pay monthly or save 10% yearly. A one-time $30 setup fee per screen covers the Fire Stick app and guided onboarding.
- Select Basic, Pro, or Premium
- Secure checkout with Base44 Payments
- One-time $30 setup fee per screen
Step 2 — Pair your TV screen
Open the live screen on your Fire Stick or browser. A dynamically refreshing QR code appears. Scan it with your phone (or another device) to instantly pair the TV — no manual serial entry, no IT team required. The screen enters a branded waiting state until you assign content.
- Scan-to-pair with a QR code
- Unified login via username + serial
- Branded waiting screen while empty
Step 3 — Build your slides
Open the Slide Studio and create looping playlists. Mix full-screen video promos with styled menu slides. Set per-slide durations, drag to reorder, toggle slides active or inactive, and schedule content to appear only within specific date/time windows — perfect for lunch specials or weekend promos.
- Video slides + menu slides
- Per-slide duration & ordering
- Date/time scheduling windows
Step 4 — Design with overlays
Drag text, images, videos, QR codes, and animated particle effects anywhere on screen with the Overlay Studio. Choose from 40+ entrance and exit animations, set precise in/out timing, rotate, flip, adjust opacity and color (hue, saturation, lightness). Lock layers to protect your layout. No designer needed — if you can drag, you can design.
- 40+ entrance/exit animations
- QR, text, image, video, particle layers
- Color, opacity, rotation, flip controls
Step 5 — Build your digital menu
Use the Menu Builder to create a full digital menu with sections, items, images, prices, special prices, and add-ons. Customize fonts, colors, card styles, columns, and branding. Generate a public QR-menu page — customers scan it and view your full menu on their phones. Available on Pro and above.
- Sections, items, prices, add-ons
- Custom fonts, colors, card styles
- Public QR menu page for customers
Step 6 — Broadcast & monitor
Assign slides to each screen, run independent playlists on every TV, and monitor live status from your dashboard. Push updates in real time — changes sync the second you save them. Force-reboot all screens with one click to apply updates instantly. Screens cache their playlist offline and keep playing even without internet.
- Independent playlists per screen
- Realtime sync + one-click force reboot
- Offline cache keeps screens playing
What is Heavy Menu?
Heavy Menu is a SaaS digital signage platform that lets restaurants and other businesses create and broadcast custom menus to multiple screens. Each screen runs a looping playlist of video and menu slides enriched with layered overlays — text, images, videos, QR codes, and animated particle effects. Owners manage everything from a restaurant panel; admins run the entire multi-tenant business from a PIN-protected console with billing, contracts, leads, affiliates, and live screen monitoring.
