TV Menu

Scan to save contact

If the logo or menu block was dragged off-center, reset to defaults:

Same content as About Business.txt and colors.txt. It is stored with your menu (Save / export / Save to server). Click Apply design to update colors, the browser tab title (business_name), and logo alt text. To overwrite the real files on your host, use Save design files to server (PHP).

About Business.txt

Contact card & QR

Fills a scannable MECARD QR code — many phones prompt to add a contact. Turn on Show contact QR on TV in Display so guests see it on the menu board. Saving the menu keeps this data in backups / server JSON.

Auto-switch breakfast vs lunch & dinner by time

Breakfast from

Breakfast until

Between these times the TV shows the breakfast list. All other times show lunch & dinner (same list for both meals).

Manual override (ignores the clock until cleared):

Checked tags appear as filter chips on the TV. Uncheck to hide a chip from the board. Tag labels are editable.

How saving works

Save to server updates the copy every TV loads (data/live-menu.json). Needs PHP on your host.
Reload from server pulls the latest menu without refreshing the whole page.
Full printable checklist: open SERVER-SAVE.txt in this folder.

Phone sign-in setup

This browser also keeps a copy in localStorage. On a live site, use Save to server so all screens match.

First-time hosting: copy server-config.example.js → server-config.js, add <script src="server-config.js"></script> before app.js if you use a save password or custom URLs.
