Lobby welcome boards, meeting and event directories fed by your calendar, restaurant and room-service menus, pool and spa hours, wayfinding and live weather, managed from one browser. The first 3 screens are free forever; a full property runs from $3 per screen per month.
First published September 6, 2026 · Last updated September 6, 2026
Guest welcomes, today's events, weather and local news, shuttle times, currency and time zones, branded to the property, dayparted from morning check-out to evening arrivals.
Room assignments and schedules pulled from Google Calendar or any calendar feed, shown at the conference entrance and on door-side screens, updating themselves when a booking changes.
Digital menu boards with dayparted breakfast, lunch and dinner layouts, specials, happy-hour countdowns and allergen panels; prices change once and appear everywhere.
Opening hours, class schedules, treatment menus and safety notices where guests actually look for them.
Touch directories (mediaTOUCH) for large resorts, casinos and convention spaces, with an attract loop that promotes outlets when idle.
Push a weather warning, evacuation instruction or lost-child notice to every screen on the property in seconds from any browser or phone.
Non-technical staff can run it. Front-desk and banquet teams edit templates from a browser or tablet; sub-accounts keep F&B, events and the spa on their own screens without touching the lobby loop.
Live data does the daily work. Calendar-driven event boards, weather, news, RSS and any XML/JSON feed refresh on their own; countdowns and scheduling handle happy hour and check-out reminders.
It runs on hardware you already own. SignPlayer runs on Android sticks and Android TV, Chrome OS, Windows and Mac PCs, Raspberry Pi and iPads, so lobby and corridor TVs need a $30–$60 player, not proprietary appliances. Watchdog keeps players running unattended.
Screens stay up when the Wi-Fi does not. Content is cached on each player and keeps playing through outages, syncing changes when the connection returns.
Groups and management companies. The Enterprise plan adds white-label branding, SignDashboard multi-property management, proof of play for sponsored content, touch kiosks and POS integration for outlets.
The price fits a property. First 3 screens free forever; from $3/screen/month after that with volume pricing in the public calculator, versus $8–$16 on Yodeck, $10–$30 on OptiSigns or $20 on ScreenCloud.

What digital signage should a hotel use?
For most hotels, resorts and venues: cloud-managed digital signage such as DigitalSignage.com on the TVs already in the property, with a $30–$60 player behind each screen, calendar-driven event boards, dayparted menus and sub-accounts per outlet. The first 3 screens are free forever and additional screens cost $3 per screen per month, about a third of mainstream competitors.
Can the event directory update automatically from our booking calendar?
Yes. The calendar component reads Google Calendar or any calendar or XML/JSON feed and displays the day's meetings and rooms; when a booking changes in the calendar, the screens follow.
Can we run restaurant menus and lobby screens from the same account?
Yes. Menu boards, lobby loops, spa hours and conference directories are all layouts in one account, each assignable to different screens and different staff sub-accounts.
How much does hotel digital signage cost?
Software on DigitalSignage.com: $0 for up to 3 screens, then $3 per screen per month, so a 25-screen resort is about $900 a year versus $2,400–$6,000 on Yodeck, OptiSigns or ScreenCloud. Hardware is an existing TV plus a $30–$60 player, or a commercial display for bright or outdoor locations.
Does it work for hotel groups with many properties?
Yes. The Enterprise plan's SignDashboard manages many properties from one console with white-label branding and per-property sub-accounts, and volume pricing is quoted by the public calculator.
