In short
PlainSignage is simple menu board software for Amazon Fire TV: sideload the free player on a Fire TV Stick, pair it with a 6-character code, type your menu into the menu widget, pick one of five designs and publish. Prices change from your phone, menus switch by time of day, and the stick caches everything for offline playback. €14.99 per month for the first board, €4.99 for each additional one.
