CounterSpace is a picture-frame style color e-ink display that sits by the register and rotates full-page ads for local businesses. The restaurant earns a share of every advertiser's monthly subscription.
Each display shows a QR code and a short board code. It connects to the restaurant's Wi-Fi once and then runs on its own.
They pick a plan, pay a monthly subscription, and upload a photo of their business card.
The ad is generated from the card, approved by the advertiser, and reviewed by CounterSpace before it goes live on the board.
Color e-ink changes pages slowly and holds the image with no power, so the display cycles through ads at a reading pace rather than flashing.
A share of each active subscription on the board is paid out to the restaurant automatically through Stripe.
CounterSpace is starting with a small number of restaurants in the Treasure Valley. Pilot restaurants get the display at cost and help set the plan prices and rotation timing.
Pilot locations: Caldwell, Nampa, Meridian, Boise.
You don't need to design anything. Upload a photo of your business card and CounterSpace builds the ad: your logo, your phone number, your website, and a QR code people can scan from the counter. You approve it before it runs.
Every display shows a QR code. Scan it, or enter the board code below, to see that restaurant's open slots and plans.
Subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe. Cancel from your dashboard and the ad comes off the board at the end of the period.
Your dashboard shows which boards you are on, your display minutes, and how many times the ad was shown.
Prices are per board, per month. Plus and Premium are being tested in the pilot and may change.
