Big type for the back of the queue
The counter screen sets names in large type and fits anything from 6 to 40 flavours on one screen without scrolling. Sold-out flavours stay on, dimmed, so nobody has to ask.
For ice cream parlours
The board that knows the pistachio's gone.
Scoopboard keeps your flavour list honest. Tap a tub to Sold out on the staff tablet and the counter screen changes before the next customer reaches the glass.
Free. Runs in your browser. No account, and your board stays on your device.

Sound familiar?
The chalkboard was right at eleven this morning.
Then a tub ran out, the new flavour arrived, and nobody had a free hand to climb up and rewrite it. Now every third customer asks for something you haven't got, and the ones with allergies have to ask about every tub.
How it works
Three taps, and the counter keeps up.
-
1
Add your flavours.
Type a name, tick the dietary tags, pick one of eight colours. Up to sixty flavours, sorted for you.
-
2
Tap the status.
In stock, Running low, Sold out or Coming soon. One tap and it's saved, no Save button to forget.
-
3
Put the board on a screen.
Open the Display in its own window, send it to the TV, press Full screen. It updates by itself whenever anyone changes the board.
What's on the board
Made for a queue, not a meeting.
Allergy questions, answered on the board
Vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free and egg-free, as short tags with a key underneath.
"Running low" before it runs out
Customers see it and choose sooner. Low flavours stay where they are, so the board doesn't shuffle in a rush.
A tub log that writes itself
Tap Open tub when one goes in the cabinet and Finish tub when it's scraped clean. Scoopboard records the times and how long each tub lasted.
Big buttons for cold hands
Every button is at least 44 pixels square, it works with a keyboard and a screen reader, and it follows your device's light or dark setting.
No account, no setup
Open it and start. Your board lives in this browser on this device; nothing is sent anywhere.
The real thing
Change the board. Watch the counter.
These are the actual Scoopboard screens, running right here. Add a flavour or tap Sold out on the left and the counter screen on the right changes by itself, just as it would on the TV in your shop.
Anything you add here is saved in this browser only, the same as when you use Scoopboard for real.
Tip: add a flavour on the tablet, then switch to the counter screen.

For the owner
Know what to churn on Monday.
Every finished tub is counted. Stats ranks the week's flavours by how many tubs you got through, breaks ties by how fast they emptied, and names the three to make next. Flip back through earlier weeks to spot what's climbing.
Example week: Salted Caramel 9 tubs, Pistachio 7, Strawberry Sorbet 6, Mint Choc Chip 4, Dark Chocolate 2.
Wipe the chalkboard for good.
Open Scoopboard, add today's flavours, and put the counter screen on the TV. It takes about five minutes, before the first customer of the day.
