The problem
Your guests are asking the same questions over and over
Every hotel has information that guests need throughout the day. Breakfast times. Pool hours. The wifi password. Which conference room the sales meeting is in. What time the wedding reception starts.
Right now, most of that information lives in three places: a laminated card in the room, a paper sign on an easel in the lobby, and the memory of whoever is on the front desk.
The laminated card was printed six months ago and still shows last season's spa hours. The easel sign has a coffee stain on it. And the front desk is answering the same five questions on repeat while a queue builds behind. For a business built on first impressions, this is a problem that paper cannot solve.
Why it matters
The real cost of outdated information in your hotel
Guests judge in 30 seconds
A screen showing today's events and a personalised welcome says "we have this under control." A handwritten whiteboard next to the lift says the opposite.
Events clients expect professional signage
A company booking your meeting rooms for a two-day strategy session expects branded signage. When you cannot deliver that, they book elsewhere next time.
Front desk buried in repetitive questions
"What time is breakfast?" "Where is the Boardroom?" Every answer takes 30 seconds. Multiply by 50 guests and you have lost hours of staff time daily.
Conference rooms go stale by mid-morning
A booking gets moved but the paper sign outside still says the original room and time. Three people walk in. The events coordinator gets a phone call. Entirely avoidable.
The solution
Digital signage for hotels that anyone on your team can manage
NowBoard is hotel digital signage software built for schedules, notices, and guest information — not video walls and advertising loops. Plug a NowBoard Player into any TV in your hotel and start displaying useful, up-to-date information within minutes.
No AV contractor. No enterprise software licence. No training manual. Your front desk manager, events coordinator, or general manager can update every screen in the building from their phone, laptop, or tablet.

Screens update instantly
Change a breakfast time, add a conference session, or swap out a promotion. Every connected screen refreshes automatically. No USB sticks, no walking around the building.
Use cases
Six ways hotels use NowBoard every day
Lobby welcome screens
The first screen your guests see sets the tone for the entire stay
A NowBoard lobby display shows today at a glance: the day's events, restaurant opening times, check-in and check-out reminders, local weather, and a branded welcome message. It replaces the paper easel, the printed daily programme, and the "ask at reception" default — all on a single screen. For conference hotels, show the day's meeting schedule so delegates can find their room without queuing at reception.
Conference & meeting room signs
The screen outside the door that stops people walking into the wrong meeting
NowBoard displays the room name, current booking, organiser, start and end time, and room status. When a booking changes, the screen updates automatically. No reprinting. For hotels with 5, 10, or 20 meeting rooms, this is the difference between a smooth conference day and a series of awkward interruptions. Learn more about meeting room displays.
Event programme boards
Weddings, conferences, gala dinners — the full day's programme on screen
NowBoard displays the complete programme: registration, sessions, coffee breaks, lunch, afternoon activities, drinks reception, dinner. Branded to match the event or the hotel. For wedding receptions, show the order of the day on a screen in the entrance or bar area. Event organisers can preview their branded programme board before the day using a shared link. Learn more about event signage.
Guest information screens
The answers to every question your front desk gets asked ten times a day
Place NowBoard screens near lifts, in corridors, at the spa entrance, or by the pool. Display the information guests actually need: breakfast service times, spa opening hours, pool schedule, gym availability, wifi login details, shuttle bus timetable, and nearby attractions. When the pool closes early for maintenance, update the screen. When the restaurant adds a special tasting menu, add it. The content stays current because updating it is genuinely easy.
Restaurant & bar displays
Today's specials, service times, and allergen information — always up to date
NowBoard lets the kitchen or bar team update restaurant screens without involving reception, IT, or management. The breakfast chef adds the morning buffet details before service. The bar manager updates happy hour times for the weekend. The restaurant manager posts tonight's specials after the morning delivery. For hotels with multiple dining options, each outlet manages its own screen content independently.
Back-of-house staff boards
Keep your team informed without pinning paper to a noticeboard in the break room
NowBoard gives you a staff-facing screen in the back office, break room, or staff corridor for shift rotas, training schedules, management announcements, fire safety notices, and operational updates. Update the rota at 7am and the afternoon shift sees it when they arrive at 2pm. Post a notice about a VIP arrival and every department knows before the guest walks through the door.
Why NowBoard
Why hotels choose NowBoard over enterprise signage systems
Most hotel digital signage solutions are built for large chains with dedicated AV teams and five-figure budgets. NowBoard is the alternative for hotels that just need to show today's events on the lobby TV.
Works on screens you already have
Every hotel has TVs. In the lobby, in meeting rooms, in the bar, in the back office. Plug a NowBoard Player into the HDMI port and that TV becomes a digital sign. The player costs around £139.
Anyone on your team can use it
Front desk staff, events coordinators, restaurant managers. If they can send a text message, they can update a NowBoard screen. No training courses. No IT department.
Multi-site management for hotel groups
Running 3, 6, or 50 properties? Manage every screen across every hotel from a single dashboard. Set group-wide branding centrally. Roll out to a new hotel in minutes.
Role-based access
The GM gets full control. The events team manages conference room displays. The front desk updates the lobby screen. The restaurant manager handles dining screens. Nobody breaks anything.
Works offline
Hotel wifi is not always perfect. If the connection drops, NowBoard screens keep showing the last update and sync automatically when the connection returns. Guests never see a blank screen.
From £10/Location/month
No setup fees. No annual contracts. See pricing. A 10-screen hotel setup costs less per month than a single room night.

FAQ
Common questions about hotel digital signage
Do I need to buy new screens?
No. NowBoard works on any TV with an HDMI port. Use the TVs already in your lobby, meeting rooms, bar, or back office. The only hardware you need is a NowBoard Player (around £139).
Can different staff members manage different screens?
Yes. NowBoard has role-based access. Your events team can manage conference room displays without being able to change the lobby screen. Your restaurant manager can update dining screens without seeing the staff noticeboard.
What happens if our hotel wifi goes down?
NowBoard screens keep displaying the last update. When the connection returns, they sync automatically. Guests never see a blank screen or an error message.
Can event organisers preview their signage before the day?
Yes. Share a preview link with the event organiser or wedding planner so they can see exactly what will appear on screen. Make changes based on their feedback before the day arrives.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. NowBoard is month-to-month from £10 per Location. Add Locations when you need them, remove them when you do not. No setup fees, no annual lock-in.
Ready to replace the paper signs?
Your guests deserve better than a laminated card and an easel in the lobby. Your events clients deserve professional, branded signage. Your front desk team deserves fewer repetitive questions.
