A 3-hour game carries about 45 minutes of commercials — and restaurants are one of the biggest categories. Thursti turns every screen that isn't showing the game into your best salesperson.

Getting a hungry person through your door and into a seat is the most expensive thing you do. Then the broadcast cuts to commercials — and the screens they're staring at tell them to order wings from a chain, or pull out a delivery app.
Beer brands you pour, spirits on your shelf. These ads are basically working for you. Fine.
Trucks, insurance, pharma. Noise. They cost you attention but not customers.
Applebee's. Wingstop. Taco Bell. DoorDash. Uber Eats. National campaigns built for football audiences — playing to the fans sitting in your bar.
Try it: watch one full game from a barstool with a notepad and sort every ad into the three piles. Pile 3 is bigger than you think.
Conservative math from one independent number. Screens don't lift everything you sell — they lift the items you put on them.
%You can't take the ads out of the broadcast. You can decide what every other screen in the room is doing. Thursti makes that a 10-minute setup instead of a project.

The best evidence on in-venue screens is a four-year field study across 237 campaigns and 30 million receipts: items promoted on screen sold 8.1% more on average, with the biggest lifts for new items and for messages that made people want something rather than just informing them. Screens added nothing on top of a discount — so promote the item, not the markdown.
Restaurant-industry research says the audience is already looking: Datassential found 63% of guests read menu boards to learn about specials — and 30% of operators never put their promotions there. One in three guests ordered the cheapest item simply because it was the easiest to find. Dwell-time research points the same way: a 1% longer stay correlates with roughly 1.3% more spend.
None of this doubles your sales. It is a few percent — on guests you already paid to bring in — every day, without adding a staff member. Independent bars typically net 10–15%, so a few percent of revenue is a real share of profit.

No. Thursti runs on any screen with a browser: a built-in Google TV, any computer, or a $30 Android/Fire stick plugged into the TV you already own.
Yes — that's the whole point. Keep the broadcast on your main screens. Thursti runs on the side screens, menu boards, and the TVs over the bar that nobody was really watching anyway.
Most venues are live in about 10 minutes: create the account, snap a photo of your menu, pair a screen.
The free plan shows occasional ads between your content slides. Pro ($39/mo) removes them entirely so the only message on your screens is yours.
Yes. Build separate playlists for breakfast, lunch, happy hour, game day and last call, and Thursti switches automatically.
Thursti carries live scores and standings for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, NWSL, PWHL, college football and basketball (men's and women's), MLS, the Premier League, Champions League and more — so a fan of the "other" game keeps their eyes on your screen, and your specials rotate in right beside it.
Set up Thursti on one side screen tonight. If it doesn't earn its spot by the end of the game, take it down. It's free.
