Parents waiting in the foyer are the easiest audience in town.
Bowling alleys, cinemas, soft play, trampoline parks and escape rooms all have the same thing: people standing about between sessions. Show them the party packages, the next session times and the café menu — and let family businesses nearby pay for the wait.
Free to join, free to run your venue screens. You only pay if you want to advertise on someone else’s.
On a venue screen
What you would actually put on it.
Families wait in foyers and cafés between sessions, often for an hour or more while the children play.
Party packages
The birthday offer, photographed properly, with a QR code on the poster for the booking page — shown to exactly the parents organising the next one.
What is on next
Session times, the next film, the lane that has just come free. A notice card you change from the front desk.
The café menu
Your QR menu as a board, so the queue has decided before it reaches the counter.
Holiday and term-time offers
Half-term deals and school-holiday opening, switched on the week the holidays start.
And it earns
A family venue gathers parents in one place for long stretches, and plenty of local businesses want exactly those parents.
Children's clubs, tutors, family restaurants and party suppliers will pay for the foyer screen, and you approve every advert.
Who wants your room: Children's activity and sports clubs, tutors, family restaurants, party entertainers and cake makers, swimming schools, and holiday clubs.
70% is yours
You set the price per play and 70% of it reaches you. There is nothing else to pay — no subscription, no listing fee, no hardware.
Only real plays count
A play pays out only if the screen was on, visible and verified. Nobody is billed for a dark screen.
10p in, 10p out
A credit is worth the same whether you buy it or cash it out. Withdraw from 500 credits.
Do the sum
What would a venue screen earn?
Opens on the hours and the price a venue actually trades at, and on a quiet week rather than a good one.
Your screen
Trading hours, not opening hours. A screen nobody is looking at earns nothing, and the player knows the difference.
This is the honest unknown, and it is about demand rather than your loop — which could carry about 91 an hour at 30%. It starts on quiet on purpose.
You set this, and you can change it whenever you like.
The rest of the loop stays yours. This sets the ceiling, not the demand.
You would earn, roughly
£63.90 a month
639 credits · £766.80 a year
The same screen, three ways
An estimate, not an offer. You are paid only for plays the screen proves — an advert of about 10s with a signed token and a heartbeat showing the screen was awake and in view. The same advertiser cannot play twice within 40 seconds or more than 40 times an hour on your screen, so busy hours need several advertisers, not one repeated. Several TVs showing one loop count as one play — you price the set.
On the wall
How it looks in bowling, cinemas and family venues.
The screen in each of these is the real DisplayCircle player, laid over the television in the photograph.
Questions
What bowling, cinemas and family venues ask.
Children see the screen too.
Which is why nothing plays that you have not approved. Every advert arrives with a preview, and you can keep the loop to your own content entirely.
We have screens in several areas.
Pair each one as its own screen with its own loop — the foyer can sell parties while the café screen shows the menu.
Can it pull in our film or session times?
Not from a booking system. Times go on as notice cards, which takes a minute from a phone, or as a poster you upload.
Another trade?

Your venue screen could be working tonight.
Free account, no card, no hardware. Open the player on the TV and scan the code with your phone.
