Why Amazon Signage Stick with Taplist?

Created For Your Counter, Not Your Couch
Purpose-built for business, Amazon Signage Stick skips unnecessary consumer features and is tailor-made for TV-screen menus in commercial environments. Boot directly into Taplist and prevent unwanted apps with Kiosk mode lockdown.
Set It and Actually Forget It
Amazon Signage Stick auto-relaunches Taplist every time—after power outages, network disruptions, or system updates. And uses commercial-grade components designed for continuous use. Your menus stay live 24/7 without you lifting a finger.
Manage All Your Displays from HQ... or Home
Managing consumer streaming devices require you to be in front of the TV, with a remote, one screen at a time. Amazon Signage Stick gives you remote management, plug-and-play setup, centralized monitoring and automatic updates across all your screens and locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
We've prepared some answers to our most frequently-asked questions.
No. Your Taplist subscription stays the same regardless of which hardware you use. Amazon Signage Stick is just the display hardware—it doesn't affect your Taplist pricing or features. You can use Amazon Fire TV Stick, Amazon Signage Stick, Apple TV, Roku or any supported device with the same Taplist account.
Absolutely. Many customers use Amazon Fire TV Stick at some locations and Amazon Signage Stick at others. All devices appear in the same Taplist dashboard, so you manage everything from one place. This is perfect if you want to test Amazon Signage Stick at high-priority locations before rolling it out everywhere.
Yes—we fully support Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Raspberry Pi, and have no plans to change that. However, we recommend Amazon devices (Fire TV Stick or Amazon Signage Stick) because they consistently deliver the best performance for digital menus. In our experience across thousands of venues, Amazon hardware offers superior reliability, easier setup, and better long-term support that pairs perfectly with Taplist. More specifically, the Amazon Signage Stick is purpose-built for menus and digital signage, providing a recommended option for simplifying and scaling professional signage in a cost-conscious manner.
Amazon Signage Stick is available directly from Amazon.com. You can order online and have it shipped to your venue, typically within 1-2 business days. We'll provide direct purchase links and setup guides once you're ready to order. For Enterprise plans, we typically bundle Amazon Signage Sticks with Taplist pre-loaded for plug-and-play ease.
Each Amazon Signage Stick includes the device (media player), power adapter, HDMI cable, and access to Amazon's Signage mobile app for management. You'll need a TV with HDMI input and WiFi or ethernet connectivity. That's it—no additional hardware required.
Setup takes about 5 minutes:
1. Plug Signage Stick into your TV's HDMI port and connect power
2. Download the Amazon Signage mobile app on your phone
3. Select Taplist from the CMS menu in the app
4. Enter your Taplist venue code

Amazon Signage offers online support resources and assistance via a support alias (signage-support@amazon.com). Amazon also offers standard return policies for Amazon Signage Stick purchases. Additionally, Taplist works on multiple hardware platforms, so you can always switch to Fire TV Stick, Roku, or another supported device if Amazon Signage Stick doesn't meet your needs. We're here to help troubleshoot and ensure you find the right setup for your operation.
No. Amazon Signage Stick is a one-time hardware purchase (around $99). There are no monthly fees, subscriptions, or ongoing costs for the device itself. You only pay for your Taplist subscription, which covers multiple displays regardless of hardware type.
Yes—that's one of its biggest advantages. Using Amazon's Signage mobile app or web portal, you can:
• Monitor the status of all Signage Sticks across all locations
• Restart devices remotely
• Push configuration updates
• Check connectivity and health status
• Provision new devices without being on-site
Taplist already enables remote-management of your menus across your screens and locations. Now you're able to manage your streaming hardware to ensure complete remote management. This is especially valuable for multi-location operators who can't physically visit every venue regularly.
Both work great with Taplist. Here are the key differences:
Fire TV Stick (~$30-40):
• Consumer device adapted for business
• Individual device management
• Great for single locations
• Best value for most customers with limited number of displays
Amazon Signage Stick (~$99):
• Purpose-built for commercial signage
• Centralized remote management
• Built for 24/7 operation
• Best for multi-location or high-uptime needs
• Auto-relaunches after every update or outage
We recommend Fire TV Stick for single screens/location and Amazon Signage Stick when uptime, scale, and remote management matter.
Amazon Signage Stick is just the display hardware—it shows your Taplist menu. Taplist integrates directly with POS systems like GoTab, Square, and Toast regardless of which display hardware you use. So yes, your existing POS integration will work perfectly with Signage Stick.
Both Taplist and Untappd support Amazon Signage Stick, so you get the same commercial-grade hardware either way. The difference is in the menu management software:
Taplist advantages:
• $588/year vs. Untappd's ~$1,199/year (save $600+)
• Direct POS integration vs. manual menu entry
• Optional private database vs. forced public listings
• All menu items included vs. premium tier requirements
• Transparent pricing vs. hidden costs
• And many more...
Same professional hardware, better menu software, better value. For a full breakdown, visit our comparison guide.
No—it's actually simpler than Fire TV Stick. Amazon's Signage mobile app walks you through setup in about 5 minutes. Plug it in, open the app, select Taplist, and enter your code. For multi-location operators, saved profiles make bulk deployment fast.
Taplist caches your menu data locally on Signage Stick, so your menu continues displaying even during internet outages. When connectivity returns, Signage Stick automatically reconnects and syncs any menu changes you made while offline. The auto-relaunch feature also ensures the device restarts Taplist automatically after network disruptions.
Absolutely. We recommend starting with 1-2 Signage Sticks at your highest-priority locations to test performance before rolling out to all venues. You can mix Fire TV Stick and Signage Stick across locations, so there's no pressure to commit to one hardware type everywhere. Many customers start with Signage Stick at flagship locations and Fire TV Stick at smaller venues.
