Frequently asked.

No. Plenty of people use MixKings without any screen at all, to build and organize their recipes, pull them up while mixing, browse the community, and share drinks with friends. When you do want a menu board, the app's Display mode turns a phone or iPad into the screen itself. An Apple TV, Fire TV, or Chromecast just puts your menu on the big screen in the room.

No — casting is free, on every account. The optional one-time Pro upgrade removes the small MixKings credit at the bottom of the TV view and lifts the collection cap.

Yes. Edit a drink, swap a color, reorder a section — connected TVs reflect the change in real time. No re-casting needed.

Yes. Pair as many TVs as you like — Apple TV or Fire TV — and each displays your live menu. Cast to a Chromecast on top of that, too.

On the Apple TV remote, press the center (select) button while your menu is on screen, then choose Pair a different phone. The TV shows a fresh 6-digit code, and whoever pairs next takes over the display. Perfect for a shift change where each bartender shows their own menu. The remote is the only thing that can trigger this, so a guest's phone can't hijack your screen.

Once an Apple TV is paired, it shows your menu on its own — your phone doesn't have to stay in the room. You just need your phone (online) to make edits.

Casting and syncing to a TV need an internet connection. You can still build and preview your menu on your phone offline; it syncs to any connected screen once you're back online.

No. Your menu shows only on screens you connect. Sharing is deliberate and scoped: send someone a single recipe, post a drink to Rooms, or share what's on display from bartender mode. Your whole library is never shareable or browsable by strangers.
