A seaside cafe or restaurant lives on footfall, yet your best asset — the view — only works on people already sitting at a table. Real View puts it in front of customers while they are still deciding where to go.
Become a Real View CreatorPeople will travel for a table with a view, and yours is the reason customers choose you over the place next door. The trouble is that the view only does its job once someone is already there. While they are at home deciding where to spend the afternoon, they cannot see what they are missing, and your busiest tables stay a local secret.
Real View changes that. We place a live, real-time view from your cafe or restaurant in front of an audience, with your venue named on screen. Locals and visitors see your sea view as it is right now — the light on the water, the harbour, the sunset — and that glimpse is what turns an undecided afternoon into a visit to you.
A live sea view is an advert that never closes — quietly tempting people towards a table with you.
More footfall, a stronger name and marketing that works from dawn to dusk.
A live look at your sea view tempts people to come and enjoy it in person — the most natural call to action a seaside venue can have.
Your venue is named on screen with the view, putting your cafe or restaurant in front of locals and visitors choosing where to eat and drink.
Your outlook travels into homes and workplaces, building a following of people who love your view and visit when they can.
Once connected, the view runs on its own — no posting, no editing, just your setting working for you from morning to night.
Whether you already have a camera or are starting from scratch, getting your view live is simple.
Already stream a camera online? We can work with your existing feed. Starting from scratch? The Real View Bridge — a small, pre-configured Raspberry Pi device — connects an ordinary camera to the platform with no technical work on your part.
We handle the deployment. Your view goes live as a stable, broadcast-quality feed with your business named on screen — nothing for your team to manage day to day.
Your view goes live in the free Real View app, with your business named on screen for everyone watching at home. You can run the very same view on a TV at your own venue, turning a screen by the door into a live window onto your location.
No camera yet? Our step-by-step setup guide lists the exact parts and includes our pre-configured Raspberry Pi image, so set-up stays simple and inexpensive.
Tell us about your coastal cafe or restaurant and the view you'd like to share. We'll handle the set-up and help you bring more customers through the door.
