Digital Menu Boards for Restaurants

A digital menu board can increase revenue and customer satisfaction through a lower perceived wait time.

Digital menu boards do not have to be expensive either! There are plenty of options to do it yourself (DIY) and low cost or free software to run them!

How do digital menu boards work?

Digital menu boards consist of 3 main components.

Digital display

You will need a digital display or tv to serve as your menu. Many people opt to go with a regular television however they don't realize that those won't last very long.

You really want a commercial display that is meant to run 24/7.

Using a commercial display will keep from having the image of one template burned into the screen.

Using a regular flat screen tv for an extended period can also cause it to malfunction or overheat.

Media Player

A media player is the device that controls what content is playing on the screen. Many digital menu boards now include a media player internally but typically they are a separate component.

The media players can be controlled by USB, LAN, or WiFi. They are really the brains of your digital menu boards.

Software

There is a wide range of software you can use to create the menu for your displays including free and paid versions.

Something as simple as Microsoft Powerpoint can be used to create a graphic and then uploaded to your display via USB.
