The range is described in full below.
A digital menu board is a set of screens plus a dependable way to keep prices and promotions right. We help you choose the screens, plan the layout above your counter and scope the content management that lets your team change a menu without reprinting it.
Quote-led, not a checkout: we confirm the configuration, price and lead time in your quotation.
Overview
Printed menus are slow and costly to change, which is why prices drift out of date and promotions get taped over the top. A digital menu board replaces them with one screen or a row of screens that your team can update for a new dish, a sold-out item or a different time of day.
In the restaurant systems we supply, the menu board is an optional component that sits alongside the cashier station, the ordering kiosk, the kitchen printer or kitchen screen and the queue screen. The catalogue pictures it as a row of three landscape screens carrying one continuous menu, but it gives no hardware specification for it. We therefore do not quote a size, brightness or mounting figure on this page.
Instead, the screens are selected from our display families to suit your site. The usual choice above a counter is the wall-mounted advertising display range. A stretched bar display fits the narrow band above a servery or below a counter top, and a high-brightness shop window display suits a menu that faces the street. The specifications that apply are those of the family you choose, confirmed with your quotation.
The second half of the project is content. We can scope digital signage content management around the way you work: who edits the menu, how promotions are scheduled and how several sites stay consistent. If you also run ordering kiosks, whether the menu board reads the same product and price data is a defined piece of integration work, described under restaurant ordering software and the restaurant workflow, and quoted separately.
Suitable applications
A row of landscape screens above the counter shows the full menu to the whole queue. One screen can be given over to the current promotion without disturbing the rest.
One or two screens are often enough for a short menu. For example, a café could show breakfast items in the morning and switch to lunch and cakes at a set time.
Pair an indoor menu screen with a high-brightness window-facing screen, so passers-by see today’s offers and customers inside see the full price list.
Example application: a workplace canteen publishes a menu that changes daily, with allergen notes beside each dish, from a laptop in the kitchen office.
Drinks lists, event listings and meal deals can share a row of screens, with the mix changing between daytime and evening trade.
Key features
The catalogue shows the menu board as an optional addition in each of its restaurant system configurations, next to the cashier station, ordering kiosk, kitchen equipment and queue screen.
A three-screen landscape row is pictured. The number of screens for your counter is planned around menu length, viewing distance and the wall space you have.
Wall-mounted, stretched bar and window-facing displays each suit a different position. The specification is that of the family you select, confirmed with your quotation.
We can scope content management for scheduled menus, promotions and multi-site updates. It is developed around your requirements and quoted separately from the screens.
Readable menus need the right type size, contrast and grouping for the distance people stand at. Layout and artwork can be produced through our design and branding service.
Design options
Three landscape screens set edge to edge in one row, with menu items and prices running across all three. It is pictured as an illustration only, so no enclosure, bracket or bezel detail can be seen.

Installation considerations
Plan from where the queue stands. Mounting height, viewing distance and the angle from the back of the queue decide the screen size and how much text each screen can carry.
Provide power and a data point at screen height, ideally hidden behind the screens, before the wall is finished or tiled.
Keep standard indoor screens away from fryers, grills and steam. Heat and grease shorten the life of any display, so position and ventilation are agreed during the site review.
Use the same screen model across a row and a bracket system that allows fine levelling, so the menu lines up from one screen to the next.
Where a menu faces the street through glass, choose a high-brightness window-facing screen rather than a standard indoor display.
Fixing, cabling and commissioning can be arranged through our [installation and rollout service](/services/installation-rollout), quoted separately from the hardware.

Frequently asked questions
No. The catalogue shows a menu board only as an optional part of a restaurant system and gives no hardware specification for it. We build a menu board from one of our display families — usually wall-mounted displays, sometimes stretched bar or high-brightness window displays — so the size, brightness and mounting are those of the screens you select, confirmed with your quotation.
It depends on the length of your menu, how far away customers stand and the wall space above the counter. As a guide, a short café menu can work on one or two screens, while a counter with several categories often uses a row of three, as pictured in the catalogue. We plan the layout with you before recommending a screen size.
That is an integration question rather than a screen feature. Where your ordering or till system can share its product and price data, we can scope a link so the menu board reflects it, subject to the agreed integration. Otherwise menus are edited in the content management tool. See software integrations for how we approach this.
Scheduling by time of day, such as breakfast, lunch and evening menus, is a typical requirement for digital signage content management and one we can scope for you. The exact scheduling rules are agreed with you and developed around how your kitchen and front of house work.
It depends on how you want to update them. Some display families support simple USB playback, which needs no network but means visiting each screen to change content. Central scheduling across screens or sites needs a network connection at the counter. We agree the approach with you and set it out in the quotation.
Hardware, software development, design work and ongoing management are described and quoted separately, so you can see what each part covers. Prices, lead times, warranty and support terms are set out in your quotation rather than on this website.
Add it to your enquiry with the options you know, or ask for advice. We recommend the right configuration and confirm it in a written quotation.
