Digital menu boards: Digital signage in gastronomy

The eye eats with you - The advantages of a digital menu

Digital menu boards are the perfect choice for visualizing information. In contrast to a large video wall, which is primarily used for entertainment, digital menu boards usually focus on the selection of food and drinks. In this regard, digital menu boards offer several advantages.

Flexibility

Like all digital info displays, digital menu boards always work with up-to-date data. With the digital signage solution from "Digital Signage", you can easily display special offers and make menu changes remotely at any time. Prices need to be changed? No problem. Want to remove the item completely? No problem. That is possible at any time. If you have different menus depending on the time of day, they can be changed manually or set automatically by time control. If certain dishes are sold out, the digital menu board takes this into account. Even daily updated menus or special promotions can be reliably displayed with the help of modern cloud-based digital signage solutions.

Cost savings

Of course, at first glance, the costs for an innovative digital signage player and the associated digital signage software are significantly higher than would be the case with a printed menu. Nevertheless, digital menu boards convince with immense cost savings in the long run. After all, they reduce processing times and at the same time eliminate printing and shipping costs.

Increased sales

It has long been no secret how well digital signage works at the point of sale. But in addition to digital shop window displays or outdoor steles, digital menu boards are also becoming increasingly popular. Because just like a classic customer stopper or a digital bulletin board in companies or public authorities, digital menus with special offers and clever product placements immediately attract the attention of your clientele. Ideally, this results in a direct increase in your sales.

Simplified labeling

Food labeling laws play a key role in the day-to-day operations of restaurants or snack bars. Specialized software helps you record this information quickly and easily. In addition, digital menu boards make it much easier to view the relevant nutritional information.

Reduce waiting time

Although you can't directly shorten the waiting time of your guests, you can make it not seem so long to your customers - with the help of a digital menu board. Ideally, this should immediately catch the attention of those waiting. The reason for this is that people react strongly to visual stimuli. This, in turn, makes your customers feel like they spend less time waiting. It is not without reason that digital signage displays are also used in the form of waiting room TVs in many medical practices.

All information - at a glance

Customers and employees can also access additional information immediately via the digital menu board:

• Current news in real time
• Posts in social media
• Operating hours
• Current time and local weather
• Advertisements
• Fun facts about your restaurant
• News from the restaurant community
