Digital Menu Board for Restaurants: Screens That Sell
Digital menu boards need hierarchy, dayparts, and instant price updates — not a PowerPoint exported once a quarter.
Layout that sells
Hero items largest, modifiers readable from 2m, allergens not tiny.
- 3–5 items per screen zone
- High contrast
- Daypart day/night
Ops reality
When the board is wrong, staff invents prices. Sync from one menu system.
