why (oh why) digital signage for restaurants?
It might tickle your mind to know that digital signage increases impulse purchases. Actually, they turn 19% of consumers into kids in a candy store (read: more compelled to buy).
Here’s proof: just last week, our developers entered the office with a box of donuts. Actually, two boxes (and one already inhaled). 3 for 1 – irresistible! Why? Because who can resist a powder pink Doughboy dancing on screen?
But it’s not just pretty glazes and raining sprinkles that restaurants love about digital signage. It’s also the results. After all, wait times seem faster when digital signs are there to occupy the mind. Like, 35% faster. So customer smiles stretch wider. Read: more room to nibble with!

💙 Anyone can update – just drag and drop

tip 1: elevate experiences with digital menu board software
Along with cooking meat in the microwave. Jiggling jelly out of veggies. And drizzling hollandaise over ham covered bananas.* Chalkboards are out. Sure, they were cute for a little bit. But a static menu can only do so much. It’s a big reason why 88% of restaurants are considering the swap to digital.
*A real recipe – here’s proof.
Delight your customers with digital menu board software that delivers. After all, 74% of customers say an easy-to-read menu is their top priority. And it takes just ¼ of a second for the brain to process visual cues. So digital signage makes sense. Elevate experiences. Pique interest. And communicate more quickly. All in one.
Check out these digital menu boards brought to life in minutes.
Order up! Elevated experiences are just a few clicks away
Update in minutes – sold out of a dish? Dreaming of a new one you wanna trial? Received twenty kilos of free chocolate and need to think on your feet (we’ll help)? Update signs in a few simple clicks, even during service.
Here, see it in action.
Schedule weekly specials – Taco Tuesday. Wings Wednesday. Unlimited donuts between 8 am – 10:28 am every second Thursday. Firstly, yum. Secondly, have your screens update without you around.
Automate for seatings – use the dayparting function to automatically update content at certain times of day. Think: breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. Simply set and forget. How easy is that?
tip 2: schedule your digital signage content & save time
Like margherita pizzas, truffle oil and (especially) fish sauce. When it comes to digital signage for restaurants: less is more. That’s why our quick start guide features just three steps. The ones you need to get content up and running on your screens.
Here’s exactly how to deploy our digital signage software for restaurants:
- Click ‘Playlists’
- Click ‘Add Playlist’ and name it (Breakfast, for example!)
- Click ‘Add Assets’
- Select the folder you’d like to upload to
- Drag your chosen images or videos in (or click ‘Browse’ to find them)
That’s it – *Pop! Pop!* << your celebratory Champagne
While you’re preparing for rush hour, know your digital signage has got your back. In fact, it’ll be smooth sailing in less time than it takes for your pot to come to a boil. #fact
Use the scheduling function to:
💙 Change content based on the time of day, or day of the week
💙 Have more people on the floor (not at the printers)
tip 3: promote eye-catching events (templates)
Your customers are always front of mind. After all, it’s those hungry bellies that keep your business running! So, once they’re in store, communicating what’s coming up is essential. Turn heads with digital signage in your restaurant. A high-end experience on less than a packet ramen budget.
But between paying a designer, printing out posters and updating signs across the store one by one… hard copy signs aren’t exactly riveting. And your team’s time could be used much better.
