Smart Digital Menu Boards

Digital menu boards are foundational to a positive customer experience and drive thru efficiency at scale. Deliver accurate, relevant menu content that updates in real time, so the right information and promotions reach the right customer no matter where they are in the ordering journey. By layering on advanced technology, such as wireless sensors, cameras and AI, you can customize and personalize the ordering experience. From quick service restaurants to grocery and convenience stores, smart digital menu boards are proven to speed up service, offset labor challenges and ultimately increase sales.

SMART DIGITAL DISPLAYS

Show menu items, offers and promotions with optimal clarity and relevance.

SENSORS

Gather data that gives valuable insights into what’s happening in and around your restaurant or store.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Personalize, automate and optimize the store, restaurant interior and drive thru experience to improve sales, loyalty and efficiency.

Seamlessly Connect the Online Ordering and Order Pickup Journey

Strategically placed digital signs and digital menu boards make an immediate impact on all aspects of customer experience, including menu navigation and decision making. A traditional digital menu board shows images and enticing video of your menu offering, Limited Time Offers (LTOs) and promotions. A modern digital menu board is a dynamic, data-driven communication platform that is truly integrated in your communications strategy, opening major opportunities for customer loyalty, engagement and satisfaction. Connect with your customers on mobile and seamlessly continue the conversation in the restaurant or the store.

Drive More Sales and ROI

Whether driving sales in the QSR drive thru, inside the convenience store, at the grocery store deli counter, movie theater or other high volume retail environment, digital menu boards are proven to increase average check.

Digital Menu Boards in the Drive Thru

The accuracy and convenience of “smart” digital menu boards begins before the customer places their order. Taking into account real-time, conditional insights, digital menu boards deliver a relevant, customized experience for the consumer. This is particularly true in the drive thru. Digital signs and menu boards allow you to greet the customer, highlight LTOs and high margin items, display relevant menu suggestions and ensure accuracy with a menu confirmation board. Digital menu boards in the drive thru open up an opportunity for true one-to-one personalization. By recognizing known, loyal customers when they enter the drive thru, rules on the backend can trigger the digital menu board to update in real time, promoting items that appeal to each unique customer, or highlighting relevant, higher margin menu items.
Digital Menu Board Software
Managing content and hardware at scale

Scale is the most important factor to consider when approaching a new digital menu board deployment. Most content management systems are designed with a small handful of endpoints in mind: mobile, tablet, and desktop. In digital signage, often we see variations in content across locations. Everything from pricing to LTOs needs to be flexible to the right authorized user.

Your CMS also needs to be able to accommodate network differences. Rural locations might have far less bandwidth for image downloads than urban locations.

Digital Menu Board Software will accommodate locales for both the network and end-users.
