Bring your menu options to life
Thinking of using digital menu boards for your food retail business? Wanting to replace the displays you already have? Well, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve supplied and installed thousands of digital menu boards around the UK at cinemas, fast food outlets, bowling alleys, bars, stadiums and many other food retail venues.
We can also help you create compelling content, unique to your brand, that will market your food and beverage offering more effectively.
What are digital menu boards?
Digital menu boards are used to show your menu items, prices, promotions, product images and other customer information and are made up of four key elements: a screen, media player (a small computer), a mount, software and an internet connection.
From a technical point of view, they’re just like any other standard digital signage display, the only difference is the content that appears on the screen.
If your screens are in or above a hot, humid kitchen or outdoors, you’ll need hardware that’s designed for that environment. Outdoor menu boards (e.g. for drive-through) will also need an enclosure to protect them.
Types of digital menu board we can supply & install (models/prices on request)
All standard sizes (32″-55″) & manufacturers (e.g. Samsung, NEC, LG, Phillips)
Portrait, square, or landscape
Touchscreen or display only
Indoor and outdoor use

LCD or LED screens

Why we don't display our menu board prices
There are three key reasons we don’t display our menu board prices on our website.
- We set our hardware prices based on what we’re paying. We shop around for the best prices, and where we can, we use bulk buying to get better rates from our suppliers and pass those savings on to you. If we charged a flat rate, you’d inevitably pay more.
- The more hardware and services you buy from us, the more our prices come down. We like to form long term relationships with our clients and reward them for spending more with us.
- Prices and models vary massively. There are so many different screen sizes and models with different benefits for different prices, that showing the price of one or two can be really misleading.

Counter-top mounts

Why use digital menu boards?
Volume of promotional space – Digital menu boards are a flexible and efficient way to manage and market your menu. They’re vivid so they attract more attention than static printed signs and give you much more promotional space to work with. They enables you to show menu items, price lists, calorie/allergen info, highlight promotions, show attractive product imagery that will appeal to your customers.
Attention-grabbing animation – Attractive imagery is proven to influence sales, with 93% of purchasing decisions influenced by a product’s visual appearance. Digital menu boards give you the ability to animate your menu, showing videos of products from different angles and in different serving suggestions, making them look more attractive.
Flexibility – Menu boards also give you the flexibility to change your menu or promotional messages at any given time. As such, you can dial up/down the frequency of whichever information you want in line with stock availability, customer demographics at different times, or even the weather. You can also have seasonal menus that switch automatically on a specified date.
Automatic price updates – You can integrate digital menu board displays with EPOS systems so any changes are updated on screen automatically, ensuring your prices and availability are always accurate.
