Digital restaurant menu boards that change with the daypart

A menu board is the highest value screen in the building. It sets the order, it carries the price, and when it is wrong it is wrong in front of a queue.

Breakfast is still up at two in the afternoon

Printed boards cost a reprint every time a price moves. Screens fix that, and then introduce a new problem: nobody in head office knows which board is showing which menu right now. A price change that missed three sites is a refund conversation at three counters.

Build your menu board right here, without an account

The screen builder below opens on a restaurant menu board. Type your restaurant name and three dishes, switch to portrait for a drive thru, and watch the board run its loop with a live clock and a scrolling ticker.

Venue

Orientation

Layout

Weekly schedule
  • Venue: restaurant, retail store, clinic, gym, office or school
  • Orientation: landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16
  • Layout: full bleed, main plus sidebar, or a menu board in three columns
  • Content: your business name and three short lines, prefilled for the venue you picked

The schedule strip underneath shows the same playlist placed on a weekly grid, which is exactly what the schedule view does inside the product.

What Displayer does for a menu board

  • Three column menu board templates that hold your type, your colours and your photography
  • Dayparts, so breakfast, lunch and evening menus change themselves at the times you set
  • Price and item changes pushed to every venue at once, or to one region
  • Sold out and 86 items removed from the board in seconds, from a phone
  • Portrait and landscape boards side by side on the same wall
  • Proof of play, so you can see the current menu was on the board in every venue
  • Offline playback, so a bad connection never blanks a board above a queue

Getting a board up

  1. 01

    Pair the screen

    Open the pairing URL on the TV, the Android stick or the mini PC behind the board, and type the six digits into the panel. No dedicated menu board hardware.

  2. 02

    Build the board from a template

    Pick a three column layout, drop in categories, items and prices, and set your brand type and colours. Save it as the template every venue uses.

  3. 03

    Put it on the daypart grid

    Breakfast until 11, lunch until 16, evening after that. The board follows the trading day without anyone in the kitchen touching a remote.

For a group, not just a site

Tag boards by brand, region or venue and schedule against the tag. A new price reaches 40 restaurants in one action, and the proof of play record shows which boards took it and when. Roles keep a venue manager on their own screens, and approval can stand between a draft menu and the whole estate.

What it costs

Billed per active screen. A restaurant with three boards behind the counter counts as three screens. Essential is 19 USD per screen monthly, Professional is 29 USD and adds dayparts, groups and proof of play, which is where most groups land. Full detail on the pricing page.

Can I show sold out items differently

Yes. Mark an item unavailable and the board greys it, or removes it, depending on the template. The change reaches the board on the next check in, in seconds.

Do menu boards work in portrait

Yes. Portrait boards are common in narrow service areas, and the templates, schedule and builder all work at 9:16.

What happens if the restaurant loses internet

The board keeps playing the menu it already holds, including the daypart changes. When the connection returns, the play records it stored are uploaded so the gap is visible in the report.

Draw your board in the builder

Pick the menu board layout, type three lines, and watch it render at the aspect ratio of your wall. No account needed.
