Multi-Screen Digital Menu Boards With A Single Menu Design Theme

If you have a large restaurant with many sit-in tables with a wide menu spread, it is but obvious that you would be requiring multi-screen digital menu boards. Major restaurant chains such as KFC, McDonalds and others have already installed the same many years ago, and these menu boards are exquisitely integrated into the interior designs of the restaurants and operations. And while one can place multiple screens at any time, a little thought on its aesthetics and benefits can go along way in brand building and enticing the target audience..

Let's first elucidate the technical side of things.

Step 1 for you is to design your menu in Power Point since it is easy to use and update. Place one menu per screen and give them names such as sandwiches pptx, burgers pptx, desserts pptx and so on.

Step 2 for you is to connect your menu to your menu price list data base. To make updating simpler you can place names, prices and pictures of your menu items on one spreadsheet  which can be connected to the screen by DataPoint.

Step 3 involves managing and displaying the data on the digital screens. If you  have a single location you can use Dynamic wall software, and if have multi-location restaurants you can use iPoint. ipoint is a digital signage player which helps connect specific menu data on specific monitor screens. iPoint can display other graphic or advertising videos as well, as per your choice, which you can share with your customers.
