Further, technology today has unleashed sophisticated digital/LED screens and menu boards in the market for best audio-visual viewing pleasure.

The Digital Menu Board – Hardware Options
The following are the easy hardware options :-
- A Tv or a signage screen connected to an internet connection.
- A Tv or a signage screen with a memory stick or pen drive.
- A Tv or a signage screen connected with a media Player.
In recent years the use of the media Player has gained popularity among the restaurant fraternity. The digital signage player, also known as a media player, is a computer device that renders content to a TV, monitor, or other digital display. Any Tv that we see in the public space is usually powered by a media Player such as airport terminals, railway platforms, hotel lobbies, sport stadiums, and digital menus. It is available in the market for as low as $30 and as high as $1000. Among the leading manufactures are Screen Cloud and Enplug.
Digital Display Content
We all know content is king. And today, digital signage technology has brought about manufacture of sophisticated digital screens in the form of LED technology which facilitates the best presentation of menu boards with optimum viewing pleasure. It all boils down to enticing customers in the quickest possible time by showcasing a brilliantly devised menu board. The more the customers, more the sales and profitability. In this context, advent of internet and online services have opened up the landscape of digital menu boards. Hitherto, restaurateurs had to take recourse to offline services relating to menu board content, which was in most cases time consuming and expensive. Today, online companies specializing in designing and creativity of menu boards rule the roost thereby saving time and costs for the restaurateur. The benefits of online menu board design are the following :
