What are Digital Menu Boards?
Digital menu boards are dynamic display screens used in restaurants, cafés, fast food chains and other food service environments to showcase menu items, promotions and announcements. Typically mounted above counters or in high visibility areas, they work in combination with digital menu board software to replace traditional static signs with vibrant LED or LCD screens that deliver real time, customizable content. This modern approach allows businesses to engage customers, update pricing instantly and maintain consistent branding across locations.
