Yes digital menu boards are perfect for advertising “meal deals”, as the content can be updated with a few clicks of a mouse, whilst creating an entertainment experience for the customer.

This is a win win situation for everyone.

Menu boards do appear to be an obvious application for DDS. We have a number of installations throughout Australasia which conform to the model shown in the blog, but of course using our own Wallflower software ! the largest of these is in the Crown Casino in Melbourne who use 42 inch landscape displays paired. These are used in most of the food outlets to display a mix of menus and promotional content. In a situation such as that one of the main advantages is being able to show menus that are sensitive to time of day. Breakfast, Lunch etc.

I believe that Scala have a number of McDonalds installations in Germany.

Locally in New Zealand one of the most innovative installations consists of portrait 50 inch displays mounted one directly above the other for a chain of pizza outlets. Their branding is ‘Hell Pizza’ and we show a combination of music video content and menus with flame effects to match their corporate style.

One of the main concerns with menu boards is the issue of screen burn. In many cases the content is by its very nature static as customers need time to be able to read the menus and decide on their choices. The content needs to be carefully designed to overcome this.
