Digital signage for restaurants is cloud-based menu board software that displays menus, daily specials, drive-thru content, social walls, and promotions on any TV in your restaurant. Display Technology runs from a web browser, works with the screens you already own, costs from $15/month, and includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
Menu boards, daily specials, social walls, wait times, promotions — all from one dashboard you can update from your phone.
From $15/mo • No credit card • 2 displays included
Live menu boards with item photos, prices, modifiers, and time-of-day switching for breakfast / lunch / dinner.
See menu templates →Push the special-of-the-day to every screen in seconds. Tuesday tacos, Friday fish, weekend brunch — schedule them once, run on autopilot.
Show estimated wait times for tables or pickup orders. Reduces “how long?” questions, sets expectations, keeps customers happy.
Pull customer photos and reviews from Instagram and Facebook onto your screens. Free social proof, zero design work.
Time-based campaigns that auto-trigger. Happy hour 4–7? Lunch combo 11–2? Schedule once, runs forever.
Holiday hours, special closures, “we’re hiring,” “dine-in only.” Quick announcements that update everywhere instantly.
Restaurant operators don’t have time to learn complex software. The dashboard is built for the manager who has 30 seconds between rushes — not for an in-house designer.

Comparison reflects typical small restaurant operating costs as of Q2 2026.
Yes. Restaurant-specific templates handle live pricing, item photos, side & drink modifiers, and time-of-day menu switching. Update prices from your phone in under a minute. See menu templates →
No. Any TV with a streaming stick (Amazon Fire, Roku, Android TV), Smart TV with built-in browser, or computer with HDMI works. A $40 Fire Stick on a TV you already own is the cheapest path.
Updates push to all displays in under 30 seconds. Edit a special on your phone or laptop, click save, every screen updates.
Yes. Group displays by zone — order area, dining room, drive-thru, kitchen — and assign different content to each. Starter plan supports 2 screens, Business supports 20, Enterprise supports 100.
$15/month on the Starter plan. Covers 2 displays and includes everything — menu boards, specials, social walls, scheduling, support. No per-screen fees, no upsells. See all plans →
Yes. Drive-thru menu boards work the same as in-store, with an option for higher-brightness sun-readable commercial displays for outdoor placement. Time-of-day switching automatically shows breakfast, lunch, and dinner without manual changes.
A printed menu board costs $200-800 per design plus $40-150 per reprint when prices change. Digital signage costs $15/month flat and updates instantly. A restaurant that changes menus quarterly typically breaks even on digital within 4-6 months and saves $1,500+/year on reprints.
Display Technology runs independently of your POS — no integration is required. Most restaurants update menus directly in the signage editor. Direct POS data integrations (Square, Toast, Clover) are available on Enterprise plans for high-volume operators.
Each display caches its current content locally. If internet drops mid-service, your menu board, specials, and drive-thru displays keep playing the last-cached version. When connectivity returns, displays sync automatically. No blank screens during a Saturday-night rush.
Yes. Group displays across locations under one account. Push the same menu to every restaurant at once, or customize per-location pricing. Business plan supports up to 20 displays, Enterprise supports 100+ with multi-location admin controls.
Most restaurant managers are updating menus within 30 minutes of signing up. No design skills required — templates handle layout, you fill in items and prices. 15-minute video walkthrough, written quick-start guide, and email/chat support included.
14-day free trial. No credit card. Use the TVs you already have.
