Digital menu board software for restaurants, cafés and QSRs

Why restaurants switch from printed menus to digital menu boards

A printed menu board is out of date the moment a supplier raises a price. Reprinting costs money and time, so most operators live with crossed-out prices, taped-over items and a breakfast menu that stays up until lunch. A digital menu board removes all of that: the menu is data, and the screen always shows the current version.

DigiSignWall is cloud digital menu board software. You manage menus from a browser, and a small player behind each TV shows them. It works for a single café counter, a drive-thru lane, or hundreds of franchise locations run from head office.

What you can do with DigiSignWall menu boards

Day-part menus that switch themselves

Schedule breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night menus by time of day, weekday and date range. Run a happy-hour board from 17:00 to 19:00 on weekdays only, or a seasonal menu that starts and ends on set dates. Nobody on shift has to remember to change anything.

One price change, every screen

Prices and items are stored once and used on every board. Edit a price and it reaches every paired screen, in every location, in seconds. Regional pricing works the same way: group screens by site or region and publish different prices to each group.

Sold-out items disappear automatically

Mark an item sold out and it is hidden from every board that shows it, then comes back when you restock. With a POS integration, availability and prices can follow your till instead of being entered twice.

Layouts for every screen in the restaurant

Split a display into zones — menu columns, a looping promo video, a combo offer — or span one menu across three portrait screens above the counter. Drive-thru, counter, window and 4K menu walls are all laid out in the same editor.

Build a board in a sentence

Describe what you want to the AI assistant — “a three-item coffee menu, dark background, big prices” — and it builds an editable layout from your own photos and prices. You approve every element before it is added.

Keeps playing when the Wi-Fi drops

Each player caches its menus, so a broadband outage never leaves a blank screen in front of a queue. Changes sync as soon as the connection returns.

What you need to set up a digital menu board

1. A screen. Any TV works. For boards that run 12+ hours a day, a commercial display lasts longer and is brighter.
2. A player. An Android TV stick or box, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, a smart TV with a browser, or a Windows or Mac mini-PC. See supported hardware.
3. A free DigiSignWall account. Install the player, enter the six-digit pairing code in your dashboard, and publish your first menu. Most people are live in under 30 minutes.

How much do digital menu boards cost?

The software is the smallest part of the bill. DigiSignWall is free for one screen and $29 a month for up to 25 screens on the Pro plan — around $1.16 per screen at full use. Hardware is usually a one-off cost for the TV and a player. Our digital signage cost guide breaks down a typical single-site and multi-site budget.

Built for multi-location restaurant brands

Head office controls brand templates and network-wide campaigns; each store manager can update their own specials without touching anyone else’s screens. Role-based permissions, screen groups and live status for every display mean you always know what each location is showing right now.
