MENU BOARD Digital Signage menus for restaurants

It is a digital system for presenting restaurant menus on digital signage screens. Typically, these are high-brightness professional screens that display the daily menu, promotions, and videos to engage consumers. These systems are managed by content management software, which communicates with the screens to display the content. Some allow for a QR Code to identify a product, a promotion, or the location, or simply to access content or respond to a survey. The screens can have presence sensors, count people, know if they are looking at the screen, and thus present traffic indicators. Some of these digital signage content management software already have specific templates for each area, as well as allow for business data integration.
