What is a Menu Board?
Menu Board
A menu board is a graphic display or a list that shows items (typically food and drink) and their prices. Each menu board varies in price, information, font, and size. Menu boards allow your company the opportunity to grab a person’s attention and convey a large amount of information to them in a relatively short amount of time. Effective menu signage can boost sales by encouraging additional purchases by drawing the eye towards sales and promotions. Investing in high-quality menu boards will ultimately be a great solution for any business looking to increase sales.
Menu boards aren’t just designs; they are a business strategy utilized by many different companies. Effective menu signage produces results that are clear and measurable. Once the customers have read and understood the message your signage displays, they should feel motivated to make decisions and hopefully purchases.
With digital drive-thru menu boards, you can create and deliver amazing content that is easily changeable if you have menu changes, product availability changes, adjustments to store hours, or new health and safety protocols. Digital menu displays allow visual and audio messaging that has a significant impact on your customers. LED signage systems can even allow your company to convey information to customers in real time. Digital menu boards reduce contact and enhance order efficiency. These menus are a comprehensive solution for any business. Digital menu boards are available in different styles and layouts, even hybrid approaches exist (which can be static, partially digital, and fully digital).
