Why use a menu board in a restaurant?

Referring customers

The menu board offers several advantages: on the one hand, it simplifies the customer's choice of order, generally offering an overview of all new products, as well as the store 's flagship products. This makes it easier for customers to make decisions, and saves them time. For the restaurateur, the menu board means less time spent at the cash register. Not only does it relieve staff of stress, it also frees up time and space for greater productivity.

Digital screens tend to attract the eye. They showcase the brand's offerings and graphics, creating a real showcase for the establishment. In the queue, above the tills, in the window, dynamic screens accompany customers through the ordering process and optimize their experience in the restaurant.

Boosting team productivity

The menu board makes the menu available to customers, facilitating order-taking and the work of the teams. The ordering process is optimized, giving customers more freedom to choose and staff more time to prepare the dishes. Waiting times are reduced, thus relieving queues within the restaurant.

On the other hand, it increases employee productivity and consequently sales. A satisfied customer is a customer ready to return. In other words, the screen is an effective way of building lasting customer loyalty. With each visit, the customer is immersed in the atmosphere of the restaurant, and in the friendliness conveyed by the restaurant's communication.

 

The menu board for high-impact communication

The menu board is a real customer communication tool. Digital screens capture customers' attention when they're located outside your store, but also throughout the ordering process indoors. If they're visible during closing hours, they can even encourage passers-by to pay you a visit as soon as you reopen. This gives restaurateurs greater visibility and makes it easier to showcase their products and services.
