Menu board
Columns of items and prices, usually three or four screens side by side. Dayparted between breakfast, lunch and evening.
Gallery
Layouts you start from,
not a blank canvas.
Composition arranges media and apps into zones, and a layout you have built can be saved as a template and duplicated. These are the shapes people build most.
Front of house
What customers stand in front of.
Promotion
One offer, full bleed, with a price. The simplest layout there is and the one that works hardest.
Wayfinding
A directory or a floor plan with a zone for the current level. Static content that earns its place by never being wrong.
Product catalogue
A grid of items cycling through a range too large to show at once.
Back of house
What staff read.
Team notice board
A notice zone, a rota, and usually a ticker. The screen that replaces a corkboard nobody looked at.
Safety notice
Days-since counters, current alerts and site rules. Built to be readable in a corridor at speed.
Dashboard
A web page in a zone, refreshed on the screen. Works for any dashboard that renders without a login.
Welcome screen
A visitor’s name and a logo, usually in reception. Small content, disproportionate effect.
How it is built
Zones, then a template.
-
Divide the screen into zones
A video area, a sidebar, a ticker along the bottom.
-
Drop media and apps in
Your own files from the library; weather, news or a web page from the App Store.
-
Save it as a template
The layout is reusable. The content in it is not fixed to it.
-
Duplicate it per site
Same shape, different menu. This is why chains use templates at all.
Questions
The things people actually ask.
Can I import a design from Canva or Photoshop?
You can upload the exported image or video to the media library and place it in a zone, which is what most people do. A live Canva connector is not something we can evidence.
Are there templates ready to use on day one?
The App Store carries a ready-made menu board, named by the console itself.
Can I edit text on a screen without rebuilding the layout?
Yes — Composition includes a text editor with fonts, weights, fills and themes, so wording changes do not mean rebuilding the composition.
