Restaurants and QSR

Menus that change
themselves.

Breakfast until eleven, lunch until four, and the item that ran out at half past one taken off every board in the chain. Menu artwork lives in the Media Library, Composition arranges the board, and Publish decides which branches see it and when.

Plans, prices and trials are set by your ScreenQube partner.

Where it ends up

You work in a browser.
They see the wall.

The screen above is what you publish. This is where it ends up — a display a customer stands in front of, driven by a player that fetched it on its own.

What goes on the screens

Six things worth putting up.

Every one of these is ordinary media, arranged in Composition and sent out by Publish. Nothing here needs a separate system.

The menu itself

Prices, items and photography, arranged in Composition and published to the boards over the counter.

Dayparts

Breakfast, lunch and evening boards on a schedule, so nobody swaps a panel at 11:00.

Combos and add-ons

The screen nearest the till is the one that sells the side and the second drink.

Sold out, right now

Take one item off the board and publish. Every branch you selected has it within its next fetch.

Food in motion

Short silent loops of the dish being made — the strongest thing a board can show.

Order and pay codes

A code on the board takes the queue to your own ordering page.

Where the screens go

Four walls that earn it.

  1. Over the counter

    The three or four boards that carry the whole menu.

  2. Drive-thru

    Bright, short and legible from a car — usually the shortest menu you run.

  3. Window and pavement

    The offer that decides whether someone walks in.

  4. Kitchen and back of house

    Notices, rotas and food-safety reminders on the same platform.

How it is run

Four steps, then it runs itself.

The same four steps whether you have four screens or four hundred. This is the real console, not an illustration.

  1. Add facilities, pair screens

    One facility per site, branch or building. A screen joins by showing a registration code, which you type in once. Switch between facilities from the header.

  2. Upload and compose

    Media goes into the library, in folders, with tags. Composition arranges it into zones — your own files, plus App Store apps like weather, news or a ticker.

  3. Publish three ways

    On a schedule, with day sequences. Or QuickPlay, which the console describes as displaying content instantly for a flash sale or an emergency. Or as the default composition a screen falls back to.

  4. Check it, without going there

    Live Monitoring reports each screen's state. Take Screenshot shows what one is really displaying. Reload, clear the cache or reboot it remotely.

What it fixes

The three complaints we actually hear.

Printing new boards costs more than the price change is worth.
The board is a composition, not a print job. Change it and publish.
One branch is still showing last month's price.
Publish targets the facilities you choose, and Live Monitoring shows which screens are active and which are disconnected.
The evening menu goes up late whenever the shift is short-handed.
Publish carries the schedule. The player changes the board whether anyone remembers or not.

Questions

What restaurants and qsr teams ask first.

Can the board change by time of day?

Yes. Publish sends a composition to the screens you choose on the schedule you set.

Can I run different menus in different branches?

Each branch is a facility with its own screens. Publish to one, to several or to all.

Does it connect to our till or POS?

No integration with a point-of-sale system has been confirmed in the console. Menu content is published from the Media Library and Composition.

What runs the boards themselves?

An Android player app installed on the displays you own.

Put it on every screen.
