Stanbol Media Digital Signage Content Manager (CMS) can power any number of indoor screens, video walls, and drive through digital menu boards so that you can reach and influence customers inside and outside your restaurant.

The Digital Menu Board Challenge

Quick-service restaurant owners and operators have an ever-evolving list of needs and requirements for their Digital Menu Boards. Today, this list typically includes the need for:

Easy-to-use Digital Signage Software
Reliable performance (no blank screens or error messages)
The ability to dynamically display pricing, images, and videos
Custom menu board template designs
Built-in advertising campaign management tools
Simple and centralized management of content and devices
Built-in monitoring and troubleshooting tools

Stanbol Media Digital Signage Content Management System (CMS) can handle all of the above and also do much more than display dynamic menu content. Restaurant staff can create, store and serve their own product data feeds using our software’s built-in Content Manager and Data Feed Manager. They can also modify content selections and product information right from their mobile phone.

Using our digital signage solutions, restaurant owners and operators can build and maintain their own product and pricing database without leaving the software. Users can also easily import custom data feeds from all popular POS and inventory management systems via our built-in Data Feed Manager.

Menus can be displayed in a table format using Stanbol’s Data Grid feature or shown in individual fields you can place anywhere on screen. It’s never been this easy to create digital menu board templates for your store.

The Stanbol Media Digital Menu Board Software Solution

We offer a range of solutions for every indoor and outdoor digital menu board challenge. You create dynamic content using Stanbol Media’s own Template Designer with your own product images, animations, price lists and caloric values. You can also insert videos in your layouts to create attention-grabbing digital menus that sell.

Restaurant chains who operate their own POS systems can retrieve real-time product and pricing so their digital menu screens are always kept up to date. By connecting Stanbol Media to your POS database you can automate content shown on screen without any staff interaction. Automatically remove out-of-stock items or promote overstock items based on actual inventory levels.

Programming your menuboards is easy using dayparting. Create time slots for each period of the day and then assign playlists with your own menus. Easily transition between breakfast, lunch and dinner items based on the time of day. All of this can be done from the comfort of your favorite web browser!

Security is our top priority. Only authorized users can modify digital menu board content or change the information published on your screens.

You decide who has access, which information they can see, and what they can publish.

What are the key benefits of using digital menu boards?

After the initial investment in equipment and software, using digital menu boards will provide long last cost savings against traditional printed menu boards.
Content, including product pricing, product images, and advertisements can be centrally managed, changed, and deployed to any number of stores simultaneously.
Content changes are easy to make and deploy across hundreds of locations.
Digital Signage Software will allow you to integrate with your existing pricing and menu item management systems for automatic updates across all locations.
Digital displays are brighter and more engaging than printed signs.

Can I use regular TVs for my digital menu boards?

We strongly advise against using consumer TVs that you can buy at your local electronics stores. Instead, buy professional-grade displays that will stand the test of time. Here’s why:

Unlike consumer TVs, professional displays are designed for 24/7/365 use.
Unlike consumer TVs, professional displays are designed to withstand difficult environments like very warm kitchens and the grease and fumes that kitchens produce.
Professional displays will typically come with on-site support, maintenance service options, and extended warranties.
