Restaurant digital signage: a practical guide
Restaurant digital signage means TVs above the counter, at the entrance or in the dining room that show your menu, prices, daily specials, food photos and hours. With WidgitBoard you build the board in a drag-and-drop editor, open its link on a Smart TV or Fire TV Stick, and change a price or sold-out item from any computer. It costs $19.99 a month for every screen in the restaurant.
How to set up digital signage in a restaurant
- 1
Start from the restaurant template
Pick the restaurant board and add your logo, colors and menu categories. It's already laid out for menu items, specials and photos.
- 2
Enter your menu and prices
Type in items, prices and short descriptions, then add your best dish photos. Keep each board readable from where guests stand to order.
- 3
Mount it above the counter
Open the display link in the TV's browser or on a Fire TV Stick, sign in once, and go full screen. No media player or installer needed.
- 4
Name each screen and schedule menus
Create named displays — Menu Board Left, Menu Board Right, Entrance, Bar — and assign each a board. Schedules can switch the menu screens from breakfast to lunch at 11 a.m. while the bar screen stays on drinks.
What to show on restaurant TVs
Menu by daypart
Separate breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night boards, switched automatically by a schedule so the right menu is always up.
Today's specials
A dedicated specials section the manager can change before service, including sold-out items and soup of the day.
Food photos and video
Rotating photos or a short video of signature dishes help first-time guests decide faster.
Happy hour countdown
A countdown to the start or end of happy hour puts drink and appetizer deals in front of guests at the right time.
QR codes for ordering
A QR code that opens your online ordering, reservations or catering page lets guests act without asking staff.
Hours and announcements
Holiday hours, private event closures, new menu launches and hiring notices in one place near the door.
What digital signage costs for a restaurant
A typical counter-service restaurant runs two menu screens above the order counter and one at the entrance or bar.
- On per-screen plans, 3 screens cost $288–$720 a year.
- WidgitBoard costs $190 a year for all 3 screens — and any you add later.

Restaurant digital signage FAQ
What should a restaurant show on its digital menu board?
Your core menu with clear prices, today's specials, a few strong food photos, and time-based deals like happy hour. Add hours and a QR code for online ordering on an entrance or secondary screen.
Can the menu change automatically for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
Yes. Build a board for each daypart and set a schedule that switches boards by day and time. Schedules can run on every screen or only the menu screens you choose.
How fast can I update prices or mark something sold out?
Edit the board from any computer or phone signed in to your account, and screens that are signed in show the change within seconds. There's nothing to reprint.
Do I need special hardware for a digital menu board?
No. WidgitBoard runs in a web browser, so any Smart TV browser, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Raspberry Pi, tablet or computer connected to a TV works. There's no proprietary player to buy.
How much do digital menu boards cost for a restaurant?
WidgitBoard is $19.99 a month or $190 a year for unlimited screens. Per-screen signage tools typically charge $8 to $20 per screen per month, so a three-screen restaurant pays $288 to $720 a year on those plans.
