For restaurants & food service

Restaurant digital signage that sells while you cook.

A static menu board is a missed sale. Digital menu boards, daily specials, and daypart scheduling that you update from your phone — while you are on the floor, between rushes, wherever you are.

From $7.95/mo • No credit card • 2 displays included

Promotions & Happy Hour

Time-based campaigns that auto-trigger. Happy hour 4–7? Lunch combo 11–2? Schedule once, runs forever.

Hours & Closures

Holiday hours, special closures, “we’re hiring,” “dine-in only.” Quick announcements that update everywhere instantly.

Why restaurants pick us

Built for the busiest people in the building.

Restaurant operators don’t have time to learn complex software. The dashboard is built for the manager who has 30 seconds between rushes — not for an in-house designer.

  • Update from anywhere. Phone, tablet, laptop — if it has a browser, it works.
  • No design skills. Templates handle the layout. You fill in items and prices.
  • Honest pricing. $7.95/month covers 2 screens. No per-screen fees, no “contact for pricing.”
  • Use TVs you own. Add a $40 streaming stick to any TV. Done.
  • 23 years of practice. Founded in 2003. We’ve been doing this longer than most of our competitors have existed.

Restaurant FAQ

Common questions from restaurant owners

Can Display Technology run my restaurant menu board?

Yes. Restaurant-specific templates handle live pricing, item photos, side & drink modifiers, and time-of-day menu switching. Update prices from your phone in under a minute. See menu templates →

Do I need special hardware?

No. Any TV with a streaming stick (Amazon Fire, Roku, Android TV), Smart TV with built-in browser, or computer with HDMI works. A $40 Fire Stick on a TV you already own is the cheapest path.

How fast can I update specials?

Updates push to all displays in under 30 seconds. Edit a special on your phone or laptop, click save, every screen updates.

Can I run different content on different screens?

Yes. Group displays by zone — order area, dining room, drive-thru, kitchen — and assign different content to each. Bronze plan supports 2 screens, Gold supports 20, Enterprise supports 100.

What does it cost for a small restaurant with 2 TVs?

$7.95/month on the Bronze plan. Covers 2 displays and includes everything — menu boards, specials, social walls, scheduling, support. No per-screen fees, no upsells. See all plans →

Does this work for drive-thru menu boards?

Yes. Drive-thru menu boards work the same as in-store, with an option for higher-brightness sun-readable commercial displays for outdoor placement. Time-of-day switching automatically shows breakfast, lunch, and dinner without manual changes.

How does digital signage compare to printed menu boards?

A printed menu board costs $200-800 per design plus $40-150 per reprint when prices change. Digital signage costs $7.95/month flat and updates instantly. A restaurant that changes menus quarterly typically breaks even on digital within 4-6 months and saves $1,500+/year on reprints.

Can I integrate with my POS (Square, Toast, Clover)?

Display Technology runs independently of your POS — no integration is required. Most restaurants update menus directly in the signage editor. Direct POS data integrations (Square, Toast, Clover) are available on Enterprise plans for high-volume operators.

What happens if the internet drops during a rush?

Each display caches its current content locally. If internet drops mid-service, your menu board, specials, and drive-thru displays keep playing the last-cached version. When connectivity returns, displays sync automatically. No blank screens during a Saturday-night rush.

Can I sync menus across multiple locations?

Yes. Group displays across locations under one account. Push the same menu to every restaurant at once, or customize per-location pricing. Gold plan supports up to 20 displays, Enterprise supports 100+ with multi-location admin controls.

How much training does staff need?

Most restaurant managers are updating menus within 30 minutes of signing up. No design skills required — templates handle layout, you fill in items and prices. 15-minute video walkthrough, written quick-start guide, and email/chat support included.
