Think of it as a billboard that lives inside your dining room. Digital signage for restaurants turns the TVs above your counter, in your windows, and at the drive-thru into living menu boards — specials, prices, photos, social posts, and promos, all driven from your browser. Local Billboards works with screens you already own, starts at $7.95 a month, and comes with a 14-day trial that needs no card.
One dashboard handles your menus, the daily special, a social wall, wait times, and promos — and you change any of it straight from your phone.
From $7.95/mo • No credit card • 2 displays included
Living menu boards with food photos, prices, and add-ons that flip automatically between breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
See menu templates →Send today's feature to every screen in seconds. Set up Taco Tuesday, Friday fish fry, or weekend brunch once and let them run themselves.
Post current waits for tables or pickup right on screen. Fewer “how much longer?” questions at the host stand and calmer guests.
Stream your latest Instagram and Facebook posts and tagged guest photos onto the wall — real social proof with nothing to design.
Day-part offers that fire on their own. Happy hour from 4 to 7, a lunch combo from 11 to 2 — program it once and forget it.
Holiday schedules, early closes, “now hiring,” “dine-in only” — drop a quick notice and it lands on every screen at once.
Nobody running a kitchen has an afternoon to learn software. This was designed for the manager with half a minute between rushes — not for a graphic designer on staff.
A live menu billboard running on Local Billboards
Most owners go from sign-up to a glowing menu board in under twenty minutes.
Two weeks free, no card required. Open your account in about a minute.
Full menu, drive-thru, daily features, drinks, desserts — food-service layouts that look sharp before you touch them.
Key in dishes, descriptions, and prices, add a few food photos, and set the clock rules so breakfast, lunch, and dinner swap themselves.
Slot a streaming stick (Fire, Roku, or Android) into any TV, open the browser, log in, and choose your board. That's it — it's live.
Tweak it from your phone whenever. Changes land on every screen in about 30 seconds — even mid-rush price bumps.
A straight comparison of a digital menu billboard against the options most restaurants weigh.

Comparison reflects typical small restaurant operating costs as of Q2 2026.
It does. The food-service templates cover live prices, dish photos, side and drink add-ons, and menus that switch by time of day. Change a price from your phone in well under a minute. See menu templates →
Not really. A TV with a streaming stick (Fire, Roku, Android TV), a Smart TV with a browser, or a PC on HDMI all work fine. The cheapest route is a $40 Fire Stick in a set you already own.
Roughly half a minute. Edit the special on your phone or laptop, hit save, and it appears on every screen.
Absolutely. Sort your screens into zones — counter, dining room, drive-thru, kitchen — and feed each one its own content. Bronze runs 2 screens, Gold 20, Enterprise 100.
$7.95 a month on Bronze. That's both screens and the whole toolkit — menu boards, specials, social walls, scheduling, and support — with no per-screen charges or add-on upsells. See all plans →
Yes. A drive-thru board behaves exactly like an indoor one; for outdoor lanes we can point you to brighter, sun-readable commercial panels. Day-part rules roll breakfast into lunch into dinner with no one touching it.
A printed board runs $200–800 to design and another $40–150 every time prices move. A digital billboard is a flat $7.95 a month and updates on the spot. Change menus quarterly and digital usually pays for itself in 4–6 months, saving $1,500+ a year on reprints.
It stands on its own — no POS hook-up needed. Most kitchens just edit menus in the board editor. If you're high-volume, direct Square, Toast, and Clover feeds are offered on Enterprise.
Every screen keeps a local copy of what it's showing. Lose the connection mid-service and the boards keep playing the last version they saved; when the line comes back they re-sync on their own. No dark screens on a packed Saturday.
Yes. Keep every location under one login, push one menu to all of them in a click, or tune prices store by store. Gold handles up to 20 screens; Enterprise covers 100+ with multi-site admin controls.
Most managers are editing menus inside half an hour of signing up. There's nothing to design — the template lays it out, you supply dishes and prices. A 15-minute video, a written quick-start, and email/chat support come with it.
Two weeks free, no card, and it runs on the TVs already hanging in your dining room.
