| The job | A separate signage workflow | MenuHoster |
|---|---|---|
| Retyping prices | A separate signage layout may need its own edits. | Uses the prices in your menu. |
| How you pay | Signage vendors commonly charge per screen. | Board allowances are part of your MenuHoster plan. |
| Sold-out dishes | Depends on a menu integration or a manual update. | Connected boards follow your menu’s sold-out status. |
| Breakfast → lunch | A separate playlist or schedule to maintain. | Follows menu availability on Pro and Max. |
| QR to order | Add a code and maintain its destination. | Points guests to ordering on your menu, when enabled. |
| Your published menu | Can be separate from your signage content. | The menu you already publish is the source. |
Signage vendors and their integrations vary. Compare the workflow you need; this table describes how MenuHoster uses your source menu.
Questions about TV boards? Start here.
What is a digital menu board?
A digital menu board is a restaurant menu displayed on a TV or another screen. Digital menu board software controls the layout and content. MenuHoster builds the board from your menu, so the dishes, prices, photos and logo come from the same source.
Do I need special hardware?
You need a display with a compatible browser, or a stick or small PC connected to it. A Samsung or LG smart TV with a browser can open the board directly. Check the guide for your device before buying anything.
Which TVs work?
Samsung, LG and Hisense/VIDAA models with a compatible browser can open the board URL. Fire TV uses Silk; Android TV and Google TV need a browser app from their store. Roku and Apple TV have no built-in web browser for this route, so mirror a phone or laptop, or connect a stick or small PC. Browser support varies by model and software version.
Can it start by itself when the TV turns on?
Plan to open the browser when you turn on a consumer TV or Fire TV Stick; automatic startup is not supported for this setup. The browser can remember your board if its saved data is retained. For unattended startup, use a small PC with Chrome in kiosk mode and configure the operating system to launch it at sign-in or boot.
What happens when the Wi-Fi drops?
After the board and its media have loaded and been saved, it keeps playing from that saved copy when Wi-Fi drops. Changes made while it is offline appear when the connection returns. A new device, cleared browser storage or media that has not finished saving still needs a connection.
How do I keep the TV from sleeping?
Turn off the TV’s sleep timer and automatic power-off options, and review its eco or energy-saving settings. If you use a stick or PC, check that device’s sleep settings too. A web page cannot override the TV’s own power controls; setting names vary by model and year.
Can I show photos and my logo?
Yes. Boards use the photos and logo from your menu, with scenes for featured dishes, grids and promotions. Use images that stay sharp on a TV. A photo-free menu can use a clear text Panel, like the sample shown above.
How do prices and breakfast or lunch menus stay current?
Edit the source menu and connected boards pick up its prices and sold-out status. Automatic availability and timed prices run on Pro and Max, in your business timezone. On Free you can save a schedule, but it stays inactive. Marking an item sold out by hand works on every plan.
Can I use a board in portrait or in a window?
Yes. Choose portrait for a vertical display or landscape for a wider screen. The layout adapts to the orientation. Window visibility also depends on the display’s brightness and position.
What does a board cost after 30 days?
Free includes 1 TV menu board, clean for 30 days from first playback. After the trial, a MenuHoster band appears. It keeps playing. The board keeps syncing. Pro includes 3 boards without the band; Max includes 5 boards. Paid prices depend on country, billing period, current offer and eligibility. Check both the introductory period and the renewal price before you upgrade.
