- Why stand a TV on its end for a bowl and juice bar?
- Because the wall usually decides. A bowl and juice bar tends to sit against a pillar, a narrow strip beside a doorway or a window that is taller than it is wide, and a landscape panel there either overhangs or shrinks to fit. A portrait board reads as one column top to bottom, which suits a list. What it is not is a rotated landscape design: turning a wide layout on its side re-wraps every line, so the board is authored in the shape the screen is mounted in.
- How do I mount a screen in portrait safely?
- Three checks before drilling. The bracket has to allow rotation, which most VESA plates do but some fixed ones do not. The panel itself has to be rated for portrait: many consumer TVs are not, because heat rises differently through a rotated panel and the warranty often says so in a line people skip. And the cables have to leave the set without a tight bend at the new bottom edge. A commercial signage panel is usually rated for both orientations, which is one of the real things the premium buys.
- Bowls or juices first on the board?
- Whichever you want ordered, at the top, in the larger type. A board is a ranked list whether you intend it or not, since a queue reads from the top and stops. If bowls carry the margin, bowls lead and the juices sit under them; if the morning trade is juice, invert it. What does not work is treating both as equal, which reads as a catalogue.
- Should toppings be listed?
- Three, under the name, and only the ones that change the choice. A full topping list is what a card at the counter is for, and a board carrying it becomes a wall of small type that nobody reads at any distance. If a bowl is defined by its toppings, that is a short line; if the name says it, say nothing.
