## What is a vertical bakery menu board?

A bakery menu board is the screen over a counter listing what was baked and what it costs. On a TV it loops the bakery's name, the day's list with prices, one end of day offer and the hours, so a sold out loaf is marked rather than left advertised.

A bakery counter runs this on a TV stood on its end: the venue, the priced list, one offer and the hours.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why stand a TV on its end for a bakery counter?

Because the wall usually decides. A bakery counter 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.

### What should a bakery board show in the morning versus the afternoon?

The same board, with two things changed by whoever is on. In the morning the list is what came out of the oven, and the bake times matter more than the prices. By late afternoon the useful screen is what is left, and that is the moment an end of day basket earns its slide. This is the case for a screen rather than a printed board: the same wall says two different true things at two different hours.

### How do I mark something as sold out?

Strike the line and keep the price. Removing it is destructive and it invites the same question all afternoon, since a customer who cannot see the sourdough does not know whether you stopped baking it or sold it. A struck line with the words still on it answers before anyone asks and needs no retyping in the morning.
