## What is a vertical cake shop order board?

A cake shop order board is the screen that prices custom cakes by size and servings and states the notice period. On a TV it loops the shop's name, the size list with prices, the lead time as the offer slide, and the hours, so the questions the counter answers all day are answered on the wall.

A cake counter taking orders 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 cake counter taking orders?

Because the wall usually decides. A cake counter taking orders 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 custom cake board show?

Size, how many it serves, and the price, in that order, because that is the order a customer decides in. Serving counts matter more than inches to somebody buying for a party, and a board that only lists diameters makes them guess. Then the notice period, which is the second question every time, and it belongs on its own slide in big type rather than in small print.

### How do I price custom work on a public screen?

Publish the base price for each size and say clearly what it includes. Decoration, tiers and dietary versions are quoted at the counter, and the board should say so in one line rather than pretending a fixed price covers everything. A board that under promises and gets corrected at the counter costs more goodwill than one that says from and then explains.
