## What is burger joint digital signage?

Burger joint digital signage is a TV screen behind a burger counter that plays the menu, prices and combo offers instead of a printed board. One screen carries patties, sides, shakes, limited deals and opening hours, and the wording is edited from a phone or laptop, so a price change never needs a reprint.

A burger shop or diner counter runs this board: burgers, shakes, a stamped combo deal and opening hours.

## Frequently asked questions

### What do I need to put a digital menu board in a burger shop?

Any TV with a modern browser will run one, and the cheapest route is a screen you already own plus a streaming stick. Mount it landscape at 16:9, because a board built for that shape and shown on a portrait screen letterboxes and wastes half the panel. Put the bottom of the screen above head height so a queue three deep can still read it, and run the picture over HDMI rather than a USB stick you have to walk over and swap. Match screen size to the queue: a counter people read from roughly 3 metres back is fine on a 43 inch panel, while a drive-through lane or a long queue wants 55 inches or more. This template opens in ChannelOS, so you edit the prices in a browser and the screen updates itself.

### How big should the text be on a burger menu board?

Use the sign trade rule of thumb: about 25mm of capital letter height for every 3 metres of viewing distance. If the furthest person in your queue stands 6 metres away, your smallest readable capitals are about 50mm. On a 55 inch 16:9 TV the panel is roughly 685mm tall, so 50mm is about 7 percent of the screen height. Set item names at or above that and prices larger, since the price is what people scan for. Anything smaller, a calorie line or an allergen note, is read up close at the counter and can sit at half that height. Test it by standing where the last person in the queue stands and reading the board out loud.

### How many items should a burger menu board show at once?

Cap it at what someone can read while they shuffle forward. A queue looks at a board in bursts of a few seconds, so a single panel holding twenty items gets skipped entirely. Six to eight items on screen at once is a workable ceiling for a burger counter: the core burgers, two or three sides, and drinks. Everything else goes on its own slide and rotates. Give combos a slide to themselves, because a deal competing with a full price list loses. Order the list by what you want to sell rather than alphabetically, and put the highest margin item in the top left, where the eye lands first on a landscape board.

### Do I have to show calories on a burger menu board?

Only if you are part of a chain. The FDA menu labelling rule covers restaurants and similar retail food establishments that are part of a chain of 20 or more locations doing business under the same name and offering substantially the same menu items, and those businesses must post calories on the menu board next to the item name or price, plus a short statement putting the figures in the context of a 2,000 calorie daily diet. A single independent burger shop is not covered by that federal rule, though state and city rules can still apply, so check your local health department. If you post calories voluntarily, keep them accurate and update them whenever you change a recipe or a portion size.
