## What is a vertical noodle shop menu board?

A noodle shop menu board is the screen listing wok dishes and noodles with prices. Run as a TV loop it shows the shop's name, the dish list with prices, one lunch offer and the hours, and a dish that sells out is marked on the screen rather than crossed out on paper.

A wok and noodle 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 wok and noodle counter?

Because the wall usually decides. A wok and noodle 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.

### Should dish names be in English, Chinese or both?

Both, if your customers are both. Put the name people order in the larger type and the other script under it in smaller type, rather than giving them equal weight, because a board with two equal languages is read as neither. Check the font actually carries the characters instead of falling back, and give a line with Chinese characters more height than a Latin one so nothing clips.

### How do I show spice level without cluttering the board?

One mark, used consistently, in the accent colour, and defined once at the bottom of the list. Three chilli icons in three sizes is decoration; one chilli that means hot is information. The note under a dish name is the right place for it, and the same note is the right place for a vegetarian mark. If a board needs a legend longer than one line, it is carrying too much.
