Frequently Asked Questions?

What is a dynamic digital menu board?

A digital menu board that updates automatically using live POS and inventory data.

How do digital menu boards update automatically?

Through direct integration with POS systems such as Square, eliminating manual edits.

Can dynamic menu boards update inventory availability automatically?

Yes. Inventory-aware digital menu boards remove or adjust items automatically when inventory levels change in the POS system, reducing the risk of promoting unavailable products.

Are dynamic digital menu boards better than traditional printed menus?

Dynamic digital menu boards allow real-time updates, automated pricing changes, and centralized control across locations. Printed menus require physical reprints and cannot adapt to inventory or pricing changes instantly.

Can digital menu boards reduce food waste?

Yes. Inventory-aware menus prevent promoting items that are no longer available or keeping pour performing products in stock because of a static menu. Learn more here.

How do dynamic menu boards connect to a POS system?

Dynamic menu boards connect to a POS system through direct software integration. When pricing, inventory, or promotions change in the POS, those updates are automatically reflected on connected digital screens in real time.

Do digital menu boards require manual updates?

Static digital menu boards require manual updates. Dynamic digital menu boards do not. When integrated with a POS system, content updates automatically without spreadsheets or design edits.
