Diners
Classic chalkboard — six rows a page, dotted leaders
A diner runs two menus a day and a third on Sunday. The switch is the whole job, and it is the part a printed board cannot do.
Nine trades, three looks
Find your own business on this page
Every board below is running live in your browser — the real renderer, the real layout engine, the real page turns. Not one of them is a screenshot.
Every business named here is invented for this page and marked Example board. We do not put a fake customer on a website.
Restaurants
Big and bold — four rows, price as a solid tag
Restaurants change a price and a print shop charges for it twice. Here you change it from your phone and the board is right in ten seconds.
Cafes
Modern panel — seven rows, no leader at all
A cafe board is read from four feet away by someone already in line. Row height and price alignment matter more here than anywhere else.
Pizzerias
Big and bold — four rows, price as a solid tag
The slice special is a time window, not a menu item. A board that cannot hold a window forces you to tape a sign over it.
Breweries
Classic chalkboard — six rows a page, dotted leaders
A tap list changes more often than any menu in this list. It is the vertical where typing it yourself, from behind the bar, on a phone, is the entire product.
Chiropractors
Modern panel — seven rows, no leader at all
A chiropractic board prices a treatment, not a plate, and it prices it "from" — because the number depends on the person. The board has to be able to say that.
Auto body shops
Modern panel — seven rows, no leader at all
Half an auto body board has no price on it at all, and that is correct. A board that forces a number into every row is a board that will make you a liar.
Salons
Big and bold — four rows, price as a solid tag
Salon prices move per stylist and per level. The board that gets this right is the one where changing a number takes ten seconds, not a print order.
Barbershops
Classic chalkboard — six rows a page, dotted leaders
A barbershop board is short and it is flat priced. It is the one board where the whole thing fits on a single page and the design has to earn the wall on looks alone.
Gyms
Modern panel — seven rows, no leader at all
A gym runs two different boards: a price list that barely changes, and a class schedule where the TIME is the content. Most signage products only know how to do the first one.
Three looks, one engine
Why the chiropractor board and the diner board are the same product
What changes between these is the stylesheet and the vocabulary, never the behaviour. Pagination, auto-sizing, day-and-time rules and the offline copy are one implementation, so they cannot drift apart.
Look 1
Classic chalkboard — six rows a page, dotted leaders
A chalk board in a wood frame. Reads as a diner or a taproom, and it is the densest of the three — six rows to a page.
Look 2
Big and bold — four rows, price as a solid tag
Warm paper, heavy display type, and the price set as a solid tag so the eye lands on the number. Four rows a page, for a screen you read from further away.
Look 3
Modern panel — seven rows, no leader at all
A flat panel with no leader line and seven rows a page. The one that does not read as food, which is why the health and trade boards use it.
Two ways to use a template
Start from one yourself, or hand us your menu and never open the editor
Path one
Do it for me
Send us a photo of your current menu — a printout, a PDF, a napkin. We build the board, set up the breakfast/lunch switch with you, drive over, hang the screens and turn it on. You get a working board and a phone number, not a login and a tutorial.
- We lay out every item and price for you
- We set the day and time rules so the board changes itself
- A player per screen, pre-flashed, in the box ready to go
- On-site install anywhere in Monroe County
- You still change anything you like, from your phone, any time

Pro, 2 screens. Both numbers, up front, before you ask.
Path two
I’ll do it myself
Pick a template, type your items in, and run it on a screen and a stick you already own. Same renderer, same offline behaviour, same time-of-day switching. You just do the hanging and the typing.
- Start from a template built for your kind of business
- Type your own items and prices, change them whenever
- Set your own day and time rules
- Runs on hardware you already have
- Email support if you get stuck
