COMPLETE DIGITAL SIGNAGE SOLUTIONS FOR RESTAURANTS

From indoor menu boards to drive-thru systems to franchise-wide content management, Coffman Media provides every digital signage solution a restaurant operator needs — designed and installed by certified specialists.

Indoor Digital Menu Boards

Replace static printed menus with vibrant, high-brightness commercial displays that let you update pricing, items, and promotions in real time. Indoor menu boards are the foundation of any modern restaurant's digital signage strategy.

  • Commercial-grade displays rated for 16–24 hour operation
  • High-brightness panels (500–1,000 nits) for bright restaurant environments
  • Portrait and landscape orientations
  • Single-screen and multi-panel configurations
  • Integrated media players with cloud CMS connectivity
Why It Matters

Indoor digital menu boards eliminate the cost and delay of reprinting menus every time prices or items change. For a restaurant updating menus quarterly, digital signage pays for itself within the first year.

Drive-Thru Digital Menu Boards

Drive-thru digital menu boards require specialized outdoor-rated hardware engineered for direct sunlight, rain, temperature extremes, and continuous 24/7 operation. Coffman Media specializes in complete drive-thru digital menu board installations — from single-lane QSR locations to multi-lane fast food operations.

  • High-brightness outdoor displays (2,500–5,000 nits)
  • IP65-rated weatherproof enclosures
  • Canopy and post mounting systems
  • Anti-glare and anti-reflective coatings
  • Integrated speaker and order confirmation screen options
  • Pre-sell and order confirmation board configurations
Why It Matters

Drive-thru accounts for 70%+ of revenue at most QSR locations. High-brightness outdoor digital menu boards with pre-sell content consistently increase average check size and reduce order errors.

POS & Data Integration

Connect your digital menu boards directly to your point-of-sale system for automatic menu and pricing updates. When a menu item sells out or a price changes in your POS, your digital menu boards update automatically — eliminating manual updates and pricing errors.

  • Integration with major POS platforms (Toast, Square, Aloha, Micros, Revel)
  • Real-time price and availability sync
  • Automatic 86 (sold-out item) handling
  • Nutritional and allergen information display
  • Calorie count compliance for chain restaurants
Why It Matters

Manual menu updates across multiple locations are time-consuming and error-prone. POS integration eliminates the risk of displaying incorrect prices or sold-out items, protecting both revenue and customer trust.

Daypart Scheduling & Automation

Automatically transition your menu boards between breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night menus at precisely scheduled times — with no staff intervention required. Daypart scheduling ensures the right menu is always displayed at the right time, across every location.

  • Unlimited daypart schedule configurations
  • Location-specific schedule overrides
  • Holiday and special event menu scheduling
  • Automatic limited-time offer (LTO) activation and expiration
  • Preview and approval workflows
Why It Matters

Daypart scheduling ensures your breakfast menu isn't displayed at 2pm and your late-night specials aren't shown at 8am. Automated transitions eliminate the need for staff to manually switch menus throughout the day.

Franchise & Multi-Location Management

Managing digital signage across dozens or hundreds of restaurant locations requires a platform built for scale. Coffman Media configures enterprise CMS solutions that give corporate teams centralized control while allowing franchisees to customize local content within brand guidelines.

  • Centralized content management for all locations
  • Role-based access for corporate vs. franchisee users
  • Brand-compliant template library
  • Location grouping by region, franchise group, or concept
  • Bulk content deployment across all locations simultaneously
  • Compliance monitoring and reporting
Why It Matters

Franchise operators need centralized control with local flexibility. Enterprise CMS platforms allow corporate teams to enforce brand standards while giving franchisees the ability to customize local promotions and pricing.

Promotional & Upsell Displays

Digital signage is one of the most effective tools for driving upsell and add-on purchases in restaurant environments. Strategically placed promotional displays at the point of decision — near the counter, at the drive-thru order point, and at the pickup window — consistently increase average check size.

  • Combo meal and bundle promotion displays
  • Limited-time offer (LTO) countdown timers
  • High-margin item featuring and spotlighting
  • Seasonal and event-based promotional content
  • Loyalty program and app promotion displays
Why It Matters

Research consistently shows that digital displays featuring high-margin items at the point of decision increase add-on purchase rates. Strategic placement of promotional content at the counter and drive-thru order point delivers measurable ROI.
