Digital Menus: Beyond the Restaurant

Digital Menus in Cafes, Bakeries, Specialty Food Shops and MoreThis blog has been largely dedicated to how restaurants can integrate a simple and user-friendly digital menu board solution – like the DigiMenu-Pro by SmartAVI – into their business. From fast casual spots to upscale establishments, from charbroiled burgers to fresh-caught sushi, a digital menu helps tell the story of what a restaurant offers with attractive, eye-catching and appetizing imagery that completely blows away a traditional menu.

We also want to let you know that digital menus are fantastic for all kinds of other places, as well. Cafés, bakeries, specialty food shops, ice cream parlors and juice bars are all fantastic venues for digital menus.

If you run a café, for example, a digital menu can display all of your unique coffee and tea drinks in a very appetizing way.  If you manage a small bakery where you might run out of a top-selling specialty croissant, perhaps, you can inform your customers that you’re supply is running low or that you’ve already sold out. Giving your customers extra information helps them craft their order, which saves time and reduces lines. Plus, you can show them pictures of what you offer, which really helps drive sales.

In a specialty food store – like an artisan cheese shop or an Asian market – digital menus can help inform customers of the unique products you provide, in addition to your current specials. When you offer such unique and specialized products, you can really improve your store’s efficiency by giving curious or confused customers ideas and help with your customizable digital menu.

Or, let’s say you have a take-out section in your restaurant. You can program your digital menu board to show the names of the orders and how long it’ll be before they’re ready to take home. Again, giving your customers more info – especially up-to-the-minute updates – makes your customers happier.

In case you missed it, we’ve also examined how a digital menu could improve messaging and sales for the ever-growing food truck market.
