Digital signage and menu boards,
installed and updated from your phone.

What we install

Commercial displays on the wall or the ceiling, a BrightSign media player behind each one, wired Ethernet to a switch, and BrightSign's cloud content manager you update from your phone. Menu boards above the counter that switch by daypart. A waiting-room screen that runs the practice's own content instead of cable news. A lobby display with the day's meetings. A gym schedule. A dealership showroom. A cannabis retail menu by category and price. The same parts serve all of them; the templates and the schedule are what change.

Menu boards for restaurants, breweries and cafes

Two to four displays above the counter, in landscape or portrait to fit the wall, with the menu split across them the way a printed board was. Prices change from a phone before the doors open. Breakfast becomes lunch on a schedule. A sold-out item disappears with one tap. A brewery taproom runs the tap list on the same screens and swaps a keg without a chalk marker. Where the venue also wants TVs and zoned audio, the bar and restaurant AV page covers the rest, and the signage rides on the same rack.

Waiting rooms, lobbies, gyms and showrooms

A medical or dental waiting room shows the practice's own services, the check-in steps and the day's provider, with no sound and no news ticker. An office lobby shows the visitor the meeting list and the building's message. A gym rotates the class schedule and the month's promotion. A dealership showroom runs inventory and financing offers. These screens run quieter templates, longer dwell times and larger type, and they are placed where a seated person reads them without craning.

Cannabis retail menus

Product menus by category, price and stock, updated from the register area as the day moves. Screens face the customer side of the counter, on the same wired network as the store's cameras and recorder, on a segment of their own. The camera, recorder and alarm requirements for a licensed store are on the cannabis retail security page; the menu screens are the visible half of the same installation. Content stays within the LCB's advertising rules, which the licensee owns.

Commercial displays, not televisions

A signage display is built to run 16 to 18 hours a day, in portrait or landscape, with no smart-TV menu in the way. It carries a commercial warranty. A window-facing screen needs a high-brightness model or it washes out by noon. A consumer TV belongs on a screen that runs a few hours a day, and nowhere near a window. We specify the display for the wall it goes on, and we say which one and why on the proposal.

The network underneath

Every player gets a wired Ethernet run to a PoE switch, on a separate segment from the point of sale and the guest Wi-Fi. That is the difference between a menu board that runs for years and one that freezes when someone changes the Wi-Fi password. Where the building has no usable network, we install one, described on the business Wi-Fi page and the commercial infrastructure page.

Why BrightSign

BrightSign players are purpose-built for signage: solid-state, no operating system to update, no consumer app to fight, and they keep playing the last playlist if the internet drops. The content manager runs in BrightSign's cloud from any phone or laptop. It is the platform we install on every screen, from a single menu board to a multi-location group with one set of templates.

Keeping it current

The content manager is yours to run, and most owners run it from a phone in under a minute a day. Under a CURATOR plan, we make the monthly content changes, watch every player, and get the alert when a screen goes offline before a customer notices. The plans are on the CURATOR page.

What drives the cost

The screen count and size, commercial or high-brightness, the wall or ceiling and what is behind it, and the cable paths through a finished space. Whether the store has a network worth using is the last line. The proposal is itemized per screen, with the content manager and the first templates as their own lines. After-hours installation in an open restaurant is scheduled around service.
