Digital menu signages can simply engage customers to order more from the menu while queuing in line, a display of mouth-watering and tasty items alongside an infotainment video or a restaurant's promo video can help boost sales. Walk-in customers can simply browse the digital menu and gauge what's for dinner?

The placement of digital menu signage should be strategic enough, but not annoying to diners. It should be installed near the dining entrance or at a common area where patrons can easily access or view the digital signage.
