Menu Board App
Use Screenly to display dynamic menu boards with up to 12 items on your digital signs.
A menu board for restaurants, cafés, food courts, and kiosks, edited from the Screenly dashboard rather than a design tool.
Menu Board App
Enter up to 12 dishes with a name, description, price, and labels such as vegetarian or spicy, and the app sets them out as a printed-style menu over a dimmed background photo. The layout fits itself to the screen: a short menu gets generous spacing, and a full one is set more tightly so every item still fits, in landscape or portrait.
Choose from 3 styles
Set the typeface with Menu Style. Traditional is a classic serif, like a printed restaurant menu. Modern is a bold sans-serif. Minimal is light and airy.
Your prices, photo, and logo
Set the Currency Symbol for your prices, such as $, €, £, or ¥. In the advanced settings you can add your own background photo and logo, and change the Accent Color used for the title, prices, and labels. The app ships with a sample pizza menu, so you can see it working before you add your own.
