Wall screens on a TV you own
Fire TV built in or a Fire TV Stick. Moving pictures and your real photos.
Electronic menu
Electronic menu: a phone, a table tablet, or a wall screen?
People use “electronic menu” for three different things. Here is what each one is, and which fits your shop.
Three kinds of electronic menu
1. A menu on the customer's phone
The customer scans a QR code and the menu opens in their browser. It is easy to start, and nothing hangs on your wall. The catch is that every customer must take out a phone and wait for it to load. If the line is long, nobody scans. It also does not help the person who walks in and looks up for an answer.
2. A tablet on the table
A tablet sits at each table and the guest orders on it. This suits a sit-down restaurant with servers and tables. It is more equipment to buy, charge and clean, and it does not help a counter shop at all. We do not make this product.
3. A screen on the wall
A TV above or beside the register shows your menu to the whole line at once. Customers decide while they wait, and you change the screen when something changes. This is a digital menu board, and it is the one we make.
Which fits a counter shop, which fits a restaurant
A counter shop, such as ice cream, coffee, a bakery or a food truck window, is a wall-screen business. The customer stands in a line, looks up, and decides. One screen serves every person in line at once. Our shop is exactly this kind, and a wall screen is what we run.
A sit-down restaurant often uses more than one kind. A wall screen can show specials in the entrance or at the bar. A tablet or phone menu handles table ordering. You do not have to pick one. A phone QR code can even sit on the wall screen, as it does on our holiday board: a short QR panel next to a photo and a price line.

Questions owners ask
Is an electronic menu the same as a digital menu board?
Not always. “Electronic menu” can mean a menu on a customer's phone or a tablet, or a screen on the wall. A digital menu board is the screen on the wall.
Does Wow Menu Boards do QR code or table-tablet menus?
No. We make wall screens. Phone and tablet menus are different products, and we do not claim them. A touch screen is something we plan for later.
Can I use a QR code on my board?
Yes. A QR code is just a picture on your board. Our own holiday board has one that opens an order page.
What do I need for a wall screen?
A TV with an HDMI port, plus Fire TV built in or a Fire TV Stick.
