Clear answers regarding hardware requirements, internet dependencies, and setup times.
Do I need to purchase expensive commercial monitors to display my menu?
No. Our 4K and 1080p layouts run cleanly on standard consumer Smart TVs (such as Samsung, LG, TCL, or Hisense) as well as dedicated commercial displays. If your TV has a built-in browser or a connected Amazon Fire TV Stick / Chromecast, you are ready to launch without costly proprietary hardware.
What happens if our restaurant Wi-Fi goes down during a busy dinner shift?
Your screens will never turn blank. With our offline USB packages, screens require zero internet. With our cloud remote CMS packages, our HTML5 TV player automatically caches all media locally in the screen's memory, ensuring continuous playback even during internet outages.
Can I display different categories across multiple side-by-side screens?
Yes. With our Dual-Screen and Multi-TV Wall packages, each screen receives a dedicated layout. For instance, Screen 1 can display burgers and combo meals, Screen 2 can show sides and beverages, and Screen 3 can feature rotating promotional desserts.
Does DigitalMenuMaker stock or ship the physical TV screens?
No. DigitalMenuMaker specializes purely in digital graphic design, motion rendering, and cloud player software. Physical screens and mounts are procured from third-party retailers or through certified vendors in our Hardware Partner Program.
