Benefits of using a digital menu board with an interactive template

Using online menus and digital menu boards with interactive templates has several benefits.

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Increased sales 

Restaurants have reported increase in sales ranging from 2% to 23% after adopting customizable digital menu boards with interactive templates due to improved visual appeal, upselling opportunities, and the flexibility to update content in real-time.

Wand Digital discovered that it has led to an average 2% increase in sales per location, while other industry insights reported gains between 3% and 5%.

Take McDonald’s for example. After rolling out digital menu boards with captivating interface design in drive-thrus across the United States, it has been reported that the average ticket sizes are higher. 

Enhanced customer engagement

Digital Signage Today reported that 64% of businesses using digital menu signage (given the visual appeal of their menu template) saw increased customer engagement.

This boost stems from the dynamic, visually compelling content due to its interactive design, captures attention and influences customer behavior more effectively than static displays. 

Panera Bread’s implementation of branded digital menu signage in its drive-thrus and dine-in areas led to increased engagement with loyalty programs.

It was noted that Panera saw an increased uptake of personalized offers when promoted via in-store screens. 

Cost saving 

Businesses can eliminate recurring printing costs, reduce waste, and update cafe menu ideas in real-time without reprinting hundreds of paper menus or static boards. 

According to industry reports, 88.5% of them have recouped their investment in digital menus within two years.

This rapid return is fueled by reduced operational expenses, quicker updates, and the ability to promote high-margin items.
