The digital menu that updates in seconds
Create a beautiful digital menu board for your restaurant and display it on any smart TV, tablet, or phone — no special hardware needed. 86 an item? One click and it's gone. No reprinting. No waiting.
Three steps to your digital menu
Getting started is simple. Here is how it works:
- Sign up — Name your restaurant and claim your public URL. Takes thirty seconds.
- Build your menu — Add items one by one or bulk import from CSV. Organize into categories.
- Display and share — Pull it up on a smart TV with split-screen or auto-scroll, print a QR code for tables, print a paper copy, or share the link anywhere.

A digital menu built for restaurants
Unlike generic signage tools, Live Digital Menus is built specifically for restaurants. Here is what makes it different:
- 86 it in one click — Out of the special? Toggle it off and every customer sees the change instantly. No reprints, no crossed-out lines, no awkward conversations.
- Display your digital menu on any smart TV — Open a browser URL on any smart TV — no special hardware needed. Choose split-screen, page-flip, auto-scroll, or static display modes to match your space.
- QR code and print — Generate a QR code in one click, or print a clean paper copy straight from your dashboard. Customers can scan, browse, or read — however they prefer.
- Daily specials — Mark any item as a special with a custom label — "Chef's Pick," "Happy Hour" — and assign it to specific days of the week. Specials rotate automatically.
- Organized by category — Starters, Entrees, On Tap, Seasonal — drag and drop to reorder. Rename categories with a click. Search and filter from your dashboard.
- Works on every screen — Your digital menu looks stunning on phone, tablet, TV, or desktop. Responsive design adapts automatically so customers always get a great experience.
- Full brand customization — Your colors, your fonts, your logo, your background image. Add photos to menu items. See every change in the live preview before it goes public.
- Multi-language menus — Translate your menu into 10 languages with one click. Guests pick their language on the public menu, and TV mode supports language params.
- Dietary and allergen tags — Tag items as GF, Vegan, Contains Nuts, Spicy, and more. Badges display on the public menu so guests can find what works for them.

Why switch to a digital menu?
Save money on printing
Every time you change a price or add a new dish, you reprint your entire menu. A digital menu eliminates printing costs completely. Update prices, add seasonal items, or remove sold-out dishes — all from your phone, in seconds.
Always accurate, always current
With a printed menu, customers order items that are no longer available. With a digital menu board, what they see is what you serve. Changes sync instantly to your TV display, QR code, and online menu.
Better guest experience
Guests can scan a QR code at the table and browse your digital menu on their phone — no waiting for a server to bring a menu. Dietary tags help them find dishes that work for them. Multi-language support welcomes international guests.
