A board that looks like the food.

A bright commercial screen that shows your menu and makes the food look worth ordering. Prices sync from your till, so the board is never wrong. It swaps breakfast for lunch on a schedule, and it is built to stay on every hour you trade.

The problem

The menu on the wall is always a little wrong.

A printed board goes stale the day a price moves, and the reprint waits for the next delivery. A consumer TV bolted above the counter has its own troubles. It looks bright in the shop and washes out next to the window, it dims itself to save power at the worst moment, and it makes a fresh sandwich look fried.

Meanwhile the queue is deciding in about eight seconds whether to trade up. A dull board decides for them.

That is really two problems stacked on top of each other. Your content drifts out of step with the till, and the screen showing it was never built to run twelve hours a day. A counter needs a panel rated to stay on all day, colour set so a burger reads as appetising instead of orange, and content that follows the till so the number on the board is the number they pay.

Design targets

The numbers we build to.

700 cd/m2 Panel brightness, readable indoors

sRGB Calibrated so food looks right

The system

One board, three jobs.

The panel that survives the day

A commercial screen built for all-day-on, not an evening film.

A commercial LCD at 700 cd/m2, glare-treated, so the board reads under shop lighting and next to a window instead of dimming itself when the room gets bright. A consumer TV is rated for a few hours of evening viewing, and it protects itself with auto-dimming and heavy power saving. This panel is rated for sixteen hours a day, mounts in portrait or landscape, and uses pixel-shift with real thermal design so a static menu never ghosts into the glass over the months. The same panel runs across the range, from one counter screen to a full wall of them.

Content that changes on schedule

The right menu at the right hour, with nobody on a chair holding a remote.

A built-in player runs your layout from a CMS, so breakfast rolls to lunch to evening on a schedule and nobody has to touch the screen. The board splits into zones. A menu list, a price column, a promo strip and a video window each update on their own. Photos and video sit on a panel set to sRGB, so a salad reads green and a bun reads golden instead of the over-cooked colour a TV adds by default. You author the content once and push it to one screen or every screen you run.

Imagery in production

A price that matches the till

The number on the board is the number they pay.

The board reads item names, prices and availability straight from your point-of-sale, so a promo ends the moment the till says it ends. When the kitchen runs out of something, the board can grey it or drop it on its own, so nobody orders what sold out an hour ago. Sync runs over a documented REST feed for tills that support it, or a scheduled CSV or spreadsheet import for the ones that do not. It works with the system you already run. The till stays the single source of truth. The board just follows it.

Closer look

Food that looks like food.

A screen set to sRGB shows a salad as green and a bun as golden. A consumer TV pushes the colour until everything looks over-cooked. This board is calibrated at the factory, so what draws the eye is the food and not the screen.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Will it survive being on all day?

Yes. The panel is rated for sixteen hours a day, and pixel-shift with proper cooling keeps a static menu from ghosting into the glass over time.

Does the price on the board match the till?

It reads prices straight from your point-of-sale, so the number a customer sees is the number they pay. When a promo ends at the till, it ends on the board.

My till has no fancy API. Does that matter?

No. Sync runs over a REST feed where a till supports it, or a scheduled CSV or spreadsheet import where it does not. It fits the system you already have.

What happens when the kitchen runs out of something?

The board can grey the item or drop it on its own, so nobody orders what sold out an hour ago.

Can I run more than one screen?

Yes. The same panel runs from a single counter screen to a full menu wall. The 55-inch 4K panels are colour-matched to each other with a thin bezel for a near-continuous board.

Technologies & *tools*

How it shows, subsystem by subsystem.

Nothing on this board is a black box. The panel, the player and the CMS are ours, so what you put up is what you own: a documented POS feed, standard image and video formats, and a screen you can manage from one place without a per-screen contract behind it.

Imagery in production

Panel & colour

Bright, and honest about the food

A commercial LCD runs at 700 cd/m2 with a glare-treated surface, so the board holds up under shop lighting and against a window instead of dimming when the room brightens. An ambient-light sensor trims brightness at night rather than washing out by day. The panel is calibrated to sRGB at the factory, so food photography and video are shown at the colour they were shot, and a bun reads golden rather than the pushed, orange look a consumer TV applies. Pixel-shift and a proper thermal path keep a static menu from ghosting into the panel over a year of all-day use.

Imagery in production

Player & content

Zones and dayparts, on a schedule

The media player sits inside the panel, so there is no external box or extra cable to fail. The screen is split into independent zones, a menu list, a price column, a promo strip and a video window, and each updates on its own. Dayparting swaps the whole layout on a clock, breakfast to lunch to evening, with nobody touching the screen. Content is authored once in the CMS and pushed to one screen or the whole estate, and every playout is logged for proof of play.

POS sync & fleet

Tied to the till, managed from one place

Item names, prices and availability pull from your point-of-sale over a documented REST feed, or a scheduled CSV or spreadsheet import where the till has no live feed. A change at the till reaches the board in under a minute, and an out-of-stock item can grey out or drop itself. Every screen reports its health, temperature and last playout to one dashboard, so a dark or stuck board raises an alert instead of being spotted by a customer. Images are standard JPEG and PNG, video is H.264 and H.265.

Will it work with our till?

It reads from your POS over a documented REST feed where the till supports one, or a scheduled CSV or spreadsheet import where it does not, so the board follows the system you already run rather than replacing it.

Won't a static menu burn into the screen?

The panel is rated for all-day-on and uses pixel-shift and proper thermal design specifically against image retention, which is where a consumer TV, rated for a few hours of evening viewing, fails within months.

Do we need someone technical to change a price?

No. A price synced from the till changes on its own, and a manual edit is a field in the CMS, not a re-export of a video, so counter staff can do it from a browser.

Trained on your own menu.

Your team learns on the exact panels and CMS they will run, with your real menu and your till, not a demo loop. Most sites are authoring and scheduling their own dayparts by the end of the day and never need us to change a price.

Course materials

Printed and digital references your team keeps, including a layout template and a brand-colour guide.

Accessibility & compliance

We size type and contrast to EN 301 549 and ADA reading guidance for a menu board, and evidence the electrical install sign-off for your file.

Refresh sessions

A recurrent session on request when you rebrand, add a daypart or roll out to new sites.

What an operator must demonstrate.

Sign-off is to a written standard, not attendance.

Authoring

A daypart schedule

Building a layout with zones and scheduling breakfast, lunch and evening to swap on a clock without touching the screen.

Integration

A live POS feed

Connecting the board to the till, mapping items and prices, and proving an out-of-stock item drops itself.

Compliance

A readable, accessible board

Type size, contrast and reading height that meet EN 301 549 and ADA guidance and stay legible from the queue.

Which standards do you certify against?

For the content we work to EN 301 549 and ADA reading guidance for menu boards, contrast and type size; for the install we evidence the fixed-appliance electrical sign-off. There is no card exam, the output is a documented, signed-off board.

On our own screens?

Yes, all training is on the exact panels, CMS and till you will run, with your live menu, so what your team learns transfers straight to service.

Lifecycle *services*

Bought once, kept bright for years.

The screen is the start of the relationship, not the end of it. Advance replacement puts a working panel on the counter before the failed one is returned, its layout and POS link restored on sign-in. Spares and signed firmware are held ten years from the last shipment, every update tested against your fielded content. New sizes and features fit the CMS you already run, and the person who answers is one of our own engineers.

Imagery in production

Advance replacement

A working panel first

If a screen fails, the replacement dispatches before the faulty one is returned, and its layout, schedule and POS connection restore on sign-in, so a counter is not trading with a dark board while logistics catch up.

Imagery in production

Serviced on a schedule

Checked on the fleet dashboard

Every panel reports brightness, temperature and last playout to one dashboard, so a fading backlight or a stuck screen raises an alert and is serviced on a defined interval, not discovered by a customer at the counter.

Never dark for long.

Spares and signed firmware images are held for ten years from the last unit shipped, so an ageing estate stays serviceable and every update is tested against your fielded layout and POS feed before it reaches a live counter.

You own it outright.

There is no per-screen or per-seat licence and no forced subscription. You buy the configured panels, the built-in players and the CalyOS Signage CMS once, and they are yours, with signed firmware updates included through the support term. The white paper lays out total cost of ownership against your store count and trading hours, so procurement sees the whole figure, not a headline price with a monthly meter behind it.
