Digital Signage Drives Dynamic Restaurant Communication
As more people eat out for lunch and dinner, restaurants with diverse functions and clientele are using digital signage to improve customer communications, upgrade menu displays, and create a livelier atmosphere for their patrons. Digital displays present a unique opportunity for restaurant owners to easily and effectively enhance their image, promote higher-end offerings, and entertain customers while they wait to be served.
- Digital signage is ideal for displaying menus, daily specials, and nutrient/calorie information (increasingly required by law)
- Post wine lists and other drink offerings
- Earn revenue from advertising partners by displaying more ads in a smaller space and more appealing format
- Save money by eliminating printing and design costs
- Manage and update content easily – control multiple screens from one central unit
Digital Signage in Restaurants & Bars is becoming a norm for:
- Digital Menu Boards
- Vendor / Partner Advertising
- Displaying Nutrient & Calorie information
- Branding & Customer Entertainment
Save Money and Earn More
Between profits from enhanced ad revenue and savings from decreased paper use, digital signage systems show swift and strong ROI.
Reduce:
- The cost of price and menu changes
- The cost of expensive printing and shipping
- Artwork and graphic design expenses
Expand:
- Awareness of upcoming deals or events
- Opportunities to partner with other local businesses
- Opportunities for more effective branding
Broad Applicability
Regardless of venue, digital signage can find a useful application in almost any bar or restaurant setting.
- Sports Bars: Scores, the latest odds, beers on tap, and other standard drink prices
- Entertainment Venues (comedy/jazz clubs, etc.): Information about upcoming events, performer information
- Lunch/Short Order Restaurants: Image-enhanced menus, entertainment and advertisements for waiting customers
- Fancier Restaurants: Digital Signage can still play an effective complimentary role in front desk and bathroom areas – share information about chefs and display positive restaurant reviews
Digital signage helps restaurant establishments of all types display more information more economically, by using less space, less money, and creating more of a “buzz.”
Digital Signage: The Perfect Addition to any Sports Bar
When used in a sports bar, Digital Signage can be especially powerful. Large LCDs that are displaying a highly anticipated sporting event will garner many eyeballs. A video feed via the Mvix Digital Signage System in a zoned-window, leaves the rest of the screen’s “real estate” available for high-profile, messaging and advertising. Logos can be displayed in a corner, sponsorships can be run in a crawl line, and an animated Advertisement of your wine selection can run on the side. Often times a supplier to the dining/sports bar facility will divert coop-advertising dollars to dynamic video showcasing than print advertising.
Reviews
In the past, many restaurants devoted entire walls to framed reviews from local and national news publications. With more and more reviews appearing online and not in print, however, restaurants often lack a platform to display all of the positive coverage they may be getting.
- In addition, with the rise of yelp.com and other social networking review websites catering to the sought-after urban young professional demographic, restaurants stuck in a print world risk missing out on a chance to highlight the full extent of the positive coverage they may be receiving
- Average consumers are playing more and more of a role in driving the decision-making of their peers, and digital signage can help restaurants maximize their marketing profile
