Digital Signage for Restaurants That Boosts Orders and Streamlines Operations

Pricing depends on screen count and hardware — SPARC's software is priced in AUD and scales from a single-location QSR site to a national franchise network, with no separate licence per screen. Get a custom quote based on your locations and screen count.

Head office controls pricing and brand-locked menu templates centrally, and each location manages its own local promotions inside those guardrails. Changes push to every screen across the network from one dashboard, so a national price change does not depend on 40 franchisees each editing a board correctly.

Yes. SPARC connects to your POS through the Integrations Hub, so price changes and sold-out items update on screen automatically instead of requiring a manual edit at every location.

For a single site, usually yes. If there is already a power point and the screen is at a height you can safely reach, you can mount it, plug in a media player and be running the same day. What genuinely needs a trade is new power or data cabling, anything above head height, or a screen going into a wall cavity. For a multi-site rollout our installation partners handle fit-out so every store looks identical.

Yes, indoors and out of direct sun. Add a media player and a store-bought smart TV runs menu board software perfectly well, and it is a sensible way to start. The limits show up over time: consumer panels are rated for fewer hours per day, are dimmer than commercial displays, usually cannot be mounted in portrait, and their warranty often excludes commercial use. For all-day trading or a bright shopfront, a commercial display is the better buy.

A digital menu board is digital signage doing one specific job — showing menu items, prices and what is available right now. Same software, same media players, same screens. What differs is the content and how often it changes: menu boards need fast price edits, sold-out flags, and dayparting that switches the board between breakfast, lunch and dinner on a schedule.

Yes, and it is one of the simplest setups there is. A single screen and a media player will run off the van's power, and you can change the menu from your phone before you open. Two things decide the hardware: how much daylight hits the serving window, and whether the screen is exposed to weather. Brightness matters more in a van than in a fixed shop, so a high-brightness or outdoor-rated screen is worth the extra.

Yes. Price changes are made in a browser and reach every screen in seconds — no technician, no service call, and no design skills needed. If you run a POS, SPARC can pull prices and sold-out items straight from it, so the board matches the till without anyone editing anything.

For a single site with a screen already on the wall, under a day: connect the player, load your menu, and the board is live. A multi-site or franchise rollout usually runs a few weeks, and almost all of that is hardware delivery and install scheduling rather than software — the platform itself is configured in hours.
