Case study · Cafés

Screens for cafés that sell the next coffee.

Put your drinks menu, today's bakes and seasonal offers on the TV behind the counter, and change a price from your phone between orders.

52 ready-made designs for cafés, free with every screen.

Café screen design: Specials board. Chalkboard-style list of today's specials. Food & drink screen design: Menu board. Two columns of items and prices. Café screen design: Coffee menu. Drinks with Regular and Large price columns.

Three of the designs for cafés, as they'd look on a wall screen.

The challenge

What cafés are up against.

Chalkboards look lovely until the prices change, the specials run out, or the pumpkin latte needs to disappear on the first of December. A café needs a menu that is quick to update and still feels warm.

What the screens need to do

  • A clear drinks menu with prices people can read from the queue
  • Today's cakes, bakes and lunch specials, changed in seconds
  • Offers that switch on and off by time of day

Where the screens go

Three screens, three jobs.

Each screen gets its own playlist, so the message fits the spot it's in. Add more whenever you like.

Behind the counter

The full drinks menu, with milk alternatives and sizes.

By the till

Today's bakes and a loyalty or meal deal offer.

In the window

A bold seasonal drink to bring people in from the street.

A day on the screens

Schedules do the changing, not you.

An example week for cafés. Each row is a playlist and when it plays; the screens switch on their own.
