Use case

Restaurants and menu boards

Restaurants need menu boards that are readable from the counter and easy to update without reworking the whole screen system.

Quick answer

Use Screen Keep when your restaurant menu already exists as a webpage or can be published as one stable URL.

Why Screen Keep fits

Screen Keep can show the menu URL, refresh it, and schedule daypart pages while keeping the one-time on-device option available.

Use case

Best-fit screen jobs for this page.

Screen Keep works best when the display has a clear job, a reliable content source, and simple ownership after launch.

Counter menus, breakfast/lunch/dinner menus, specials, QR ordering pages, and promo screens.

Restaurants that need quick price or item changes.

Owners who want a simple no-subscription path for one or a few screens.

Screen plan

Make the display useful in the room, not just technically online.

Start with the content people actually need to see, then remove the failure points that make public screens look unfinished.

What to show

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour, or late-night menu URLs with clear daypart ownership.

Limited-time offers, sold-out notices, QR ordering pages, and pickup instructions.

Kitchen, counter, or waiting-area screens that need different menus from the same source content.

Failure points to avoid

Tiny mobile menu pages that look fine on phones but are unreadable above the counter.

USB slideshow loops that require staff to rebuild files after every price or item change.

Menus that show browser chrome, popups, cookie banners, or stale prices during service.

Launch plan

A practical rollout path for the first screen.

Step 1

Publish a screen-ready menu URL

Use large type, high contrast, simple sections, and pricing that can be read from the order line.

Step 2

Set refresh and daypart behavior

Refresh the menu when the source changes and schedule separate URLs for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or closed-hour screens.

Step 3

Test from the customer side

Stand where customers stand, check readability, scan any QR codes, and keep a fallback page for outages or sold-out periods.

FAQ

Questions buyers usually ask.

Can I use my existing website menu?

Yes, if the menu page is readable on a TV and does not rely on tiny mobile layout details or popups.

Can breakfast and dinner menus use different pages?

Yes. Use separate URLs and schedule them by time of day.

Do I need a subscription for one menu screen?

Not necessarily. Screen Keep has a one-time on-device option when local management is enough.

Build the first screen, then tune from there.
