How AI is used

DsMenu is a design and management platform for restaurant digital signage. It allows business owners to create visual menus using a library of templates and deploy them to browser-enabled TVs.

The tool is designed for restaurants, cafes, and quick-service establishments. It supports both single-location setups and multi-location chains, allowing management of multiple screens from one admin account.

Capabilities include POS integration for automatic content updates and the generation of QR codes. Users can also download designs for use via USB drives or print them as paper menus.

Buyers should confirm that pricing is structured per menu board, meaning each active screen requires its own subscription. Certain features, such as playlists, are available in the Pro plan.
