technology in the dining room. Behind the scenes there is a lot going on in
terms of music (Ipod), computing (Mac) and point of sale systems
(unfortunately not Apple). We're taking a leap and responding to our customer requests. We are adding
a digital menu board in the line. We hope you will agree the design we came
up with addresses both of our goals. We wanted to give people a good idea
of what we offer while at the same time not going so "high tech" that we
conflicted with the 1940's theme of the place. We hope to have the menu screen up in the next 6 weeks or so. Here's a
sneak peak of the monitor we came up with. Kinda hip, kinda retro, yet very
much the latest technology available. Of course, we'll power the video with
a Mac Mini! We'll have menu suggestions, specials, and some other surprises on the
monitor. If you have specific things you like to see when visiting
restaurants, or creative uses we haven't likely thought of, let me know!
Electronic Menu Board - Retro Style!
At Joe's Farm Grill we have made use of the video screen for our menu since
we opened 3 years ago. We think it looks great and customers often tell us
it helps them quickly decide what they'd like to eat. So much so, in fact,
that we're going to add more video screens so no matter where you are in the
line you can get a visual on the menu.
