Question 1

What is restaurant digital signage?

Accepted Answer

Restaurant digital signage is a screen-based system, usually a TV or tablet at the counter, drive-thru or kitchen pass, that replaces printed menu boards and paper order tickets with content you change from a browser. On CloudyFy TV that includes menu boards, a kitchen display system and scheduling that swaps content automatically by time of day.

Question 2

Can a drive-thru order-confirmation board show the same items as the counter menu and stay in sync automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A drive-thru order-confirmation board and the counter menu are usually built from the same categorized item list, so a price or item change published once updates both together. There is no separate drive-thru content to maintain by hand, and a per-lane override still lets the drive-thru differ from the counter if a location needs it.

Question 3

Can one location use a different price for the same item than another?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A menu board layout supports per-branch overrides, so a single location can run a different price, or drop an item entirely, without copying the whole layout into a second version. Head office keeps the base menu and pushes updates everywhere, while the override only touches the branch that needs it.

Question 4

Does the kitchen display stay in sync when the front-of-house menu changes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The kitchen display draws from the same menu data as the counter and drive-thru boards, so an item rename or a new category shows up on kitchen tickets without a separate update. That single source removes the classic mismatch of a customer ordering an item name the kitchen screen does not recognize.

Question 5

Can dayparting run on a different schedule in each time zone for a multi-city chain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Scheduling includes per-row timezone control, so a location in a different timezone switches from breakfast to lunch on its own local clock rather than the account’s default timezone. A 12-location chain spanning two timezones runs one dayparting schedule per timezone group instead of manually offsetting each store by hand.

Question 6

Can a single kitchen run two different brand menus from one account, for a cloud kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A cloud kitchen operating two or three delivery-only brands from one location can hold a separate menu board layout per brand on the same account, and switch the kitchen display or the pickup screen between them without logging into a second product. Each brand keeps its own pricing and item list.

Question 7

How does AI copywriting help write a limited-time-offer headline fast?

Accepted Answer

Describe the offer and a tone, and AI copywriting returns a draft headline and a short promo line in seconds, when your workspace has AI credits enabled. A single-location cafe can turn a weekend special into screen-ready copy without waiting on a marketing brief, and a chain’s marketing team can draft the same offer for every region at once.

Question 8

Do a new location’s screens need an IT visit before going live?

Accepted Answer

No. A new screen pairs to the account with a short on-screen code, then joins whatever location group and layout you assign it to, all from the same browser dashboard used for every other store. A store manager or a regional operator can complete pairing without a technician on site.

Question 9

How is CloudyFy TV different from Yodeck for restaurants?

Accepted Answer

Both run menu boards and dayparting. The practical difference for a multi-location chain is a lower per-device rate with a clear device ceiling, $7 or ₹550 per device a month on Starter up to 25 devices. See the full comparison for the feature-by-feature breakdown, including where Yodeck is stronger.

Question 10

How much does it cost to run digital signage across a multi-location restaurant chain?

Accepted Answer

CloudyFy TV prices each device: Starter is $7 or ₹550 per device a month with a 25-device ceiling, Standard is $12 or ₹1,000 with a 50-device ceiling, and Pro is $20 or ₹1,500 with a 100-device ceiling. A 12-location chain running three screens per store, 36 devices, a counter board, a drive-thru board and a kitchen display, comes to $432 or ₹36,000 a month on Standard. Full device, storage and AI-credit detail sits on pricing. Indian prices are shown before GST, which is added at checkout.

Question 11

What happens to my menu boards if the internet goes down?

Accepted Answer

The menu board does not go blank mid-shift. CloudyFy TV’s players are offline-first, so a router reboot or a back-of-house Wi-Fi drop leaves the last published prices and items showing from local cache while the kitchen keeps taking orders. The screen catches up automatically once the connection returns, downloading only what changed.
