Every menu screen current, from one breakfast board to several locations.
CanvasRelay runs the publishing; Studio Sussex handles the layouts, players, screens, installation, and support. Your team changes a price once and the right boards receive it.
A Delaware café may need breakfast, lunch, and weekend boards in the same week. A quick-service counter may change availability during a rush, while a full-service restaurant needs specials visible without turning a dining-room screen into a spreadsheet. Daypart schedules and linked menu records let each board show the right content without asking staff to carry a remote between shifts.
Statewide restaurant groups also need local control without rebuilding every screen separately. A Dover location can keep its own hours while Rehoboth Beach changes for the season and a Newark counter runs a campus offer. CanvasRelay publishes shared releases or location-specific variations from the same system, with a visible release history instead of mystery files on USB drives.
The hardware is bought for the room and owned by the business. Screen brightness, mounting, player placement, network access, cable paths, heat, grease, and long daily runtimes are reviewed before the quote. The software remains useful because the physical install was treated as part of the menu system, not a television shipment after the fact.
A Delaware menu-board project from layout to support.
One written quote covers the physical boards and the publishing path behind them.
Menu layouts for the room
Boards designed around viewing distance, line position, categories, prices, modifiers, and the amount of time a customer has before ordering.
CanvasRelay publishing
A free-position editor, linked menu data, draft and published releases, schedules, and player output for one screen or a managed group.
Daypart schedules
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour, and late-night boards switch on the schedule the business approves, with a manual override for real service conditions.
Multi-location control
Shared brand layouts can publish across the group while local prices, hours, and availability remain specific to the Delaware location that owns them.
Hardware and installation
Screens, players, mounts, cable management, network checks, and final testing handled on site. The client owns the purchased hardware outright.
Monitoring and content help
Players report their state, staff receive a practical walkthrough, and ongoing content or support can be included without handing the restaurant to a remote call center.
From the menu file to a working board.
Menu and site review
I review the real menu, dayparts, locations, sightlines, power, network, and current screens before deciding the board count or player setup.
Layout and data setup
Approved designs are built in CanvasRelay, with repeated menu fields structured so a price or item can change without redrawing every board.
Install and publish
Owned hardware is mounted and configured, players are paired, schedules are checked, and the first release is verified on every screen in the room.
Train and support
The team learns the updates it wants to own, monitoring starts, and content help remains available for seasonal menus, new locations, and larger layout changes.
The quote separates owned hardware and installation from ongoing software, monitoring, and content help. Screen count, mounting, existing gear, number of locations, menu structure, and support needs determine the scope. Pricing is written for the project rather than inferred from a package tier.
Delaware menu-board questions.
Can breakfast switch to lunch automatically?
Yes. CanvasRelay schedules releases by day and time, so approved breakfast, lunch, dinner, or happy-hour boards can change without staff touching the screen. A manager can still override the schedule when service changes.
Can several Delaware locations share the same menu design?
Yes. Shared scenes and releases keep the brand consistent, while location-specific records can hold different prices, hours, or availability. The publishing plan decides which content is shared and which stays local.
Do we own the screens and players?
Yes. Hardware purchased through the project belongs to the client, with receipts and warranties handed over. Existing compatible screens can be reused after the site review, which changes the written quote.
What if an item sells out during the rush?
An authorized staff member can update the linked menu record or publish the approved alternate state, and the affected boards receive it. The exact mid-service control is agreed during setup so speed does not remove accountability.
