Update every menu, across every location, in seconds.

Cloud-managed menu boards with dayparting, instant price and special updates, allergen info, and POS-connected feeds — so your staff updates the menu once and it goes live everywhere.

viewneo is a cloud-based digital signage platform built for food-service operations — restaurants, QSR and fast-food chains, cafes, bakeries, and food courts. It connects menu boards, counter displays, and drive-thru screens to one dashboard, so a price change, a new special, or an allergen update reaches every screen in every location in seconds, not hours.

The challenge in restaurant operations

Restaurant menus are not static. Prices change with ingredient costs, daily specials rotate, breakfast transitions to lunch, and promotional pricing shifts by day of week. For a single-site operator, keeping printed or manually managed boards in sync is already a drain on staff time. For a multi-branch group or franchise network, it becomes an operations problem: inconsistent pricing, outdated allergen information, and marketing content that takes days to deploy across locations.

At the same time, menu boards are one of the most powerful sales tools at the counter. Research consistently shows that dynamic, well-designed digital menus lift average transaction value by surfacing high-margin items, daily specials, and upsell prompts at exactly the right moment.

How does viewneo solve it?

viewneo gives restaurant operators the CMS and scheduling tools to manage every screen from one place, whether that is a single counter display or a 200-screen franchise network.

viewneo Enterprise is the control layer. Build your menu board templates once, schedule them by daypart — breakfast, lunch, evening — and push updates to every location simultaneously. A new price or a sold-out item can be corrected across the entire chain in under a minute, with no IT involvement and no on-site visit.

For operators running a POS or dedicated menu management system, the viewneo Open Interface API creates a live data feed between your back-office system and your screens. When you change a price in your POS, the menu board updates automatically. This removes the duplication of maintaining a separate content system and eliminates version mismatches between your till and your menu wall.

Dayparting: the right menu at the right time

A digital menu board that shows the same content all day is a missed opportunity. viewneo’s scheduling system lets you define content slots by time of day on a repeating schedule: breakfast from opening, lunch from 11:00, a mid-afternoon snack promotion, dinner from 17:00, and a late-night value menu from 21:00. Each slot runs the relevant playlist — pricing, photography, featured items — and switches silently without any staff action.

Layer promotional overrides on top: a Tuesday happy hour, a limited weekend brunch special, a seasonal limited-time offer. Overrides apply to one location or all of them, and they expire automatically so you never have a Christmas promotion running in February.

Multi-branch chain management with local overrides

Running a franchise or multi-site group means balancing brand consistency with local operational reality. viewneo Enterprise handles this through a hierarchical account structure: the head office controls brand templates, approved fonts, and mandatory compliance content; each branch or franchise operator manages their local pricing and specials within those bounds.

Local overrides work at the content level, not the account level — so a franchisee in one city can run a regional promotion without affecting another branch, while the brand-standard menu structure stays intact. This also simplifies rollouts: launch a new product across every location by updating the master template once.

For larger operations, the Enterprise tier and the pricing page cover multi-seat account options and API-based content management.

What viewneo does for restaurants

From a single cafe to a 200-location chain.

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner content switches automatically by time of day — no one needs to touch the screen.

  • Push a price change or a new daily special to every screen across all your locations in seconds, not days.

  • Allergen and nutrition display

    Show legally required allergen and nutrition information alongside your menu items, always current.

  • Connect your point-of-sale or menu management system via the viewneo API so menu boards update automatically when prices change.

  • Keep customers informed and engaged at the counter, in the queue, and at the drive-thru — with content timed to the ordering flow.

  • Manage every location from one account, with local overrides for regional pricing, promotions, and language via viewneo Enterprise.

Digital menu boards that update themselves

Connect viewneo to your POS or menu management system via the Open Interface API and your menu boards update automatically when prices change — no manual intervention, no version mismatches between locations.

Dayparting: the right menu, every time of day

Schedule breakfast, lunch, afternoon, and dinner menus to switch automatically. Add happy-hour pricing or late-night specials on a recurring weekly schedule, and override any slot for a one-off promotion without disrupting the rest.

Counter and drive-thru displays

Run promotional content, queue entertainment, and order-confirmation screens alongside your menu boards — all from the same CMS. Hardware from the viewneo range mounts in any configuration, from single portrait screens to widescreen menu walls.

Frequently asked questions

Can viewneo run menu boards across multiple restaurant locations?
Yes. viewneo Enterprise manages every screen from one dashboard. Push a price change or new special to one location, a group of branches, or the entire chain at once.
Can menu boards switch automatically between breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
Yes. Dayparting lets you schedule content by time of day on a recurring basis. Breakfast content switches to lunch at 11, dinner at 5 — with no staff intervention required.
Can viewneo connect to our POS or menu management system?
Yes. The viewneo Open Interface API lets you feed live price and item data directly from your POS or inventory system, so menu boards update automatically when you change a price at the source.
How do we display allergen and nutrition information?
Allergen and nutrition details can be included in your menu board templates and updated centrally. If your POS or menu system holds this data, the API feed can push it to screens automatically.
Do we need to replace our existing screens?
No. viewneo runs on plug-and-play media players like the viewneo Butler, so you keep your current screens and add cloud management on top. If you need new hardware, the hardware overview covers every form factor.
How does chain management work for franchises with local pricing?
With viewneo Enterprise, each branch gets its own sub-account with local override capability. The franchisor pushes brand-standard templates; each location can adjust prices and specials within defined limits.
Is viewneo GDPR-compliant for restaurant use?
viewneo is operated from the EU and complies with GDPR and the German TDDDG. No personal data is collected from menu board displays. viewneo signs DPAs on request. See our Privacy policy.
