Who keeps your digital menu up to date?
A daily special has sold out, but it is still on the screen. A clear process helps your team report the change, update the menu and check the display.
Reporting a change does not update the screen
The kitchen knows a dish has sold out, and staff can tell guests. It will still appear on the digital menu unless someone edits it. Decide who is responsible before you start using the screen.
Three tasks, one simple process
The kitchen reports which dish is affected and how long the change applies. The person responsible edits the correct menu. Someone then checks the result on the actual screen. In a small restaurant, one person can handle more than one task.
Example: a daily special has sold out
- Kitchen reports the change
The penne with vegetables is no longer available today.
- Update the menu
Remove the dish from today’s lunch menu.
- Check the screen
Check that the updated menu appears on the restaurant screen.
Specify which menu needs changing
“The pasta has sold out” is not specific enough. Try: “The penne with vegetables has sold out for today’s lunch service. Please remove it from today’s lunch menu.” This identifies the dish, menu and period affected.
Scheduling and editing are different tasks
SUISSE-VIDEO can switch between prepared lunch and dinner menus. You still update dishes and prices yourself in “Text content”. A dish does not disappear from the menu automatically when it sells out.
Check again before the next service
A dish that has sold out today may be available again tomorrow. Record temporary changes and check whether they still apply before that menu next appears. Do the same for prices and temporary replacement dishes.
