Digital signage at restaurants has evolved from just mounting displays and showing cable tv. Digital menu boards now have purpose and help to contribute to the success of restaurants.
Along with an array of food and fresh bakery, the combination of Santo Gallo and Pastelerías Esperanza with the help of P&J Congress Design and its alliance P&P Sistemas y Marketing deployed AOPEN nTAKE Digital Menu Board solutions in several restaurants across Mexico.
