Or maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your current restaurant operation and bring your menu board system up to a new service level! You may already be a bit overwhelmed with decisions to make: Do I paint or wallpaper the walls? Booths or tables… or both? Drive-thru lane or just a walk-up counter? So much to think about!
