Indoor Menu Board Price Calculator

There are three main types of indoor menu boards:

• Digital Menu Boards: use commercial grade screens to display your menu content. They are ideal for businesses that update pricing or items frequently, run daily specials, or want to use eye-catching visuals and animations to drive sales. With optional content management software, you can update your menu remotely from any device in real time.

• Illuminated Menu Boards: use backlit panels to make your menu bright, clear, and easy to read in any lighting condition. They offer a polished, professional look at a lower cost than digital and are a great fit for businesses that want a high-visibility display without the need for frequent content changes.

• Non-Illuminated Menu Boards: are the benchmark solution for businesses that want a clean, flexible, and cost-effective display. They use magnetic menu graphics, so updating your menu is as simple as swapping out number chips or replacing a single section without reprinting the entire board. You can go with a full direct print for a polished finished look, or use individual cut-out sections for areas that change often, like a daily soup or specials section. Non-illuminated boards are also the easiest to customize for sizing, making them a great fit when you have a unique wall space or need something that fits just right.

Non-illuminated menu boards are available in standard sizes including 16x24, 13x36, 24x24, 25x30, 32x30, 32x36, and 48x36 inches. The right size depends on your number of menu items, available wall space, and viewing distance. Larger formats like 48x36 work well for full menus with many items, while smaller sizes like 16x24 suit limited menus or specials boards.

 Yes. While our price calculator covers the most popular standard sizes, we also offer fully custom menu board sizes and designs to fit unique spaces or brand requirements. Custom projects are quoted individually. If you don't see your size in the calculator, contact us directly for a custom quote.

Digital menu board screens are available in 43", 49", 55", and 65" sizes. Larger screens work best for high-traffic environments or locations where customers view the menu from a distance, such as a QSR or grocery store. Smaller screens are well-suited for food trucks, c-stores, or compact counter setups.

Wall-mounted boards are the most common installation and work well when there is clear wall space behind or beside the ordering area.

Ceiling-mounted installations are a good option when wall space is limited or when you want the display positioned directly over a counter. 

Content management software allows you to update your digital menu board remotely: changing prices, updating LTOs, removing sold out items, adding items, or scheduling promotions . It is highly recommended for businesses that run specials, update seasonal items, or operate multiple locations. Our calculator includes a CMS option so you can see how it affects your total price.

 Installation timelines vary on location, equipment, and price range. Some businesses can have a menu board installed within one month, while larger or more complex projects may take one to six months depending on customization, manufacturing, and scheduling. Our calculator asks about your timeline to help match you with the right solution for your urgency.

Indoor menu boards are used across a wide range of food and retail businesses including quick service restaurants (QSR), fast casual restaurants, convenience stores (c-stores), food trucks, dispensaries, grocery stores, and other retail environments. Each business type has different display needs, which is why our calculator customizes to your selected needs.

That depends on what you already have. If you're starting from scratch, a full design service will create your menu layout and artwork. If you have existing brand assets, a designer can reformat them to fit your new board dimensions. If you have an in-house design team with production ready art, you can skip this step entirely. Our calculator lets you choose the option that fits your situation so design costs are included in your estimate.
