Q: How much do digital signage and drive-thru systems cost?

Pricing depends on your setup, mainly how many screens you need, whether they are indoor or outdoor rated, the software and integrations you add, and how many locations you are outfitting. Rather than a one size fits all price, you can estimate your own in a couple of minutes with our drive-thru price estimator or indoor menu board price estimator, or talk to our team and we will scope a quote for your locations.

Key Takeaways:

Digital Products: Some of our digital products include outdoor drive-thru digital menu boards (Drive-Thru Flex, Drive-Thru Eco, and digital presell boards), indoor digital menu boards, self ordering kiosks, and direct view LED displays.
Who does the work: The Howard Company can design, produce, support. and manages the install.
What it connects to: we are technology agnostic. Order confirmation systems, voice AI ordering, and content management software come from in house or a range of trusted partners and sync with major POS systems, no platform lock in.

Direct View LED is unlike any of the other digital displays that we offer. DVLED displays do not use traditional LCD screens; instead, they use a surface array of LEDs. This delivers superior contrast, color accuracy, and brightness compared to LCD screens.

Another feature is the bezel-less design to create a more seamless screen experience. DVLED is also highly customizable and can be made into any size, including extra-large displays for your interior or exterior.

Order Confirmation Systems

Show guests their order in real time on the menu board to build trust, speed up the lane, and cut costly remakes.

Voice AI Ordering

Let a voice AI agent take orders in the lane, running around the clock with consistent accuracy while your staff focus on food and service. It understands full menus, upsells in context to grow check sizes, and hands off to a person the moment it is unsure.

Because one system does not fit all, we partner with leading voice AI providers, including SoundHound, Vox AI, Hi Auto, and Presto, and match you to the right one.

What is digital signage?

Digital signage is any screen that shows menus, pricing, promotions, or information you update electronically, from drive-thru menu boards to indoor displays and video walls. Unlike printed signage, you change the content in seconds with no reprinting.

What digital display options does The Howard Company offer?

We build outdoor drive-thru menu boards (DT Flex and DT Eco), indoor digital displays and video walls, self-ordering kiosks, and direct view LED, plus order confirmation, voice AI, and content management integrations that connect to your point of sale.

Will these work with my existing POS?

Usually yes. Our WebOCS works with major systems like PAR Brink, NCR Aloha, and Qu Beyond, and we integrate with partners like Square, so we match the setup to the point of sale you already run.

Can I update the content myself?

Yes. Our content management software lets you update menus, pricing, and promotions across every screen from anywhere, with no reprinting and no developer help.

Do your outdoor screens hold up to weather and sunlight?

Yes. Our drive-thru displays use outdoor rated screens built for weather, direct sun, and constant use, and they run without air conditioning.

How much do digital signage and drive-thru systems cost?

Pricing depends on your setup, and will be custom to what you need. So, rather than giving you a vast price range, we made it so you can estimate your custom price in a couple of minutes with our drive-thru price estimator or indoor menu board price estimator, or talk to our team and we will scope a quote for your locations.
