Digital Menu Boards: Worth It for Sydney Takeaways?
By Ragu Karthigesan · 19 May 2026
Walk down any Sydney eat street and you can pick the thriving takeaways by their screens. Digital menu boards have gone from luxury to standard — and for good reason: they're one of the few shop fit-outs that directly lift average order value.
What they actually earn
Menu boards sell in three ways: they showcase photos of your best-margin items (food photography sells food — printed menus rarely do it justice), they rotate specials and combos without reprinting anything, and they let you change prices in seconds when costs move — no more selling at last year's prices because reprinting is a hassle.
Venues typically see measurable lifts in combo and add-on sales within the first month simply because the screen keeps suggesting them.
What a setup costs
A single-screen setup using a quality consumer TV starts in the hundreds, not thousands. Multi-screen commercial setups scale from there. The software side — your menu designed to your brand, updatable from your phone — is where we do the heavy lifting.
The TotalBiz difference
We design the board to your brand, mount and configure the screens, and hand you a dashboard where a price change takes ten seconds. If you'd rather WhatsApp us the change, we'll do it for you. Ask to see live examples running in venues near you.
