# Menus that change with the clock

> Breakfast at seven, lunch at noon, brunch on the weekend. Plan your digital menu boards once, and every screen in every branch switches over on its own.

## A day at the counter

The same screens do a different job every few hours. You set it up once.

### Breakfast board at 7:00

The morning menu is on screen before the first customer walks in. Nobody has to switch it on or change a slide.

### Lunch from 11:30

Bowls, wraps and the soup of the day take over at the time you choose, and the breakfast prices disappear with them.

### An item sells out

Take it off the board from your phone. The change shows on every screen within seconds, so nobody orders what you no longer have.

### Weekend brunch

A brunch menu that only runs on Saturday and Sunday mornings, then hands the screen back to the regular menu.

### A seasonal special

Put an autumn drink on a single date range, give it priority, and it ends on the day you set without anyone remembering to remove it.

### The window and the queue

A portrait poster in the window, an offer by the till. Each screen plays its own playlist from the same account.

## Changing a price, then and now

| Printed boards and USB sticks | With Jonza |
| --- | --- |
| New prices mean reprinting every board | Edit the price once and every branch picks it up in seconds |
| Someone in each branch has to swap the file by hand | Breakfast, lunch and brunch switch over on a weekly calendar |
| Breakfast prices stay up well into lunch | Take a sold-out item off from your phone |
| Sold-out items stay on the board until the next print | See which screens are online and what they're playing |

## Every corner of the café

From the door to the kitchen, each screen has its own job.

### The entrance

A welcome as people come in: the Wi-Fi name, today's opening hours and the QR menu.

_Welcome messages, Wi-Fi, QR menu_

### The window

A portrait poster facing the street that draws in people walking past.

_Daily specials, New drinks, Seasonal campaigns_

### Above the counter

The main menu board: landscape screens side by side, one category on each.

_Menus, Prices, Meal deals_

### The queue

While people wait, they see what they could add to their order.

_Desserts, Add-ons, Loyalty offers_

### The seating area

Something to look at over coffee: your story, your suppliers, what's coming up.

_Brand story, Events, Social media_

### The kitchen

Notes for the team: the day's prep, hygiene reminders, the shift plan.

_Staff notices, Recipes, Rotas_

## Plan breakfast, lunch and brunch on one calendar

Make one playlist for each part of the day and place them on a weekly calendar. Weekdays get one plan, weekends another, and a one-day campaign can sit on top without touching the rest.

- Repeat on weekdays, weekends or a single date
- When plans overlap, the higher priority wins
- See what's playing now and what comes next

## Build the board the way you want it

Lay out your menu photos, prices and a scrolling line of offers on a layered timeline. Use landscape boards above the counter and portrait screens by the door, and preview exactly how each one will look.

- Text, image, clock and ticker widgets
- Your online menu or any web page, live on screen
- One playlist reused inside every branch's board

## Planning screens for your café or restaurant?

Tell us how many branches and screens you have. We'll come back with a plan built around your menu.

## From a blank screen to a working menu board

1. **Turn the screen on**: Use a Tochi screen we send you with Jonza ready, or one you already have; our team can set it up remotely.
2. **Pair it with a code**: The screen shows a six-digit code. Type it into the dashboard and name it, say "Menu board – left".
3. **Add your menus and a plan**: Upload your photos, build a breakfast and a lunch playlist, and put them on the weekly calendar.

## Questions cafés and restaurants ask

### Can the menu change by itself at a set time?

Yes. Put your breakfast, lunch and evening playlists on the weekly calendar and each screen switches at the times you choose, every day, without anyone touching it.

### We have several branches. Can each one show different prices?

Yes. Tag screens by branch and give each group its own playlist, or share one menu everywhere and change it in one place. Either way, it's one account.

### Can we use the TVs we already have?

Often, yes. The Jonza player runs on Linux, Windows, Android, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, LG webOS, Raspberry Pi and Samsung Tizen, and our team can connect to existing screens remotely and set them up. We can also ship Tochi screens, our own brand made in Türkiye, with Jonza already set up.

### Can our staff update the board from a phone?

Yes. Jonza runs in the browser on a laptop, tablet or phone, and changes reach the screens within seconds. There's nothing to install.

### How much does it cost?

It depends on how many screens and locations you run. Write to us with your setup and we'll put together a plan.

### Can the screen show our online menu or website?

Yes. The web page widget shows any page live on screen, so your online menu can sit beside your own photos and prices.

### What is a digital menu board?

A digital menu board is a screen that shows your menu in place of a printed board. Because it's managed online, prices, photos and the menu for each part of the day change from one place, and every branch shows the update within seconds.
