Digital menu boards have largely replaced printed boards at major QSR chains — they update instantly, display photos and nutritional information, and can show different content at different times of day without any staff intervention. Beyond menus, QSR teams use digital screens for drive-through order displays, promotional content near the register, customer-facing wait time indicators, and staff communication screens in back-of-house areas. The same platform manages all of these without requiring separate systems for each use case.</p><h3>How Fast Food Teams Use Screens for Menu Management</h3><p>Menu management is the core digital signage use case for fast food. Before digital menu boards, updating prices or items required reprinting physical boards — a process that often took days and left franchise locations running outdated pricing while waiting for materials to arrive. With digital signage, a price change made at corporate level goes live across every location within seconds. Daypart scheduling means breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night menus switch automatically at predetermined times without any manager involvement. Seasonal limited-time offers can be scheduled weeks in advance and expire automatically on the correct date — no one needs to log in to remove a promotion that's over.</p><h3>How Fast Food Chains Manage Screens Across Hundreds of Locations</h3><p>At scale, the main digital signage challenge for QSR chains is balancing corporate brand control with franchise-level flexibility. Kitcast handles this through role-based access: corporate marketing controls brand assets, approved templates, and chain-wide campaigns that push to all locations simultaneously. Regional managers or franchise operators manage their own location-specific specials and announcements within those guardrails. When a new limited-time offer launches nationally, corporate pushes it to every screen in every location at once — franchisees don't need to do anything. When a local promotion runs only in certain markets, regional managers deploy it to their screens without affecting other locations.</p><h3>How Digital Signage Replaces Printed Menu Boards in Fast Food</h3><p>The operational case for replacing printed menus with digital signage is straightforward for most fast food operators. Printed boards have recurring costs — reprinting every time a price changes, every seasonal promotion, and every menu refresh adds up to significant expense at scale. Digital boards have a one-time hardware cost and low ongoing software cost, and every subsequent menu change is free. Beyond cost, printed boards create a consistency problem: franchise locations may be running last month's pricing while corporate has already changed it. Digital menu boards enforce consistency automatically — every location shows the same approved content within minutes of any change.</p><h3>What Features Matter Most for Fast Food Digital Signage</h3><p>For most QSR buyers evaluating digital signage platforms, daypart scheduling is the top requirement — the ability to switch menus automatically at predetermined times without manual intervention at each location. Multi-location management is the second priority, particularly for franchises that need both corporate oversight and franchisee autonomy. Offline playback matters significantly in fast food because a menu board going dark during peak service hours is unacceptable — content needs to keep playing even when the internet connection drops. Hardware flexibility is also important: most fast food operators want to use existing TVs rather than purchase proprietary media players, making platforms that support standard streaming devices like Apple TV and Fire TV preferable to systems that require their own hardware.</p></div></div></div></div></section> <section><div class="page-padding"><div class="container-xlarge"><div class="padding-vertical padding-xxlarge"><div class="padding-bottom padding-large"><div class="text-align-center"><div class="max-width-large align-center"><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><h2 class="heading-large">Why Fast Food Teams Choose Kitcast</h2></div></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:12px;justify-content:center;margin-top:20px;"><span style="display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:8px;padding:12px 20px;border-radius:10px;background:#f0fdf4;border:1px solid #bbf7d0;font-size:.95rem;color:#166534;font-weight:600;">✓ Native Apple TV app since 2015</span><span style="display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:8px;padding:12px 20px;border-radius:10px;background:#f0fdf4;border:1px solid #bbf7d0;font-size:.95rem;color:#166534;font-weight:600;">✓ Works on existing TVs</span><span style="display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:8px;padding:12px 20px;border-radius:10px;background:#f0fdf4;border:1px solid #bbf7d0;font-size:.95rem;color:#166534;font-weight:600;">✓ Daypart menu switching</span><span style="display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:8px;padding:12px 20px;border-radius:10px;background:#f0fdf4;border:1px solid #bbf7d0;font-size:.95rem;color:#166534;font-weight:600;">✓ Multi-location franchise control</span><span style="display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:8px;padding:12px 20px;border-radius:10px;background:#f0fdf4;border:1px solid #bbf7d0;font-size:.95rem;color:#166534;font-weight:600;">✓ Minimal IT involvement required</span><span style="display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:8px;padding:12px 20px;border-radius:10px;background:#f0fdf4;border:1px solid #bbf7d0;font-size:.95rem;color:#166534;font-weight:600;">✓ Offline playback</span></div><div style="margin-top:24px;text-align:center;display:flex;gap:24px;justify-content:center;flex-wrap:wrap;"><a href="/yodeck-alternative" style="color:#2563eb;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;">Compare Kitcast vs Yodeck →</a><a href="/screencloud-alternative" style="color:#2563eb;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;">Compare Kitcast vs ScreenCloud →</a><a href="/optisigns-alternative" style="color:#2563eb;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:600;">Compare Kitcast vs OptiSigns →</a></div></div></div></div></section> <section style="background:#f8f9fb;"><div class="page-padding"><div class="container-xlarge"><div class="padding-vertical padding-xxlarge"><div class="padding-bottom padding-large"><div class="text-align-center"><div class="max-width-large align-center"><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><h2 class="heading-large">Fast Food &amp; QSR Pricing</h2></div></div></div></div><div style="overflow-x:auto;"><table style="width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:0.95rem;"><thead><tr style="background:#1e293b;color:#fff;"><th style="padding:12px 16px;text-align:left;">Plan</th><th style="padding:12px 16px;text-align:left;">Price</th><th style="padding:12px 16px;text-align:left;">Best For</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr style="border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;"><td style="padding:10px 16px;font-weight:600;">Starter</td><td style="padding:10px 16px;">$7/screen/mo</td><td style="padding:10px 16px;color:#64748b;">Single-location QSR, independent fast food, food trucks</td></tr><tr style="border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;background:#f8f9fa;"><td style="padding:10px 16px;font-weight:600;">Pro</td><td style="padding:10px 16px;">$10/screen/mo</td><td style="padding:10px 16px;color:#64748b;">Franchise chains — SSO, multi-location controls, role-based access, API included</td></tr><tr style="border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;"><td style="padding:10px 16px;font-weight:600;">Enterprise</td><td style="padding:10px 16px;"><a href="https://kitcast.tv/contact" style="color:#2563eb;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;">Contact us</a></td><td style="padding:10px 16px;color:#64748b;">National chains (50+ locations), dedicated CSM, custom SLAs, volume pricing</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p class="text-size-regular" style="margin-top:16px;color:#64748b;">Volume discounts available. 14-day free trial.
