Digital Screens for Cafe Menus in Tenby, Wales

Client Overview 

A local café and ice cream shop in Tenby, Wales was undergoing a full refurbishment with the aim of modernising the space and improving the customer experience. As part of the redesign, the owners began exploring alternatives to traditional chalkboard menus and started researching digital screens for cafe menu displays.

The turning point came after a conversation with a fellow café owner and friend who had already invested in digital menu screens across three successful coffee shops. After hearing first-hand about the operational and visual benefits, the client decided it was time to make the move to digital.

Following a personal referral, the café contacted Windsor Displays to discuss a suitable digital menu solution.

The Challenge

The café required a menu display system that would:

• Replace static chalkboards with a modern, eye-catching solution

• Clearly display both café menu items and ice cream offerings

• Support video content from Walls Ice Cream to enhance upselling

• Allow screens to work together as a set or independently

• Be easy to manage without daily manual updates

• Fit seamlessly into the refurbished interior

The client also wanted a future-proof system that would allow menu changes, price updates, and promotional content to be updated quickly and remotely.

The Solution – Digital Screens for Cafe Menus

After a discussion covering wall space, viewing distance, and content requirements, we proposed three digital signage options. The client selected a configuration of four 43” digital menu screens, providing maximum flexibility and visual impact.

This setup created a large, dynamic menu area that could:

• Display static menu boards

• Run promotional videos and branded content

• Highlight ice cream ranges and limited-time offers

• Adapt easily throughout the day

The four-screen layout delivered an ideal balance between clarity, scale, and customer engagement.

Content Management & Control

To meet the requirement for flexibility and ease of use, the screens were paired with CMS (Content Management Software).

This allows the café to:

• Upload and manage content remotely

• Schedule menus by time of day

• Sync content across all screens or control each screen individually

• Instantly update pricing, products, or promotions

  
  

This system removes the need for manual menu changes and ensures content always remains fresh, consistent, and on-brand.

Installation & Setup

Our installation team mounted all four 43” digital screens in portrait orientation, creating a clean and modern digital menu wall.

For optimal performance and multi-screen synchronisation, each screen was connected using hard-wired Ethernet, ensuring reliable network connectivity and smooth playback across all displays.

The screens were configured with pre-loaded content so that, once powered on, the system played automatically, allowing the café to start benefiting from their new digital menu screens immediately.

The Result

The finished installation delivers a striking set of digital screens for cafe menus that significantly enhance the customer experience.

Key benefits include:

• A modern, professional menu presentation

• Increased customer engagement through motion and video content

• Improved upselling opportunities for ice cream and promotions

• Faster, easier menu updates with no physical reprinting

• A future-ready solution aligned with the café’s refurbished interior

The digital menu screens now serve as both an information tool and a marketing asset, helping the café stand out in a competitive hospitality environment.
