Why Choosing the Right Subscription Plan Matters
Digital menu boards have become essential for restaurants that need flexibility, reduced printing costs, and accurate menus across every location. Menu Board Manager offers three subscription tiers — Starter, Pro, and Business — each designed to match different operational needs and levels of complexity. Understanding the differences between these plans ensures you invest in the right tools for your restaurant’s current workflow and future growth.
Starter: Graphic Menus with Simple Scheduling
Starter is ideal for restaurants that create menu designs in a graphics tool such as Canva, Photoshop, or any other design platform. If your workflow involves uploading finished graphic images and publishing them to your screens, Starter covers the essentials. The plan includes uploading and publishing graphic-only menus, day-part scheduling for breakfast, lunch, and dinner rotations, and access to a self-service knowledgebase with support articles and video tutorials. Starter is best suited for restaurants with stable pricing, fewer menu changes, or a marketing team that prefers to handle updates offline and republish static graphics as needed. If you need help creating polished visuals, Menu Board Manager also offers professional menu board content design services.
Pro: Dynamic Menus, Intelligent Features, and Live Support
Pro introduces dynamic menu functionality that makes price and product availability updates dramatically faster. Instead of editing graphics every time a price changes, Pro users type changes directly inside Menu Board Manager and see those updates appear on the boards instantly. Pro includes everything in Starter plus dynamic menus with editable text and pricing, 86/68 menu item availability controls, integration with Toast POS so you can manage price and availability updates from a single platform, chat and email support from the in-house support team, and an advanced Outlook-style scheduling calendar for planning promotions or rotating seasonal menus. Pro is the right fit for restaurants that change prices regularly, want granular control over item availability, or need more responsive support than a self-service knowledgebase alone can provide.
Business: Integrated Operations and Full Support
Business is built for multi-location brands and high-volume operators who want maximum automation and direct integration with their point of sale system. Business includes everything in Pro plus phone support for rapid assistance, integration with supported POS systems for streamlined menu synchronization, additional enterprise features that simplify managing many screens and locations, and access to all advanced scheduling tools for future-dated promotions and complex menu strategies. Business is ideal for restaurants that need seamless POS connections, coordinated rollout of menu changes across multiple locations, or dedicated support to ensure smooth daily operation.
Which Plan Is Right for You?
Choose Starter if your menus are graphic-based and rarely change. Choose Pro if you need dynamic editing, Toast integration, and stronger support. Choose Business if you operate multiple locations, require POS integrations, or need the highest level of support. Each plan from Menu Board Manager is engineered to match a different stage of growth. Whether you are running a single café or coordinating dozens of locations, the right subscription keeps your menu boards accurate, visually compelling, and effortless to manage.
