faq:
  - question: How do digital menu boards work?
    answer: A small player app runs on a screen or media player and connects to the Loopvew cloud CMS. You build and schedule menu content once, and it publishes to every board at once — dayparts, prices, and specials update centrally instead of screen by screen.
  - question: Can I change menu prices on every screen at once?
    answer: Yes. Update an item once in Loopvew and the new price publishes to every menu board across all your locations at the same time — no walking screen to screen.
  - question: Do menu boards keep working if the internet drops?
    answer: Yes. Each screen caches its playlist locally, so menu boards keep playing through a network outage and sync again automatically when the connection returns.
  - question: Can menus change automatically by time of day?
    answer: Yes. Schedule breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus by daypart and Loopvew swaps them automatically at the times you set, with no one touching the screens.
  - question: Can digital menu boards show calories and allergens?
    answer: Yes. Menu boards can display item descriptions, calorie counts, and allergen or dietary labels alongside prices, and you can tailor which details show per board or location.
  - question: What hardware do I need for restaurant digital signage?
    answer: Loopvew runs on existing Android TVs, commercial Samsung and LG displays, and compact media players — so most restaurants can use hardware they already own or low-cost players rather than proprietary systems.
  - question: Can I run different content in different locations?
    answer: Yes. Group screens by store or region and target menus, pricing, and promos to each group, while still managing every location from the same dashboard.
  - question: Does Loopvew support vertical menu boards?
    answer: Yes. Content can be built and scheduled for both portrait and landscape orientation, so vertical counter boards and widescreen overhead menus are both supported.

## Restaurant screens that keep up with service

Loopvew turns restaurant TVs into a menu and marketing channel you control centrally. Change a price once and it reaches every board; schedule dayparts once and they run themselves; publish a special and it's live before the lunch rush.

## Built for the lunch rush, not just the brochure

A menu board that goes blank mid-service is worse than a printed menu. Loopvew screens cache their playlists locally, so they keep playing through internet outages and resync when the connection returns. Pairing, scheduling, and updates all happen from one dashboard — no one on a ladder with a USB stick.

For multi-location groups, screens group by store or region so pricing and promos can differ by location while brand and menu structure stay consistent.

## Works on the hardware you already have

Loopvew runs on existing Android TVs, commercial Samsung and LG displays, and compact media players — most restaurants don't need to buy proprietary screens. Confirm your display models with us and we'll point you at the right player.

## From one café to a national chain

A single-screen café and a 200-location QSR chain use the same workflow: pair the screen, publish the menu, schedule the dayparts. Start with the counter boards you need today and add drive-thru, pickup, and staff screens when you're ready.
