faq:
  - question: What is digital menu board software?
    answer: Digital menu board software runs menu content on screens and lets you update items, prices, and dayparts centrally. One change in Loopvew reaches every board across every location at once, replacing static printed menus.
  - question: How fast do menu updates reach the screens?
    answer: Changes publish in seconds. Update an item once and the new price or special appears on every menu board across your locations almost immediately.
  - question: Can menu boards run offline?
    answer: Yes. Each board caches its playlist locally, so it keeps showing the current menu through an internet outage and syncs again when the connection returns.
  - question: Can menus change automatically by time of day?
    answer: Yes. Schedule breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus by daypart and they swap automatically at the times you set, with no one touching the screens.
  - question: Can menu boards show calories and allergens?
    answer: Yes. Menu boards can display item descriptions, calorie counts, and allergen or dietary labels alongside prices, tailored per board or location.
  - question: What hardware do digital menu boards need?
    answer: Loopvew runs on existing TVs, commercial Samsung and LG displays, and compact media players — most sites can use screens they already own or low-cost players.
  - question: Can I run different menus at different locations?
    answer: Yes. Group boards by store or region and target menus, pricing, and specials to each group, while managing everything from one dashboard.
  - question: Does Loopvew support vertical menu boards?
    answer: Yes. Menus can be built and scheduled for both portrait and landscape orientation, so vertical counter boards and widescreen overhead menus are both supported.

## Menus that update as fast as your kitchen

Loopvew turns menu boards into a channel you control centrally — change a price once and it reaches every board, schedule dayparts once and they run themselves, push a special and it's live everywhere in seconds.

## Built for service, not just setup

A menu board that goes blank mid-rush is worse than a printed menu. Loopvew boards cache their playlists locally, so the menu stays up through internet outages and resyncs automatically. Prices, items, and nutrition details update from one dashboard — no reprinting, no ladders, no USB sticks.

## From one counter to a chain

A single café and a national QSR chain use the same workflow: pair the board, publish the menu, schedule the dayparts. Start with the counter boards you need today and add drive-thru, kiosk, and window menus when you're ready.
