Menu display systems are an important part of the catering industry’s digital transformation, and the Raypodo 18.5 inch black tablet has become a new favorite of catering merchants with its appropriate size and humanized functions. Whether it is a restaurant, coffee shop or fast food restaurant, this tablet can make the menu display more intuitive and attractive.

Menu display systems

1.Appropriate Size: Balanced Display and Space

The 18.5 inch size of the Raypodo tablet is very suitable for menu display systems. It is larger than the traditional menu board, which can display more menu items and detailed information, and smaller than the 21.5 inch and 24 inch large screens, which is more suitable for the limited space of the catering store. The black appearance is simple and fashionable, which can be integrated with the decoration style of various catering stores, whether it is a modern minimalist coffee shop or a traditional Chinese restaurant. The tablet’s high-definition screen can clearly display the pictures of the dishes, making the color and texture of the dishes more vivid, which greatly stimulates the customers’ appetite.

In terms of hardware configuration, the Raypodo 18.5 inch tablet provides four chip options to meet the needs of different catering scenarios. For small catering stores with a small number of menu items, the RK3566 chip with 2GB RAM and 16/32GB ROM is sufficient. Its Android 11 system is easy to operate, and the store staff can quickly learn to update the menu. For catering stores that need to play dish production videos or dynamic menu effects, the RK3568 chip is more suitable. It supports Android 11/13 system and has better video playback capabilities.

For chain catering stores that need to manage multiple menu display systems uniformly, the RK3576 chip with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM is the best choice. Its Android 14 system supports remote unified management, and the large storage capacity can store a large number of dish pictures and videos. The RK3588 chip with 4GB RAM and 32GB ROM is suitable for catering stores that need to connect with the ordering system. Its stable performance ensures the smooth synchronization of menu information and ordering data.

The 18.5 inch size has PoE function, which can be powered and transmitted through a single network cable. This is very convenient for the installation of catering stores, as it reduces the number of wires and makes the store environment more tidy. The tablet supports wall-mounted and stand-up placement. It can be wall-mounted on the wall of the dining area or placed on the counter of the ordering area. The flexible installation method allows catering merchants to adjust the installation position according to the store layout.

2.Digital Menu Solutions: Optimize Ordering Experience

Digital menu solutions are an important extension of menu display systems, and the Raypodo 18.5 inch tablet has done a great job in this regard. Compared with the traditional paper menu, the digital menu displayed on the tablet has stronger interactivity and update flexibility. Catering merchants can update the menu content in real time, such as adding new dishes, adjusting prices, and marking out-of-stock dishes. This avoids the trouble of reprinting the paper menu and ensures that customers can always see the latest menu information.

The digital menu solution of the Raypodo 18.5 inch tablet also supports classification display of dishes. Merchants can classify dishes into hot dishes, cold dishes, soups, desserts, etc., and customers can quickly find the dishes they like by clicking the classification button on the screen (if touch function is enabled). For example, in a hot pot restaurant, the digital menu can be classified into meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, seafood, and pot bottoms, making it easier for customers to order. In addition, the digital menu can display the nutritional ingredients, calorie content and production method of the dishes, which meets the needs of customers who pay attention to health.

According to the 2025 news from ISE, the digital signage industry is paying more and more attention to the application of interactive technology in the catering industry (. The Raypodo 18.5 inch tablet’s digital menu solution conforms to this trend. It supports touch operation. Customers can directly click on the screen to view the detailed pictures and introductions of the dishes, and even add the dishes to the shopping cart and submit the order (if connected with the ordering system). This not only improves the ordering efficiency, but also reduces the workload of the waiters.

3.Menu Engineering Displays: Improve Operational Benefits

Menu engineering displays are a high-end function of menu display systems, and the Raypodo 18.5 inch tablet can well support this function. Menu engineering is a method for catering merchants to optimize the menu structure according to the sales volume and profit margin of dishes. The Raypodo tablet can display the recommended dishes, best-selling dishes and high-profit dishes marked by the merchant in a prominent position, guiding customers to order these dishes, thereby improving the store’s profit margin.

For example, merchants can mark the best-selling signature dishes with a “best-selling” label on the digital menu, and display the pictures of these dishes in a larger size. They can also set up a “chef’s recommendation” column to display high-profit dishes. The dynamic display effect of the tablet makes these marked dishes more eye-catching. At the same time, the tablet’s remote management function allows merchants to adjust the display position and marking method of dishes according to the sales data of different periods. For example, during the lunch period, they can highlight the fast-serving set meals; during the dinner period, they can highlight the high-end dishes.

The Raypodo 18.5 inch tablet also supports the display of limited-time promotional activities. Merchants can set up a “limited-time discount” column on the digital menu to display the dishes on promotion. The dynamic countdown effect can stimulate customers’ desire to order. For example, a coffee shop can display the “afternoon tea set discount” activity on the tablet from 2pm to 5pm, and the countdown timer on the screen reminds customers of the remaining time of the activity, prompting them to order in time. This promotional method is more flexible and effective than traditional poster promotions.
