Consumer streaming sticks weren't designed for 12-hour service days. They can update on their own schedule, show home-screen ads and drop off Wi-Fi mid-rush.
The Display NOW Edge Player is built for 24/7 commercial use, and it’s included in the Business Edge plan, with remote device support from our team.
Display NOW founder & CEO Chris Dukich didn't set out to build a digital signage company. He set out to solve his own problem.
“I created Display NOW because I had a basic need for signage to communicate announcements to residents in a condo building. I didn’t want to pay the ridiculous prices that other providers charge. I tried to go the ‘free’ route, but I ended up coming home to blank screens and putting in hours each month just keeping them alive.
Business owners and managers face rising costs every year, and ‘free’ looks attractive when you’re trying to keep things lean. But our competitors use ‘free’ plans as glorified trials. Limited screens, watermarked content, missing features, all designed to push you to upgrade. Free often costs more than paying a reasonable price when you add up the downtime, the support tickets, and the hours you spend keeping it running.
We built Display NOW with the goal of being the number one best value on the market. We have a free plan for people who genuinely need a basic solution, with real features, not a trial. And for everyone else, we built the Edge Player so you never have to worry about hardware again.”

annual savings per location

(Forrester / WAND Digital ROI analysis)
Most restaurant owners are stuck reprinting menus, missing promo windows, and managing locations manually. Digital signage for restaurants fixes all three.
Update a price or pull a sold-out dish, and you're back to the print shop. Restaurant menu boards that rely on print are slow and expensive, and in a restaurant, something always changes.
When your restaurant display boards are static, last-minute offers go unnoticed or show up inconsistently. By the time the printed insert is ready, the special is nearly over.
Without a centralized system, each location runs its own materials on its own timeline. Every campaign rollout becomes a back-and-forth logistics exercise.
Display NOW is restaurant digital signage software that connects all your in-store screens, from your dining room, drive-thru, to back-of-house, to a single cloud-based platform. One update reaches every digital display for restaurants, instantly.
Instant menu updates across every screen Change a price, swap a menu item, or push a daily special from your phone in seconds. Your restaurant digital menu boards update instantly. No reprints. No delays.
Scheduled daypart menus and timed promotions Set breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus to switch automatically. Schedule limited-time offers to go live and expire automatically. Your digital menu boards for restaurants run on your schedule without anyone touching a screen.
Centralized management across every location One site or fifty, push the same update everywhere at once or customize it by location.
