Industries — Clubs and hospitality
Specials that change at four, not next Tuesday
Bowls clubs, RSLs, golf clubs and pubs run more screens than they think: the front bar menu, the specials board, what is on this week, the members’ draw, and a sign outside the function room. Signexa runs the lot, and the duty manager can change any of it from the office computer.
On the screens
Five screens, five jobs
Menus and specials
A menu board built from a template, with prices in one place. Pull the schnitzel when it runs out and every screen in the venue agrees within seconds.
What’s on this week
Point a screen at the club calendar and the raffle, the meat tray, live music and the members’ draw appear on their own, with a countdown to the next one.
Sport and the big screen
Livestreams and video from YouTube or Vimeo, and a ticker across the bottom for club notices while the game is on.
Why it works here
Run by whoever is on shift
Day parts
Lunch menu until three, then the dinner board, then the function-room sign for the twenty-first. Set it once and the screens keep the roster themselves.
Nothing to break at the wall
Screens come back on their own after a power cut and play from local storage when the internet is out, which in a club is usually the same evening as the busy one.
Start with the menu board
It pays for itself the first time you change a price without reprinting anything.
