Supporting hospitality and contract catering operators is our bread and butter
What digital signage does for Hospitality & Contract Catering operators
Content That Keeps Pace
We’ve been working with Hospitality & Contract Catering operators — large and small — for over a decade. In that time, we’ve built a deep understanding of the pressures that Marketing Directors, Operations Managers, IT leads and Procurement teams face every single day.
Menus change. Allergen information must be accurate. Promotional activity needs to land at the right moment.
Content has to be on-point across every site, every time — whether you’re managing five locations or five hundred. And none of it can be allowed to add to the operational burden of the teams on the ground.
That’s the problem we solve. End to end.
Digital is the new gold standard
Dynamic menu boards that update instantly. No more reprints, no more outdated pricing, no more compliance risk from incorrect allergen information. Update content across your entire estate — instantly and remotely.
Promotional content that drives upsell. Scheduled promotions, service switching and event-triggered content mean the right offer appears in front of the right customer at exactly the right time. Operators using digital menu boards consistently report average transaction value increases of up to 15%.
Brand consistency at scale. Whether you’re running a B&I restaurant in a corporate HQ, a food hall across a university campus or catering operations across a stadium, your brand is consistent everywhere. Our content management team handles it so yours doesn’t have to.
Reduced operational overhead. No more coordinating print runs, managing delivery logistics or chasing venues to update their displays. Our managed service takes all of it off your plate.
Sustainability credentials that matter. Eliminating printed menus and promotional materials across a large catering estate represents a significant reduction in paper and chemical waste — a measurable, reportable win for your ESG goals.
Our hospitality and contract catering clients include some of the most respected names in the Hospitality & Contract Catering industry: Sodexo, Compass Group, Aramark, WSH Group, ISS and many more independent and growing operators. We understand the commercial pressures, the operational realities and the brand standards that come with working at this level — and we build our service around them.

Digital Messaging Company ensured that there were clear lines of communication, even going so far as to have a team member on site for the first days to ensure that the screens were working. The menu content looks fantastic, adding to the look and feel of the new restaurant.

What types of digital signage are best for Hospitality & Contract Catering environments?
The most common and effective solutions in contract catering are digital menu boards (landscape and portrait), horizon walls for multi-concept food hall environments, stretch displays for menu rails and shelf-edge applications, and digital totems for freestanding directional or promotional use. The right combination depends on your space, footfall and content requirements.
Can digital menu boards help with allergen compliance?
Yes. Digital menu boards allow you to update allergen information instantly and centrally — removing the risk of outdated or incorrect information. This is particularly important following Natasha’s Law and the ongoing duty of care that catering operators hold toward customers with allergies.
How quickly can content be updated on digital menu boards?
Content updates can be made in near real-time. Whether it’s a price change, a sold-out item, a lunchtime special or a promotional push, changes can be reflected on screens within minutes of being approved.
Can you manage content updates across multiple catering sites?
Absolutely. Multi-site content management is central to what we do. Our team can push updates to individual screens, groups of screens or your entire estate simultaneously — with scheduling, approval workflows and brand controls built in.
Is digital signage a sustainable alternative to printed menus?
Yes — significantly so. Replacing printed menus and promotional materials with digital signage eliminates ongoing paper and chemical consumption across the estate. For large contract catering operators, this represents a material and measurable reduction in environmental impact that can be included in ESG and sustainability reporting.
