Schedule breakfast, lunch, seasonal, or special menus.
Sold-out controls

The operational problem
The board changes faster than the printed menu
Cafés rotate pastries, sell through daily stock, and switch service periods. The digital menu can follow those changes without a new print file.
What changes
A current menu for dine-in and takeaway
Use scheduled menus and item availability to show what is actually being served, then route table, counter, and pickup work into the restaurant workflow.
