Restaurants are beginning to embrace Digital Signage as a way of enhancing their image and increasing revenue. For a high-end restaurant, a Digital Signage System allows a restaurant to promote dinner specials and high margin items such as appetizers, cocktails, and the wine selection. These are some of the most profitable items on the menu. Digital Signage can also be used to keep customers entertained while they wait for a table.

In a sports bar installation, Digital Signage can be especially powerful. Monitors that are displaying a highly anticipated sporting event will garner many eyeballs. By passing the video signal through a player such as the Aavelin in a scalable window, that leaves the rest of the screen real estate available for messaging and advertising. Logos can be scheduled to play in a corner, sponsorships can be run in a crawl line and a Macromedia Flash Ad can run to the side of the window as well. Often times a supplier to the dining/sports bar facility will divert coop-advertising dollars to an ad on a video display instead of spending that money on a table tent or other form of print advertising.
