• Installation: Physical installation of screens and integration with the restaurant’s IT environment.
• Staff Training and Content Creation: Train staff on the new system and create initial menu designs and promotional content.

Challenges

The project encountered several challenges:

• Menu Set Up: Ensuring seamless integration to synchronize menu changes and pricing.
