Menu screens for food stalls and kiosks
OutDeck turns a tablet or a TV into the menu board at your food stall or kiosk. Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus switch by time of day on their own. When a dish sells out or a price changes, you update it from your phone and online screens show it within seconds. It shows your menu; it does not take orders.

A typical stall setup
1 shop, 1 screen
RM29 /month
on the Essential plan
One Android tablet on a stand on the counter as the menu board. A bigger stall or a kiosk with a wall can add a TV above the counter.
Work out your own setupCan a tablet be the menu board at a food stall?
Yes. Install the free OutDeck Player app on an Android tablet running Android 8.0 or newer, sign in on the screen and pick your menu playlist. Once paired it stays awake, plays edge to edge and keeps playing if the food court Wi-Fi drops, once it has downloaded your menu. Keep it on its charger.
How fast does a price change reach the stall screen?
Within seconds while the screen is online. Change the slide or the playlist from your phone, and press Sync now to send it straight away. A screen that is offline catches up when it reconnects.
Does OutDeck take orders or payments?
No. OutDeck shows your menu, promos and videos. It does not take orders or payments, and it does not connect to a POS. If you take orders online, show your own QR code as an image.
Common questions
Can a food stall screen switch from breakfast to lunch by itself?
Yes. Schedule a breakfast playlist and a lunch playlist by time of day. The screen switches at the times you set, by your stall's time, with nobody touching it.
Can a kiosk show its menu in portrait?
Yes. Build the menu playlist in portrait and set up the screen in portrait. A tablet keeps that orientation once paired.
Is a phone big enough to be a stall menu screen?
For one or two dishes and a price, yes, on a phone running Android 8.0 or newer. For a full menu, a tablet or a TV is easier for customers to read.
