Every drive-thru second, earned.
Outdoor menu boards, KDS-integrated order-ready screens, calorie compliance and daypart automation for quick-service.
QSR operators live on seconds. Signage has to live there with them.
The typical fast-food operation processes a customer every 90 seconds at the till and every 3-4 minutes through the drive-thru. A laminated menu board that drifts out of date by one daypart — or a handwritten 'no shakes' sign taped to the drive-thru speaker — costs real throughput. Hangar.Media connects to your POS (Toast, Revel, Oracle MICROS Simphony, Xenial, Par Brink, NCR Aloha, Square for Restaurants) and your kitchen-display system so every menu board, order-ready screen and drive-thru panel pulls from the same source of truth. Calorie-compliance (UK out-of-home calorie regs, US FDA menu-labelling) is built in — not a premium add-on. Outdoor 2,500-nit hardware for drive-thru use is supported natively.
Built for how qsr & fast casual actually run.
The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.
The drive-thru board that can read in June sunshine.
2,500+ nit outdoor-rated menu boards (single, dual and tri-panel configurations) with automatic daylight brightness compensation. POS-synced pricing, daypart scheduling from breakfast to late-night, and promotional overlays (combo deals, kids meals, limited-time offers) that swap on the minute. The order-preview panel echoes what the customer just said into the speaker — catching mis-orders before the collection window.
Drive-thru cycle time drops when the customer can read the board without squinting.
- 2,500+ nit outdoor-rated displays with auto-brightness
- Single / dual / tri-panel configurations for any drive-thru lane
- Order-preview panel echoing customer order from POS
- Daypart and promotional-overlay scheduling per panel
Order 47 is ready. The screen says so. The customer knows.
Collection-window and in-store order-ready screens pull ticket status from your kitchen display system (Toast KDS, Oracle Kitchen Display, PAR KDS, NCR Aloha KDS, Square KDS). When the kitchen marks order 47 as ready, the customer screen shows '47 — Ready for collection' and (optionally) a speaker announcement. Customers stop crowding the counter asking 'is mine next?' and collection times drop.
Counter pressure drops when the screen answers 'is my order ready?' before the customer asks.
- Live KDS integration with Toast KDS, Oracle Kitchen Display, PAR KDS
- Numeric-order-ready and named-order-ready variants
- Optional speaker-announcement integration for hearing-accessible variant
- Running-queue-position display ('you're next after 46')
Breakfast 6am. Lunch 11. Dinner 5. Late-night 10. Every screen.
Schedule breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night menus across every screen in the operation. Breakfast swaps to lunch at 11am on the dot — every board, every till, every drive-thru panel simultaneously. Regional variants (UK breakfast vs US breakfast) swap per site. Manager override for 'we're still doing breakfast until 11:30 today' when supply or demand shifts.
11am hits. The whole operation flips to lunch in one second. No one touches a screen.
- Up to 16 dayparts per day across every screen zone
- Regional-variant menus per site (country, region, language)
- Manager override for temporary schedule changes
- Preview mode to see what every screen will show at any given time
UK out-of-home regs. US FDA menu-labelling. Built in.
UK out-of-home calorie labelling regs (Calorie Labelling Regulations 2021) and US FDA menu-labelling requirements require calorie information to be displayed adjacent to each menu item. Hangar.Media ships this natively — calorie values populate from POS item attributes and display inline with each menu item. Customisable for kids-meal exclusions, restaurant-size thresholds and regional regulatory variants. Every menu change is audit-logged for inspector reference.
Inspector arrives. The audit log exports in 30 seconds. Compliance evidenced.
- UK out-of-home calorie-labelling compliance (CLR 2021)
- US FDA menu-labelling compliance for 20+ location chains
- Calorie-per-meal or calorie-per-combo display with adjustable format
- Audit log of every menu change for inspector reference
Self-order kiosks and menu boards in sync — not in conflict.
Self-order kiosks (NCR Touchpoint, Tillster, Ordrslip, Toast Kiosk) integrate with our menu-board scheduling so the kiosk screen and the menu board always agree on pricing, availability and promotions. When a breakfast combo runs out at 10:45am, it's gone from the kiosk and the board at the same moment.
Kiosk price and board price match, always. No 'but the board said £4.99' disputes.
- NCR Touchpoint, Tillster, Ordrslip, Toast Kiosk integration
- Shared pricing and availability model between kiosk and board
- Kiosk-specific upsell prompts with board-sync
- Accessibility-mode kiosk layouts for larger-print and high-contrast
50 sites. One dashboard. Menu refresh in an afternoon.
QSR operators with 5 to 500 sites run from one central dashboard. Group by brand, region, market or franchisee cluster. Push a group-wide price change, LTO campaign or menu-item launch across every screen in the operation with per-site dry-run. Franchisee operators can have per-site manager permissions with head-office brand guardrails.
Menu refresh used to take a fortnight of van visits. Now it's an afternoon.
- Group-wide menu and price rollout with per-site dry-run
- Franchisee-aware role permissions (HO, area, franchisee, manager)
- Regional and market-specific menu variants
- Per-site usage, uptime and content analytics

Which POS and KDS systems do you integrate with?
Hangar.Media integrates natively with Toast (POS + KDS), Revel, Oracle MICROS Simphony, Xenial, PAR Brink (and PAR KDS), NCR Aloha (and Aloha KDS), Square for Restaurants, Touchbistro, Clover and 10+ others. Self-order kiosks (NCR Touchpoint, Tillster, Ordrslip, Toast Kiosk) are also first-class integrations. All integrations are included — no per-connector fee.
Can you handle outdoor drive-thru displays in all weather?
Yes. We ship and support 2,500+ nit outdoor-rated commercial displays with IP65-sealed enclosures for all-weather drive-thru use. Single, dual and tri-panel configurations are available in portrait and landscape. Auto-brightness keeps daytime / night readability consistent. Hardware is typically financed through a monthly lease separate from the software cost — the £5/screen/month is the software cost only.
How do you handle UK and US calorie-labelling compliance?
UK Calorie Labelling Regulations 2021 (for operators with 250+ employees) and US FDA menu-labelling rules (for 20+ location chains) both require calorie info adjacent to each menu item. We ship this natively: calorie values populate from POS item attributes and display inline with each item, in the format the regs require. Audit log of every menu-content change exports on demand for inspector reference.
How does pricing work for a 20-site QSR operator?
£5 per screen per month, flat. A 20-site operator with 8 screens per site (drive-thru menu boards, counter boards, kiosks, order-ready screens) pays £800 per month for software. One rate across every feature we ship. Cancel any month. No activation fee, no minimum term.
