What is a dim sum menu board?

A dim sum menu board is the screen listing steamers and what each costs. On a TV it loops the house name, the list with piece counts and prices, one set for two, and the hours, so what is steaming today is what the board says.

This board runs on

Any screen with a modern browser. There is no media player box to buy and nothing to install: you open a link on the TV, pair it once, and change what it shows from your phone.

It is authored at 16:9, so stand the TV the usual way and the board fills it.

Questions people actually ask

Should a dim sum board show the piece count?
Always, and beside the name rather than in a note. Har gow four pieces and har gow three pieces are different prices, and a board that hides the count moves the question to the counter, which is the slowest place to answer it during yum cha. It is also what makes two dishes at different prices look consistent rather than arbitrary.
Is a light board a mistake for a restaurant?
Not indoors. A pale board with dark type reads as calm and is easier to hold a lot of small type on, which suits a list where every line carries a count and a price. The two conditions are real contrast, meaning near black on cream rather than grey, and no direct daylight on the panel. In a window, go dark.
How many dishes belong on one screen?
Four to six lines per slide, and a second slide if the list is longer. The instinct with dim sum is to put the whole trolley on the wall, and the result is type nobody reads from a table. A loop lets you carry twelve dishes as two readable screens instead of one unreadable one, and each screen holds for long enough to be read.
Can we show a set menu and the a la carte list together?
On separate slides, yes. Putting them on one screen makes the customer compare a bundle to a price list in a single glance, which nobody does well. The set gets a slide with its price and what is in it; the list gets its own. They are one loop apart, which is a few seconds, and both stay readable.
