What is a vertical smokehouse menu board?

A smokehouse menu board is the screen listing smoked meats and the platters they come on. On a TV it loops the name, the platter and what is on it, one price, and the hours, so what has come off the smoker is what the board offers.

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 9:16, so stand the TV on its end and the board fills it.

Questions people actually ask

Why stand a TV on its end for a smokehouse counter?
Because the wall usually decides. A smokehouse counter tends to sit against a pillar, a narrow strip beside a doorway or a window that is taller than it is wide, and a landscape panel there either overhangs or shrinks to fit. A portrait board reads as one column top to bottom, which suits a list. What it is not is a rotated landscape design: turning a wide layout on its side re-wraps every line, so the board is authored in the shape the screen is mounted in.
How do I mount a screen in portrait safely?
Three checks before drilling. The bracket has to allow rotation, which most VESA plates do but some fixed ones do not. The panel itself has to be rated for portrait: many consumer TVs are not, because heat rises differently through a rotated panel and the warranty often says so in a line people skip. And the cables have to leave the set without a tight bend at the new bottom edge. A commercial signage panel is usually rated for both orientations, which is one of the real things the premium buys.
How should a barbecue board handle selling out?
By saying so, immediately, and keeping the price on screen. Barbecue sells out by design, and a smokehouse that hides it spends the evening explaining. A struck line is the honest version and it takes a tap, so it actually happens during service, which is the only test that matters for a board control.
Weight or plate: how do I price smoked meat on a board?
Whichever you actually sell, said once. Pricing brisket by the 200 grams and ribs by the half rack on the same board is normal and fine as long as each line carries its own unit. What confuses is a platter priced with no indication of what it feeds: put serves three to four beside the price, because that is the number the table is deciding with.
