Screenza

Screenza is a restaurant digital signage platform for managing menu boards, promotions and other screen content. It can extract item names, descriptions, prices and categories from uploaded menu photos or PDFs, and generate menu boards, food imagery, promotional banners and short looping videos with AI. Daypart schedules can switch menus by time, including custom weekdays and overnight windows. Playlists rotate boards and promotions; templates can include weather, alerts, QR codes, countdowns and interactive menu search. A shared dashboard manages screens, menus and schedules across restaurant locations. Displays can run in a browser or through paired Android or Windows player apps. The player caches content locally so menus and promotional images remain on screen during an internet outage, then syncs updates after connectivity returns. The free plan includes one screen, monthly image credits, menu parses and storage, and displays a Screenza watermark. Paid plans start at $16 a month per screen. AI image credits and menu parses are limited by plan, and unused monthly credits expire at the end of each billing cycle.

Screenza combines menu import, AI-generated display content and multi-location scheduling. Compare the per-screen plan allowances with expected usage, and review generated or parsed content for errors.

It suits restaurants that need to manage menus and promotional displays across screens or locations. The free plan may fit a one-screen setup; larger allowances and watermark-free displays are in paid plans.

Screenza is restaurant-focused digital signage software for building menu boards and managing display content. It is best suited to restaurants that need scheduled menus or promotions across screens and locations. Its AI and menu-import tools can speed content creation, but per-screen quotas and the need to check generated or extracted content matter.

Overview

Screenza brings menu creation and display management together. It can generate menu boards, food images, promotional banners, and short looping videos, or extract menu items, descriptions, prices, and categories from a photo or PDF. That pairing is useful when moving an existing menu onto screens, though OCR and AI output still require careful review: errors are possible, and Screenza does not guarantee that generated content is unique or non-infringing.

Displays can run from a browser URL or a dedicated Android or Windows player app. The player caches menus and promotional images locally, continuing playback during an internet outage and syncing updates when connectivity returns. Screenza also offers support for player installation and display-device troubleshooting.

Key features

Scheduling and playlists

Automatic daypart changes, custom weekdays, and overnight windows suit restaurants whose menus or promotions vary by service period. Playlists rotate menu boards and promotions, and templates can include weather, alerts, QR codes, countdowns, and interactive menu search. These options make it possible to mix operational information with food and offers, rather than limiting a screen to a static menu.

Multi-location control and usage limits

A single dashboard manages screens, menus, and schedules across multiple restaurant locations, which is useful for coordinated publishing. However, paid allowances are per screen, not simply a shared pool: adding displays also scales the subscription while increasing the available image credits, video credits, menu parses, and storage per screen. Monthly AI credits and parses expire at the end of each billing cycle, so unused capacity does not carry forward.

Screenza identifies Stripe as a payment processor and describes possible third-party AI, hosting, CDN, and analytics services. No named restaurant POS integration is specified. Customers are responsible for protecting account credentials and managing authorized-user access; no security certification is stated.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and supports one screen, with 5 image credits per month, 10 menu parses per month, and 100 MB storage. It carries a Powered by Screenza watermark, making it better for a limited trial or a single low-volume display than for polished customer-facing signage.

Starter costs $16 a month, billed at $16 /screen/mo. It includes 20 image credits per screen per month, 2 video credits per screen per month, 40 menu parses per screen per month, 1.0 GB storage per screen, uploaded videos, and no watermark. This is the entry paid tier for one or a few screens, but modest video and image allowances may constrain frequent creative refreshes.

Growth costs $28 a month, billed at $28 /screen/mo. Its per-screen monthly allowances rise to 45 image credits, 5 video credits, 100 menu parses, and 5.0 GB storage; it also supports uploaded videos and removes the watermark. It fits restaurants that need more frequent content changes or larger media libraries than Starter allows.

Multi-location costs $42 a month, billed at $42 /screen/mo. It provides 80 image credits, 10 video credits, 200 menu parses, and 15 GB storage per screen each month, plus video uploads and no watermark. The larger quotas suit heavier content needs across locations, but per-screen billing makes the cost grow with the display count. Compare expected use against these allowances before choosing a tier.

Platforms

Screenza supports Android, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Displays can use a browser URL or a dedicated Android or Windows player app; the listed platform range does not mean every platform has a dedicated player.

Who it's for

Screenza is a good fit for restaurants that want menu import, AI-assisted promotional content, daypart scheduling, and centralized control of screens across locations. It is less compelling for businesses that need a named POS integration, want unmetered AI content, or cannot accommodate per-screen costs and monthly expiring quotas.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Photo and PDF menu import can extract core menu fields, reducing manual re-entry when creating digital boards.
• Pros: Daypart, weekday, and overnight scheduling plus playlists support varied service periods and promotions.
• Pros: Local caching keeps menus and promotional images on screen through internet interruptions.
• Cons: Free service is limited to one watermarked screen, with just 5 image credits, 10 menu parses, and 100 MB storage.
• Cons: Paid plans meter image, video, and parsing use per screen, and unused monthly credits expire without rollover.
• Cons: AI and OCR output can be wrong and needs review; generated content is not guaranteed unique or non-infringing.
• Cons: No named restaurant POS integration or security certification is stated.

Alternatives

Digital Menu Software is a useful starting point for comparing options across the category.

Consider OlaClick if you want a restaurant-oriented option with a free plan that explicitly advertises no commission per order; its paid plans are priced in BRL.

GustoQR may suit a business focused on QR menus and customer access, with a free plan that includes team access, templates, and AI features but caps usage at 500 customers per year and adds a footer.

SuperQR is an alternative to consider for QR-code workflows across web, API, or self-hosted environments; its free plan is limited to one location, 10 QR points, one staff member, and 50 monthly credits.

Flipdish is worth considering when a branded website and online ordering platform are central requirements; its Website plan is $149 a month per site.

EatPe may be a better fit for a business looking for POS billing, invoice limits, or QR plans, with freemium access and a free trial.

TapNConnect is another option to compare if queue management and QR menus are a priority; its trial lasts 14 days and includes 50 tokens.

Menutech may appeal to teams seeking menu-focused tools with a trial and a $20 a month Subscription Mini plan, but it has no free plan.

NexSigns is an alternative for buyers who prefer custom pricing based on screens, locations, hardware, content setup, and software requirements.

Verdict

Choose Screenza if your restaurant needs coordinated, scheduled digital menus and promotions, especially across multiple locations, and you can budget for per-screen quotas. Its strongest case is the combination of menu import, AI content creation, and offline playback. Look elsewhere if you need a named POS integration, predictable uncapped creative usage, or stronger published security assurances.
