A food truck digital menu board is a TV or outdoor-rated screen on your truck, driven by a small media player and controlled from your phone or laptop. With Fugo you build the board in Design Studio, put the items in a playlist, and change prices or hide a sold-out special in seconds — from the queue, not from a laptop back at the commissary. One flat per-screen price, any hardware you already own.
What a food truck digital menu board actually is
You don’t need a POS integration, an installer, or an IT person. If you can plug in a TV and connect it to a hotspot, you can run a digital menu board.
A screen
A TV or outdoor-rated display mounted in or on your truck. For long hours in the sun, a commercial or outdoor-rated screen stays readable.
A player
A small media player runs the board: an Amazon Fire TV Stick, the Amazon Signage Stick, a Google TV Streamer, an NVIDIA Shield, or any Android device. Fugo also runs on Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Windows and ChromeOS.
Fugo
The software that builds the board and pushes changes. You design it once, then update prices or hide items from your phone.
Why food trucks switch from chalkboards and printed panels
Sold out at 12:40? Hide it at 12:40.
Tap once to hide a sold-out special the moment it goes. No one orders what you can’t make.
Change prices without a reprint.
Edit a price on your phone and every board updates. No trip to the print shop.
Photos sell better than words.
Show the dish, not just its name. Good photos lift add-ons and combos.
Same board at every pitch.
Your board looks the same at the festival, the car park and the high street. Set it once, run it anywhere.
Serve breakfast and lunch off the same screen
Set your breakfast board to switch to lunch at a time you choose, and back again tomorrow. One screen covers every service without anyone touching it mid-shift.
Building your board in Design Studio
Start from a food menu template or a blank canvas in Design Studio. Lay the board out in portrait or landscape to fit your window, drop in photos and prices, then keep brand assets tidy with the Canto DAM integration. Group your slides into a playlist and the screen plays them in order.
Sunlight, power and patchy signal
A truck is a tougher home for a screen than a café wall. Here is what to plan for.
Brightness
A home TV can wash out in direct sun. A commercial or outdoor digital signage screen is built to stay readable outside.
Beat the glare
Angle the screen away from direct sun and give it a little shade under the hatch. Position does as much as brightness.
Power
The screen and player run off your truck’s supply or a small inverter. They draw about what a couple of lights do.
Signal
A phone hotspot is usually enough. The board is mostly images and short clips, and Fugo only pulls content down when you change it.
Knowing the screen is actually on
Uptime monitoring tells you the moment a board drops offline, so you find out before a customer does. Recover a player remotely with a reboot or a remote screenshot to check what is on screen. Run one truck or ten from the same dashboard.
Running more than one truck
Pricing is per screen, so a second or third truck just adds screens at the same rate. No enterprise minimum.
Group your screens
Put every truck in one place and manage them together.
One change, every truck
Push a price change or a new item to the whole fleet at once.
Festival menu on one truck
Keep a single truck on a special event menu while the rest run as normal.
Uptime across the fleet
See which boards are on and which need a look, all from one view.
Beyond the menu board
The same screen can earn its keep between orders, too.
Loyalty and socials
Add a QR code for your loyalty scheme and show your latest social posts between menu slides.
Tomorrow’s pitch
Tell today’s queue where you’ll be tomorrow, so regulars can find you again.
Catering enquiries
Put a QR code on the board for catering and event bookings, straight to your form.
More than a menu
The same screen can run card-payment prompts and allergen notices. It’s digital menu board software that also covers restaurant and food service digital signage.
