Is There a Monthly Fee for Digital Menus?

No — Zenith Digital Menus does not charge monthly fees. Unlike most digital signage companies that lock you into monthly or annual subscriptions, we operate on a simple, transparent pricing model with one-time costs and pay-as-you-go updates.

Our Pricing Model

Here's exactly what you pay:

• Hardware & Installation: $500/screen — A one-time cost. You own the media player and mounting hardware outright. No leases, no rental fees.
• Custom Menu Design: $750/screen — A one-time cost for professional menu design tailored to your brand and menu items.
• Menu Updates: $100/hour — Pay only when you need changes. No minimums, no retainers, no monthly billing.

That's it. No hidden fees, no platform charges, no software licenses, no hosting costs.

Why We Don't Charge Monthly Fees

Many digital menu providers charge $30–$200 per screen per month for cloud-based software platforms. Over time, those fees add up to thousands of dollars — often more than the hardware itself. We believe that's unnecessary.

Our approach is different because we're a done-for-you service, not a software company. We don't make you log into a platform and manage your own content. Instead, we handle everything — design, deployment, updates — and charge you only for the work we do. It's a simpler, more cost-effective model for restaurant owners.

The Real Cost Comparison

Let's compare a 2-screen setup over 3 years:

• Typical subscription service: $100/month × 2 screens × 36 months = $7,200 in fees alone (plus hardware costs)
• Zenith Digital Menus: $1,000 hardware + $1,500 design = $2,500 total, plus updates only when you need them

Even if you request monthly updates at $100/hour, your total 3-year cost with Zenith is roughly $6,100 — still less than the subscription model, and you get fully managed, professional service instead of DIY software.

No Contracts, No Commitments

There are no contracts to sign, no cancellation fees, and no minimum terms. You pay for what you get, and you own what you buy. It's that simple.
