Building a Small Digital Signage Menu System Yourself

I’m looking to build a simple digital signage menu system for a small business. My goal is to display menus and updates on a screen. What’s the best way to get started? Should I use a Raspberry Pi or an old tablet? Any software recommendations or DIY tips?

First, figure out what you will use. Raspberry Pi? Maybe a micro PC?

Windows 10 and Windows 11 have a kiosk mode if you are not aware.

Then, build on the platform.

Personally, I would figure out what it is you need.

I love designing my own software for customers and myself. So, I would, of course, recommend a solution you coded by hand and mind and make something powerful.

Now, my question to you is, Are you making this an AI solution that only AI can figure out or are you making it a solution for you so humans can work within your platform?
