Raydiant expands digital signage platform, includes DS Menu

November 3, 2021

Digital signage platform provider Raydiant is expanding its app marketplace to include integration with partner DS Menu. The partnership brings DS Menu's digital menu solutions to the Raydiant platform, giving businesses display choices to boost brand awareness, improve sales and attract more customers, according to a company press release.

The integration offers more than 1,000 of DS Menu's visual and audio-visual templates created by professional designers. Templates can be displayed "as is" for turnkey digital menu boards or customized to the business's brand and aesthetic.

"We're always looking to add exciting tools to our app marketplace that help our brick-and-mortar customers improve their customer experience," Bobby Marhamat, Raydiant CEO, said in the release. "DS Menu caught our attention because of the wide spectrum of unique and dynamic templates they offer, and their ability to provide easy, turnkey menu boards that can also be customized to fit our customer's needs and wants. And all this functionality is offered on an easy-to-use platform, just like ours. It was the perfect match, partnership-wise."

The DS Menu app can be accessed and managed from the Raydiant dashboard. The system lets users create digital menu boards from custom templates and apply them to multiple in-location screens in one or multiple locations. Users can modify templates to fit their brand, adding logos and other branded content. They can also create and schedule menu playlists, setting the menu board to automatically transition to a new menu at a certain time.

"We're pleased to partner with Raydiant, as both our brands focus on building better in-location experiences," Probir Kumar Sarkar, DS Menu CEO, said in the release. "High-visual digital menu boards are quickly taking the place of paper and chalk menu boards, and it's exciting to see how our platforms work together to attract customers and bring in more sales."

Founded in April 2017, Raydiant investors include Bloomberg Beta, Lerer Hippeau, Transmedia Capital, 8VC, Atomic Ventures and Ron Conway.
