The FourCrown Organization, the largest Wendy’s franchisee, currently operates 59 Wendy’s restaurants.
The digital signage menu board application installed at the Wendy’s location in Maplewood MN allows the restaurant to advertise its products in a dynamic format. The menu board consists of four 42-inch displays, each showing a portion of the menu and an additional 42-inch display located near the front counter showcasing seasonal and promotional products as well as Wendy’s-sponsored programmes. This application is able to dynamically change the in-store pricing and menu options, such as the addition of featured or promotional items, and the incorporation of video and other content.
