OAK BROOK, Ill., Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It may not be something you think about, but the menu makes a big difference in what and how you order when dining out. AT&T* has collaborated with STRATACACHE and LG Electronics to provide a completely integrated solution with Digital Menu Boards for McDonald's USA's business.

STRATACACHE's ActiVia for Media 4.0 digital signage software provides a dynamic merchandising solution for single and multi-panel menu board solutions  With ActiVia, select McDonald's restaurants in the U.S. can easily change menu board items, adjust pricing, day-part menus, and promote special and premium items at will.

LG is providing cutting-edge display technology with its 47-inch class LED monitors to bring a new level of clearer image quality. The LG Full HD displays, at least five displays per McDonald's location, are ENERGY STAR® certified, supporting McDonald's commitment to environmental sustainability. 

"Our customers are responding positively to our new menu boards.  It is easier to see our great tasting food on a digital display," said Patrick Phalen, McDonald's Vice President, US Information Technology.  McDonald's is deploying Digital Menu Boards to an additional 650+ company-owned restaurants.
