Heading Slats

The typefaces we use for your heading slat have been chosen for their readability, nevertheless, our customers can still choose from a wide selection of standard typefaces and unlimited colours.

Special designs and effects can also be used on double heading slats, such as graduated, patterned (marble) or rainbow spectrum.

Item Slats

Item slats are used to display particular items on the menu as well as prices. We recommend that the colour of the item slat complements the colour of the frame. For example: green item slats look great with a green frame and black slats with a gold frame ... etc.

The colour of the text should contrast well with the slat colour for maximum impact; yellow text with black slats and white text with all colours except yellow.

The typeface we recommend for readability and fast food style is Benguiat Gothic.

Slat Holders

Our slat system uses special panel runners which give a neat display and make changing slats or prices easy. Plus all menus are supplied with a price sticker pack to enable price updates.

Frames

Frames are available in a wide range of colours which can be used to complement your interior decor or match your slats. Some of our customers have even used frame colours to add impact to their food images. For example, a pink frame goes well in an Ice Cream Parlour and green frames are used regularly in Salad Bars. Red frames are widely used in Kebab and Burger shops whereas black and gold find favour in Pizza and Fried Chicken emporiums. Yellow frames are most successful with Sandwich and Snack Bars.

We will be pleased to offer advice on frame colour selection.

Installation Instructions

Simplicity and ease of use is the key to our modular menu system. Each box comprises four parts:
1 The Panel - holds your text slats and transparency.
2 The Frame - houses the picture and slat panel and can easily be detached from the main box unit.
3 The Light Box - constructed of aluminum, contains the electric fittings.
4 Slats and Transparencies - fitted behind a non-reflective clear panel, enables easy cleaning from the outside.

Easy Access to Transparency, Slats and Prices

To reach the panel, simply pull the frame off the box unit. Undo a few clips and detach the panel. The transparency and slats can then be easily changed and re-installed all within a few minutes.

Connecting Boxes

Simply attach units to each other (on any side) by using fixing bolts supplied. Electrical connection is by way of plug-in leads between boxes.

Electronics

Power consumption ranges from 30 to 100 Watt, depending on the size of the unit. One feed only is required with the average system. All fittings comply with the relevant safety standards and use standard lamps.

Menu System Wall Fixing

1 Take the total size of your menu system and the size of the space available, then mark the starting point and the level of the menu.
2 Fix the first box to the wall through the box back sheet using suitable fixing screws
3 Join the next box by using the wing bolt and nut connectors supplied (after removing the 2 black plugs).
4 Fix the next box (as step 2) to the wall.
5 Keep fixing all boxes (bolting them together) until the menu system is complete.

Suspended Menu System Units

1 Join the boxes together (using wing bolts) to form one strong body.
2 Connect the boxes together using the supplied cable connectors.
3 Suspend the menu system by chain and hooks.
4 Connect the electrical power supply to the mains.
5 Clip the frames by pushing into spring grooves.

Floor Stand Fitting

Any size of menu case can be attached to a floor stand (free-standing or floor fixed) by using nuts and bolts supplied. Both types of stand are constructed of steel and finished in black paint.
