Watchfire LED Distributor

Licensed & Insured

Certified Electricians

Custom menu boards for restaurants, cafes, food trucks, and drive-throughs, built in-house at our Havre de Grace, MD shop since 1947. We build illuminated back-lit panels, chalkboard-style boards, printed panel boards, and digital-ready frames sized to accept a TV or monitor. Because we have licensed electricians on staff, we handle all the wiring for illuminated menu boards ourselves instead of subcontracting electrical work, and our in-house permit department takes care of the permits exterior drive-through boards often require. As an authorized Watchfire LED distributor, we can also spec an LED display for an exterior drive-through board when that's the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do custom menu boards cost?: Custom menu boards typically run $500 to $3,000, depending on size, illumination, and design complexity. Printed panel and chalkboard-style boards tend to fall toward the lower end of that range, while illuminated back-lit boards and multi-panel drive-through systems run higher. Digital-ready frames that accept a TV or monitor are priced separately from the screen itself.
What types of menu boards do you build?: We build illuminated back-lit menu boards, printed panel boards, chalkboard-style boards, and digital-ready frames sized to accept a TV or monitor insert, for both interior counter displays and exterior drive-through use. Every board is fabricated in-house at our Havre de Grace, MD shop, and because we have licensed electricians on staff, we wire illuminated boards ourselves rather than bringing in an outside electrician.
Do you supply the digital screen and menu software, or just the frame?: For digital-ready menu boards, we design and build the frame or cabinet sized to accept your TV or monitor and handle the electrical hookup. We don't sell menu-management software or POS integration — you'll pair the frame with whatever screen and content system your restaurant already uses. If your drive-through calls for an outdoor LED display instead of a screen, we're an authorized Watchfire distributor and can spec that separately.
Can I update my menu board when prices change?: Yes. Printed panel boards are designed with replaceable sections so you can swap panels when items or prices change, and chalkboard-style boards can be updated by hand at any time. Digital-ready boards let you update the menu as often as you like through whatever screen and software you're running. For exterior illuminated boards that need a local sign permit or variance, our in-house permit department handles that paperwork for you.
