For restaurants & cafés
Be where they eat next.
Put your kitchen on partner screens in the cafés, laundromats and barbershops around you. People see you while they wait, so when they’re hungry they already know where they’re going.

Why screens nearby
The chains are already on screens. Your turn.
Quick-service restaurants were the seventh-biggest out-of-home category by spend in the US in 2025.1 Buying one play at a time puts a screen down the street within reach of a single kitchen: start from $5 and put more behind what works.
Match your rush
Your rush, their hours.
An ad plays whenever its venue is open. You can’t pick the hours yet, so pick the venues: ones that are open while your crowd is deciding where to eat.
2 of 5 venues are open for all of dinner.
Your ad runs through each venue’s whole day, so it’s on during your rush and around it. Set a daily budget and each screen spreads it evenly across the hours it’s open, so you’re seen all day instead of spent by breakfast.

How it works
Four steps, à la carte.
No agency and no minimum run. You pick the screens, and you pay for the plays that ran.
Pricing
The check, before you order.
Two numbers set a run. A daily budget paces your plays across the venue’s open hours. A total ends the run when it’s spent.
You can’t pick an end date yet, so the total is how a run ends. It lasts at least as many days as the check says, and longer if the venue is quiet.

Before you print the specials
Make it true. Make it readable.
A screen ad is still an ad: the rules you follow on a flyer come with you. And someone glancing up from a dryer gives you about as long as it takes to read one line.
Rules that come with you
Advertising drinks? Check your state first.
Alcohol advertising is regulated state by state, and the rules can reach the words and the pictures in your ad. Look up your state’s alcohol beverage agency before a glass appears on screen.
Price on the screen? Make it the price at the counter.
Your ad keeps playing until its budget is spent, so any price in it has to stay right for as long as it runs.
What reads on a screen
One dish, big.
People glance up from a dryer or a barber’s chair. A single plate they can read from across the room beats a whole menu.
Say how to find you.
“Two blocks north on Linden” works harder than an address. Add your hours if they’re a reason to come.
Skip the dates.
You can’t choose which days an ad plays yet. “Birria every Tuesday” stays true; “this Tuesday only” goes stale.
Elaview’s content check looks at what’s on the screen. It doesn’t review your ad against the rules of your profession. That part is yours. This is general information, not legal advice.
