How to Create a Canva Digital Menu Board and Display It on a TV

A Canva menu template can become more than a printable menu. With AdCast, you can turn the finished design into a digital menu board that runs on a TV and can be updated remotely.

Create your menu board in Canva

Start with a Canva menu template or a blank design. Add products, prices, photos, branding and promotional messages. For TV use, keep text large, maintain strong contrast and choose a landscape or portrait layout that matches the screen.

Export the Canva menu directly to AdCast

When the design is ready, export it to AdCast. Choose the aspect ratio and media folder, then let AdCast create the ad automatically. If you select a playlist, the new menu content can be added to it as part of the same workflow.

Publish the digital menu board to your TV

Assign the playlist to a paired display. AdCast Player handles playback on supported Android TV or Fire TV hardware, so staff do not need to copy a new image to a USB drive every time a price or promotion changes.

Use multiple Canva menu designs during the day

Create separate breakfast, lunch, dinner or happy-hour designs in Canva and organize them in AdCast. Scheduling lets the screen show the right content at the right time.

Canva templates plus digital signage management

Canva is the creative layer; AdCast is the publishing layer. This combination is useful for restaurants, cafés, bakeries, bars and quick-service locations that want attractive menus without a complicated signage workflow.
