01
The card at the entrance
The menu is set in the morning and corrected at eight when a dish goes. What a passer-by reads is what the kitchen can actually serve.
Spaces / Dining
The menu, without the menu board.
01 · The problem
The board, twice a day. The menus, every month.
The lit menu board belongs to fast food, and every restaurateur above that level knows it. So the menu goes back to paper, and paper means reprinting at every change: a supplier who did not deliver, a dish that sold out at eight, a vintage that ran out last week. The card on the wall is out of date more often than it is correct, and the one at the entrance is the first thing a passer-by reads.
An e-paper frame, not a screen.
02 · The day
The wall changes on its own,
right on schedule.
Scroll: the day unfolds. Every image in this frame was scheduled ahead of time in Ginko Studio, and no one comes to change it.
07:30
Information Half past seven. The breakfast menu, updated each morning in a few seconds. Never printed again.
12:30
Information Midday. Today's dish and its price, changed from a phone in the kitchen.
19:00
Revenue Seven in the evening. One bottle, one year, chosen by the sommelier for tonight.
23:00
Ambience Eleven at night. Service is over, and the room keeps its face until morning.
03 · In your space
What it looks like, wall by wall.
02
The wine list that follows the cellar
A vintage runs out and it leaves the list the same evening, without a reprint and without a pen stroke through a line.
03
The bar, at the turn of the evening
Lunch service ends and the wall becomes the cocktail card. The room changes register without anyone carrying a board out of a cupboard.
04 · What Studio orchestrates here
One window, the whole estate.
The object is only half of it. What makes it usable at scale is being able to decide, once, what appears where and when.
-
Change a dish or a price in seconds, on every surface in the room
-
Schedule the turn from lunch to dinner, and from dinner to the bar
-
Publish the same card across several venues in a group
-
Build a template so the kitchen fills the menu and never touches the layout
05 · What changes
Daily reprinting disappears, and so does the obsolete menu. For a group running several venues, the same discipline applies everywhere without depending on who is on shift that evening.
