/EINPresswire.com/ -- LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - March 28, 2017) - Digital Signage Expo 2017-- DT Research, the leading designer and manufacturer of purpose-built computing solutions for vertical markets, and Hilton Digital, a Hilton Displays company, today announced a Digital Menu Board (DMB) solution that eases compliance with the upcoming U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Menu Labeling Act by enabling centralized publishing of menu content and nutritional information that can be scheduled and displayed instantly at multiple locations.

The Digital Menu Board solution will be showcased in the DT Research Booth 348 at the Digital Signage Expo 2017 in Las Vegas from March 28-31.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Menu Labeling Requirement Act set to go into effect on May 5, 2017 requires any food service operation with 20 or more locations to have calorie counts and other nutritional information included in their menus. As restaurants and other food service establishments prepare to comply with the new requirement, the DT Research -- Hilton Digital DMB solution streamlines menu item changes through content management software that is integrated with the store system.

"We strive to design rugged and secure multi-output media players that continue to meet the evolving needs of quick service and fast casual restaurants," said Daw Tsai Sc.D., president of DT Research. "Our solution simplifies the processes necessary to comply with the upcoming FDA Menu Labeling requirement, while simultaneously giving businesses the ability to engage with their customers through timed specials and local promotions displayed on dynamic high-definition screens."

The DT Research -- Hilton Digital DMB solution enables restaurants, concession venues and other QSR and fast casual establishments to easily publish updated menu board items, nutritional information, images and videos consistently across all locations, while having the flexibility to display localized or seasonal promotions on a panel or zone of the multi-screen display.

"Beyond helping restaurants adhere to the new FDA requirement, our turnkey Digital Menu Boards offer a powerful way to enhance customer experience and track sales uplift through integration with store systems," said Andy Fischer, General Manager at Hilton Digital. "We've seen many restaurants quickly realize a ROI, while providing their guests a vastly improved customer experience, and dramatically reducing print costs."
