ONE WITH THE LOT

Pizza Capers’ Digital Menuboards

The Retail Food Group has been in operation for over 25 years and has developed nine diverse and successful food brands plus three wholesale coffee providers. As part of the Retail Food Group, Pizza Capers is a franchised pizza store with over 70 outlets in Australia. Since its inception in 1996, Pizza Capers has been bringing a fresh, tasty pizza product to a competitive market. The Pizza Capers difference is in the customer experience as opposed to the ongoing price war that was existent between its two main competitors.

MOVING TO DIGITAL

Pizza Capers’ aesthetic was well developed, with its uncomplicated yet stylish store design. However, with the growing integration of digital trends into quick service and dine-in restaurants, they felt the need to implement more progressive technologies to ensure their customers were enjoying the best in-store experience. They were looking to take their traditional menus and develop them to be more visually engaging digital platform.

THE SOLUTION

CV Media and Design was able to deliver a complete digital solution for the upgrade of the Pizza Capers menu boards, including the development of new art works and animation. Taking into consideration each store has different store specifications; the team delivered three trial stores, testing the functionality of the signs, the Appspace software platform and the artwork within the different spaces. The technology allows all of the signs to sync and alternate through traditional menu content, animations and displays of new products and special offers. Through a cloud-based content management system, the content can be easily updated in real time and in accordance with the store to store requirements for their offers. The solution links three Philips 43-inch full HD Q-Line screens to display all of the specially designed content.

TOPPINGS
