What the board actually looks like

Boards are going into Arlington now. Until the first installs are photographed, the images below are renders of the real artwork — every one of them is labelled as such.

These are renders, not photographs of installed boards. The six advertisers shown are categories rather than real businesses, and every phone number on them is in the 555-01 range reserved for fiction. Nothing here is a customer or a testimonial.

Sample specials board seen at an angle: a black dry-erase panel with handwritten specials above six local business adverts. — The board

Standard 24" x 36". Writing area above, 6 advertiser slots below.

How it reads once a restaurant has written up the day's specials.

Mounting

Wall or floor

Both options are offered on every board, and the host chooses. Photographs of each in place will replace these renders as installs are completed.

Sample specials board mounted flat on a wall above the skirting board. — Wall mount — French cleat

A French cleat carries the board flat and level on the wall, near the host stand or just inside the door. Nothing on the floor, nothing to walk into.
Render — not an installed board

Sample specials board standing on a metal floor easel with a weighted ring around its base. — Floor easel — weighted base

An adjustable metal easel with roughly 30 lb of ballast fixed around the base for tip resistance. Move it where the queue forms; no holes in anyone's wall.

Where they go

The kind of room a board belongs in

Near the host stand, by the door, along the queue — anywhere people stand still for a minute with nothing to read.

Casual restaurant with chalkboard menus mounted above the counter.

Cafe counter beneath a large handwritten chalkboard menu.

Warm, busy restaurant interior with tan leather chairs and open kitchen.

Dark green cafe interior with communal tables and pendant lighting.

A small independent shopfront with bicycles parked outside.

A plated dish being set down on a busy restaurant table.

Stock photography — illustrative rooms, not host venues
