Cinema Scene delivered a digital menu board solution for Malco Theatres that included commercial-grade hardware, flexible content management software and revenue-generating digital menu board promotions. The Malco Theatres circuit-wide deployment, which included conversions of static signage and existing digital displays, spanned a five-month period and encompassed 32 locations.
Larry Etter, Senior Vice President at Malco Theatres says, "It is so refreshing to have an organization understand the premise of
Digital Menu Displays and the assets they can bring, not just in the images and creative art design but as a revenue stream as well. Working with Cinema Scene is enabling, it is simple and they understand the obligations of the business owner on multiple levels, distinct messaging, innovative processes and financial responsibility."
