THE GUIDE

Dispensary digital signage, explained

What the screens in a dispensary do, how they stay accurate, what they run on, and what to check before you buy. Written by the team that runs 6,500+ of them.

See It with Your Menu

Dispensary digital signage is the set of screens inside a cannabis store that show the menu, promote products, and move the line: TV menus, self-service kiosks, queue boards, and promo screens. The good ones read from the store's point of sale, so prices, products, stock status, and specials update themselves. Seed runs 6,500+ screens in 950+ dispensary storefronts across 36+ U.S. markets.

FOUR SCREENS, FOUR JOBS

What runs on the walls of a dispensary

TV menus

The menu wall behind the counter and in the showroom. Reads products, prices, stock status, and specials from the POS, so it is right without anyone retyping it.

Self-service kiosks

A tablet where shoppers browse the live menu and build their own order. White-label, on the same POS feed as the TVs. Checkout asks for a first name, last name, and phone number.

Queue board

The line, on a TV: who is next and whose order is ready. Runs on the same screens as the menus, so nobody has to ask "am I next?"

Learn more →

Promo screens

Deals synced from the POS, plus campaigns you schedule ahead: product launches, holiday pushes, loyalty sign-ups, on any screen at any store.

THE PART THAT MATTERS

The menu is the POS, on a wall.

Signage that gets retyped is signage that gets wrong. Seed reads from your point of sale and re-checks in minutes, so the price on the wall is the price at the register and sold-out products leave the menu on their own. How POS sync works.

WHY SEED SIGNAGE

Six things that are different about Seed

Honest sync, in minutes

Menus re-check the POS about every ten minutes by default. We say the real number and never claim "real time," because the honest number is what keeps the wall matching the register.

Per location, not per screen

Unlimited screens, playlists, and users at every store. Adding a TV over the register does not add a line to the bill.

Design is included

A design team comes with the software, 151,000+ media files are already in the platform, and Canva connects straight to the media library. Your team can edit everything after.

Campaigns, scheduled ahead

Launches, holiday pushes, and loyalty drives are scheduled weeks out, per store and per zone, and go live on a toggle.

Ordinary hardware

Any TV with an HDMI port, an Amazon Signage Stick (code SEEDSAMZN takes 10% off), an Apple TV 4K, or Android TV through Google Play. No proprietary boxes to lease.

Screens that generate credits

Participating screens can run in-stock cannabis brand campaigns through the Seed Retail Media Network. You control which screens participate, and participation generates credits against your subscription.

HARDWARE

Ordinary screens. No proprietary boxes.

Any TV with an HDMI port, running an Amazon Signage Stick (code SEEDSAMZN takes 10% off) or an Apple TV 4K. Kiosks run on Elo touchscreens or iPads from 2018 on. Buy your own from the compatible hardware list, or read the TV buying guide first.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Six things to check on any signage vendor

  1. Reads your POS, by name. Ask which systems it connects to. Seed reads from Dutchie, Treez, BLAZE, Flowhub, COVA, Meadow, Weave, and more. A menu tool that cannot read your point of sale is a slideshow.
  2. An honest sync time. Vendors say "real time." Ask for the number. Seed syncs in minutes, about ten by default, and sold-out items drop off on their own.
  3. Per-location pricing. Per-screen billing looks cheap at one TV and gets expensive at six. Seed prices per location with unlimited screens, playlists, and users.
  4. Design included. A screen is only as good as its layout. Seed includes a design team with the software and your team can edit everything after.
  5. One login for every store. Org-wide channels with per-store overrides, so a promo goes to all locations in one move and a new store clones an existing one.
  6. Ordinary hardware. Any TV with an HDMI port, an Amazon Signage Stick or Apple TV 4K, and Elo touchscreens or iPads for kiosks. No proprietary boxes.

The longer version, with the eight questions to ask on a sales call, is in choosing dispensary menu software.

Digital signage questions, answered

What is dispensary digital signage?
The screens inside a cannabis store that show the menu, promote products, and move the line: TV menus, self-service kiosks, queue boards, and promo screens. The good ones read from the store's point of sale, so prices, products, stock status, and specials update themselves instead of being retyped.

How do digital menus stay accurate?
By reading from the POS. Seed connects to Dutchie, Treez, BLAZE, Flowhub, COVA, and more, and re-checks in minutes (about ten by default). Change a price at the register and every screen follows; when the last unit sells, the product leaves the menu on its own.

Do I need special TVs for dispensary digital signage?
No. Seed runs on any TV with an HDMI port. Most stores use the Amazon Signage Stick (code SEEDSAMZN takes 10% off) or an Apple TV 4K. Kiosks run on Elo touchscreens or iPads from 2018 on. The full list is on the hardware page, and the TV buying guide covers screen sizes and panels.

How much does dispensary digital signage cost?
The model matters more than the sticker. Seed prices per location, with unlimited screens, playlists, and users, and design included, so adding a screen does not add a bill. There is no public rate card; book a demo for a quote, and read how the model works on the pricing page.

Can the same screens run brand ads?
Yes. The Seed Retail Media Network puts cannabis brand campaigns on participating dispensary screens. Ads only show brands the store carries and has in stock, you control which screens participate, and participation generates credits that apply against the store's Seed subscription.

How is cannabis digital signage different from restaurant menu boards?
Turnover and compliance. A dispensary menu changes daily as products sell out and prices move, and the price on the wall has to match the register. Restaurant boards are built for a menu that changes twice a year. Cannabis-specific signage reads the POS and handles product data like THC% from lab results; generic boards make someone retype it.

How long does it take to go live?
Most stores go from signed to screens live in about a week: POS hookup, menu design, and hardware. Adding a location later is faster, because the new store clones an existing one.
