if it's just a menu board on the wall behind the counter, why tf not?

I'd love to get a job at one of these display board companies (or the local IT if they do it themselves), and tell them I can save them thousands.

A Pi Zero 2W, TFTP boot, you've saved masses of hardware cost and saved yourself a Windows licence.

Replicate that for all the displays over all the stores, done.
