Middelfart Municipality: Digital buffet provides an overview in seconds

In the canteen at Middelfart Municipality, lunch has become even easier to navigate. Digital buffet signs now give employees a quick overview of the menu, allergens, and dietary considerations — directly at the buffet.

In many canteens, the daily menu can feel like a small logistical project when it comes to information about the day’s selection and special dietary needs. Handwritten signs are often made, and you can only hope that everything is correct when the lunchtime rush hits.

At Middelfart Municipality, lunch is also a regular gathering point for the employees. Around 130 employees meet in the canteen every day, where they can enjoy a varied selection of dishes. With digital buffet signs, employees receive clear information about the menu, allergens, and dietary considerations directly at the buffet.

Clear information – fewer questions

The digital buffet signs display the day’s dishes, ingredients, allergens, and dietary preferences in a clear and easy-to-read format. This makes it simple for employees to choose quickly — especially those with specific dietary needs — and helps create a calmer and smoother lunch experience.

For the canteen staff, the solution means less administration and fewer manual tasks. Changes are updated automatically and wirelessly. This minimizes errors and saves time — even when the menu is adjusted at the last minute.

Less maintenance – more service

When information is added or updated, the signs are refreshed automatically and wirelessly, so changes take effect immediately without anyone having to replace paper or handwritten labels.

This ensures more consistent communication, and it becomes easier to keep the information up to date — even on days with changes, extra dishes, or adjustments to ingredients.

Digital buffet signs are gaining ground

The solution at Middelfart Municipality is delivered by Delfi Technologies, which provides signage solutions for buffet environments with a focus on precise and visible communication.

The signs are available in several sizes — from very small, discreet units just a few centimeters wide to larger formats like A4, when the message needs to be visible from a distance or contain more detailed content. This provides flexibility whether it’s for smaller serving areas or large buffet setups.

The demand for digital buffet signs has increased significantly in recent years — especially in restaurants, hotels, conference centers, and corporate canteens, where menus change from day to day and accurate allergen information is essential.

The effect is noticeable: updates happen instantly, the level of service improves, and communication becomes consistent — without paper.
