Sunlight-readable outdoor displays, built for drive-thru speed and all-weather uptime.
Outdoor QSR technology has one job: stay readable, responsive, and reliable when the rush hits, whether it’s blazing sun, summer heat, winter cold, or constant drive-thru traffic. Tech Global delivers high-brightness outdoor displays and commercial-grade touchscreen solutions engineered for drive-thru menu boards, outdoor ordering kiosks, pickup lanes, and patio signage.
Built for outdoor QSR conditions and throughput
Outdoor QSR environments combine the hardest challenges in digital display: direct sunlight, heat buildup, weather exposure, and physical risk. Tech Global focuses on the engineering that matters: sunlight readability, thermal resilience, rugged protection, and long-life operation.

Added weather and impact protection for outdoor public-facing use. - LED long-life backlight technology
Lower maintenance and cooler running versus CCFL-based alternatives. - HID-compliant touch
Faster deployment with reduced driver-install friction in many POS/kiosk setups.
Built for outdoor QSR realities (not ideal conditions)
- Direct sunlight and glare that washes out standard screens.
- Heat buildup in sun-facing enclosures and install points.
- Weather exposure from rain, dust, and wind-driven moisture.
- Physical impact risk in public-facing installations.
- Constant uptime demands during meal rushes and late-night service.

Outdoor engineering that keeps QSR screens working
Sunlight readability that sells more, faster: when customers can’t read the menu quickly, orders slow down.
- Outdoor-focused display technologies preserve clarity and decision speed with 4,000 nits+ brightness, RGBW options, IR/UV blocking films, and high clearing-temp LC.
- Weather + impact protection options including IP66 and IK10 configurations.
- LED long-life backlighting can cut replacement and cooling burdens versus CCFL, depending on model.
- Lower downtime across high-use, multi-location outdoor deployments.
Designed for scalability across locations
Sunlight readability and decision speed
Very highGeneric outdoor displays can fade in direct sun, slowing menu scanning and reducing conversion during peak volumes.
High-brightness, sunlight-oriented systems prioritize glanceable layouts that keep menus readable in glare.
Clear menus and pricing stay visible in bright noon conditions.
Thermal resilience and long-life operation
CriticalStandard LCD stacks can show heat-related drift or blackening in exposed sun-facing installs.
High clearing-temperature LC and thermal planning reduce heat stress and maintain color stability.
Protection and enclosure strategy extend uptime through long heat and sun exposure.
Weather and impact protection
MaximumPublic-facing outdoor setups are exposed to rain, dust, wind and handling risk.
IP-rated enclosures and IK10 safety options improve resilience against weather and physical contact.
Longer lane uptime in harsh exterior environments.
Queue throughput and interaction flow
Very highMisaligned visuals can slow menu decisions and increase handoff friction at lane transitions.
Flow-aligned menu, confirmation, and route behavior reduce queue hesitation and errors.
Sharper handoff and confirmation experiences across drive-thru touchpoints.
Scalable rollout and content consistency
HighMulti-site teams often struggle with inconsistent brightness, sizing, and campaign cadence.
Standardized spec planning supports predictable multi-location deployment and updates.
Consistent experience across locations and meal periods.
Outdoor menu boards and kiosks are mission-critical revenue surfaces
We engineer for stable performance under sunlight, heat, weather, and heavy usage.
- Configuration repeatability for consistent multi-store results.
- Lifecycle planning and change-control support for rollout stability.
- Fast deployment features, including HID-compliant touch, reduce install complexity.
- Integration-ready planning for enclosures, cable routing, and kiosk interfaces.
QSR requirements, answered
Select configurations include 4,000 nits+ brightness, RGB/RGBW technologies, and IR/UV blocking films to keep menus vivid and readable in direct sun.
For sun-exposed installs, options like 110°C high clearing-temp liquid crystal can help reduce heat-related LCD blackening. Thermal and enclosure strategies vary by build.
Depending on the solution, we support IP66-rated enclosure options and IK10 safety glass options for harsh weather and public-facing impact risk.
Many configurations support HID-compliant touch, enabling fast deployment without driver installation in many setups, reducing rollout time and complexity.
Yes. We offer a wide range of display sizes and integration-friendly options for different drive-thru layouts, kiosk footprints, and signage zones.
