US Install Partner Program

You already drive to
these restaurants.
Get paid for
their screens.

Every menu board in the places you already wire is a drop you're not billing for. Decker supplies the player, the controller and the platform. You do what you already do — mount it, plug it in, invoice it. Then it keeps paying you for as long as it stays on the wall.

Who the customer is

One location or twenty.
Nobody's job is
the menu board.

Pizza, boba, coffee, taco — the operators already on your route, the ones who call you when a camera drops. A single storefront or a regional chain, it makes no difference: the screens are on the wall and nobody owns them. Last summer's prices are still up there because fixing it isn't anyone's job.

You don't have to teach them digital signage. You have to notice the screen.

01
You're already on site
No cold calls, no new territory. The accounts are the ones in your truck's route today.
02
They trust you, not a vendor
An operator who has used you for ten years takes your word on it. That trust is the part Decker can't buy — so we don't try. You keep the account.
03
One visit, four screens
A typical restaurant runs 4 boards. That's $918 of hardware, labor and menu work on a single truck roll.
04
Then it keeps paying
25% of the subscription keeps landing for as long as the location stays live. You mounted it once.

Hardware margin and labor are billed by you, to the operator, at completion. Menu design is billed by you at $199 per screen — each board is laid out individually — and half of that is yours. Recurring share is 25% of $15 per screen per month, paid by Decker for as long as the location keeps paying.

Recurring revenue

Install work pays once.
This keeps paying.

A project shop starts every January at zero. The backlog resets, and you go win the work again. Recurring doesn't reset — every location you commission adds to a base that pays in the months the phone doesn't ring.

Your recurring income per month, and per year, at the end of each year
End yr 1
End yr 2
End yr 3
End yr 4
End yr 5

Top figure is per month, the one under it is that same base over a year. By the end of year five it's $3,542 a month from screens you already installed. Assumes five restaurants a month (roughly one a week), 4 screens each, and that 88% of locations stay on year to year. Across those five years the recurring has paid out $117,000 in total, and the same 300 installs billed about $275,000 in hardware, labor and menu work up front.

It stacks instead of resetting
Year two isn't you replacing year one — it's year one still paying while you add to it. The base only moves in one direction as long as the screens stay on the wall.
It carries you through slow quarters
Restaurant capex freezes. Projects slip a month, then two. The recurring base doesn't care what your pipeline looks like in February.
It's what makes the shop worth something
When an owner sells a low-voltage business, buyers pay a multiple on recurring contracts. Nobody pays a multiple for last year's installs. This is the line on your P&L that turns a job into an asset.
The point
Same work, same route. It just doesn't stop paying when you drive away.

Shops that started with one restaurant on their route

Nobody here changed what their business does. They added a line to jobs they were already driving to — and the base underneath kept growing while they did.

"Two years ago every January started at zero. Now there's twenty grand a year sitting under the business before I bid a single job. My accountant noticed before I did."

These three shops are illustrative examples, not real partners. The names, quotes and figures show what the arithmetic looks like at three different paces — 4 screens per location, 25% of the $15 per screen subscription, 88% of locations staying on year to year. They will be replaced with real partners, with permission, before this page runs.

What you install

Two boxes behind the screen, and the platform they run on.

The hardware ships configured and is managed remotely after you leave — a four-screen location is a single visit. The software is ours to build and support; you never host, license or patch anything.

Decker

Runs in a browser, nothing to install. The operator builds boards from presets, schedules promos by daypart, and sees every screen across every location — live, dark, and when playback was last confirmed. You get the same login to set a location up and to check on it later.

The question you'll get asked

Why restaurant owners pay for this on a subscription

Because it lifts the average check, and it does the thinking that used to fall on the owner. Both of those are work that happens every day.

Same guest, better order
They came in for a taco. They see the birria plate first.
Bigger ticket
Three for $11.88 beats one at $4.29 — if they see it in time.
Chosen for them
The platform reads the POS and proposes what to run. They approve it, or they don't.
+30%on the promoted item
Nobody reads a wall of sixty-odd items. They scan, give up, and order what they ordered last time. Give one dish a screen to itself and make it look like dinner — steam still rising, sauce catching the light, close enough to want. Text on a board asks a guest to work. A dish that looks that good asks them to point at it.
What a campaign looks like
Taqueria · 4 locations
+31%
Birria plate on the promo screen for six weeks. Highest-margin dish on the menu, previously buried under Plates.
Coffee chain · 7 locations
+24%
Large size promoted 7–10am only. Same drink, better cup size — no discount involved.
Boba · 3 locations
+18%
Two new toppings given their own screen at launch. Neither had sold before when listed on the main board.

The three cases above are worked examples, not measured campaigns. They describe the kind of move a promo screen makes — one dish, one daypart, one launch — at percentages in the range operators talk about. Real campaign data replaces them before this page runs.

0.5%
A restaurant doing a hundred orders a day serves three thousand a month. Fifteen is half of one percent. Everything past that is margin they weren't getting.

Lift is measured per campaign against the weeks before it ran — not a total-sales claim, and every menu behaves differently. The break-even above is arithmetic on the price; the $4 is a placeholder. Point being: the bar sits well under what a promoted item typically moves.

Why they say yes to it
It lifts the average check, and the owner never has to work out how. The POS already knows what carries margin and what sells alongside it — the platform picks the item, the hour and the pairing on its own, and the owner just says yes or no. No briefing a designer, no guessing at a special.
What that looks like at the counter

Four boards list what you sell.
The fifth one sells it.

Here's a five-screen counter in a taqueria. The first four are the menu — tacos, plates, sides, drinks. The fifth is the only one doing sales work — it's the last thing a customer looks at while deciding, and it changes itself through the week.

Same food. Same screens.
Different job.

Reference. 69 items, priced straight from the POS. A customer scans them once, finds what they came for, and looks away.
That one
The sales channel. One item at a time, chosen for margin and for the hour — and the platform records what the order mix did during each window.
The four states on the right are all the same physical screen. Nobody walks over and changes it, and nothing here is new for the restaurant — same food, screens they already own. What changed is which item is in front of a customer at the moment they decide.

Why it isn't a $30 media player

A USB stick plays a file.
This one moves product.

Any operator can push a thumb drive into the back of a TV and loop a menu. Plenty have. What they get is a slideshow — and no idea whether the combo they're pushing sold a single extra combo.

Everything above runs on two boxes behind the screen. Prices come straight from the POS the restaurant already uses, promos change themselves on schedule, and the platform can show the right slide was on air on a screen that was actually powered. None of that proof exists unless someone mounted the hardware properly — which is the part that's yours.

Billing, built in

You don't write the invoice.
You fill in three fields.

Every partner gets a portal, and it does the paperwork itself. The invoice builds, the payment link goes out, the money lands — you fill in three fields and the rest runs on its own.

The short version

What you don't have to do

Everything below is ours to carry, which is why this doesn't need a bigger shop than the one you have.

Carry inventory
Hardware ships per job, after the operator signs. Nothing sits on your shelf.
Build or host anything
The platform is ours. No servers, no licenses, no version you have to maintain.
Run software support
Platform questions come to us. You own what you mounted; we own what runs on it.

Mount, power, network, confirm. Certification is a half day, most of it hands-on.
Deal protection

The accounts you bring in stay yours

The reason most integrators won't touch a vendor program is the fear of training a competitor into their own customer base. So this part is in writing, not in a handshake.

  • Register the account and it's locked to you — no Decker rep calls into it
  • Every new location that chain opens is your install
  • Your recurring share continues for the life of the account
  • No exclusivity demanded — keep every other line you sell
  • No annual quota, no minimum volume to stay active

Straight answers

What partners ask first

You close it yourself — that's the whole point of the arrangement, and it's why the money is what it is. But this doesn't look like selling. You're standing in a restaurant you've serviced for years, you point at a board still showing summer prices, and you say you can fix that. No cold calls, no pipeline, no proposal. We give you the pricing, the one-page leave-behind and a demo account; the relationship stays yours because it already was.

$15 per screen per month for the platform, plus the hardware and your labor once. A four-screen location is $60 a month. You bill the hardware and install directly; we bill the subscription and pay your share out of it.

Most of it never becomes a site visit — that's what the controller is for. Frozen player, TV that didn't wake up, wrong input: handled remotely. If hardware genuinely fails, we ship a replacement and you bill the operator for the swap. Platform questions come to us, not you.

Only in the sense of pressing send. Your partner portal builds it: address, screen count, which services you did — it prices off the rate card and produces an invoice with a payment link. You text the link to the owner. No accounting software, no template, and the money moves the same day.

No. Your hardware margin and labor are already billed and paid. The recurring share simply stops when they stop. There's no clawback on money you've earned.

No exclusivity. Most of our partners run several lines. We'd rather be the one you reach for in restaurants than the one you're contractually stuck with.

Size isn't the question. One person works, so does a crew of thirty. What matters is that you're in this trade and this conversation makes sense to you — you know what a drop costs, why a display goes dark, what a restaurant owner will and won't sit through. If you had to be taught that, the program wouldn't work. If you already know it, nothing else about your shop matters to us.

That's billable work, and it's yours if you want it. Each board is laid out individually at $199 a screen, and you keep half. The platform builds from presets, so it's a browser task rather than a design project. It's your invoice either way.
