Quick-service restaurants in the DOOH ecosystem

Quick-service restaurant DOOH is a high-frequency, brief-dwell category, average customer dwell is 5–15 minutes but visit frequency for QSR is among the highest of any food category (2–4 visits per week for the average customer). The audience archetype skews toward family_unit during weekend mornings and commuters during weekday morning and lunch peaks; buyers in food delivery (notably, cross-category competitive demand), beverage, consumer goods, and entertainment see consistent measured lift in this category.


How the buy executes at quick-service restaurants

Each screen runs the Trillboards kiosk app on an open OpenRTB 2.6 connection to our SSP. Roughly every 30 seconds, the device fires an ad request carrying the IAB DOOH inventory descriptor, venue category, location, screen format, plus the live audience measurements from the on-device CV pipeline.

Demand-side platforms bid in under 100 ms. The winning creative ships back, plays in the device's native VAST player, and confirms playback with a signed proof-of-play receipt. Those receipts reconcile daily against partner-reported numbers, which is the record we bill against.

We serve first-party and third-party VAST, OMID viewability where the creative declares it, and device-signed proof of play, meeting the OAAA measurement standards and the IAB DOOH 1.0 specification. Buyers on our OpenRTB endpoint target quick-service restaurants through the IAB Audience Taxonomy and the Trillboards segtax=600 namespace, and receive no per-screen identifiers in the bid request.


If you own the venue

QSR operators host Trillboards screens at order counters and waiting areas. The screens auto-rotate creatives matched to family-friendly demand and serve venue-specific menu specials when programmatic demand is unfilled.
