  2. Customizing visual elements like background images, font size, and colors to match branding
  3. Choosing display templates (two-column or three-column layouts) to optimize readability
  4. Optionally showing queue numbers or order IDs for easy tracking
  5. Presenting a clean, engaging interface that enhances customer experience without exposing backend kitchen details
