How a 2.5 m Transparent LED Turbo‑Charged a Riyadh Burger Joint

When Groundr opened its flagship on Anas Bin Malik Road, Al Yasmin, foot traffic was solid — but not sizzling. Surrounded by neon‑lit cafés and dessert bars, the storefront’s classic glass façade blended into the background. Flyers and roll‑ups blocked the view of its open‑kitchen grill, and daytime posters faded fast in Riyadh’s 45 °C summer glare. We proposed a different approach: install a 2.5 m‑wide transparent LED directly on the restaurant’s front glass. The result? A mouth‑watering 18 % jump in revenue and 27 extra diners every day—all within the first month.

The Challenge

  • Busy street but fierce competition from 17 eateries within a 300 m radius.

  • Average daily dine‑ins: 148 customers.

  • 42 % of passers‑by couldn’t see the signature “live smash” grill through posters and menu boards.

  • Traditional light‑boxes added heat—and higher utility bills.

“People film the screen, walk in, and order the ‘Triple‑Stack’ they just saw looping. The LED basically sells for us.”
Sultan Al‑Qahtani, General Manager

Crunching the ROI

  • Total project cost: 74 000 SAR (panel, install, 24‑month service)

  • Incremental gross profit: ~18 % lift → 74 000 SAR in 4.1 months

  • Breakeven: < 5 months

  • 3‑year ROI: 710 %

And because the screen dims automatically at 1 a.m., the restaurant’s electricity bill rose by only 4 %.

Why Transparent LED Is Perfect for QSRs in Riyadh

  1. Sizzles Under Sunlight – 7 000 nits outshines Riyadh’s desert noon, so promos stay vivid.

  2. Doesn’t Hide the Action – 75 % transparency keeps that live‑flame theatre visible.

  3. Swap Content in Seconds – Launch a limited‑time burger or match a football match score in real time.

  4. Keeps the Store Cool – LED glass dissipates less heat than back‑lit vinyl light‑boxes.

  5. Built for Fast Ops – Lightweight aluminum frame needs no façade overhaul; close for lunch, reopen for dinner.
