Digital buffet signs create clarity in the cafeteria at FGU Midtjylland
FGU Midtjylland has implemented digital buffet signs from Delfi Technologies, providing a clear overview of the day’s menu with food symbols such as fish, poultry, and beef. These symbols make it easy – even for individuals with dyslexia – to understand the menu at a glance.
FGU Midtjylland represents the education of the future for young people, offering new opportunities and a solid foundation for creating a meaningful future. The school emphasizes well-being, collaboration, and a strong connection to the labor market, equipping students with the necessary tools to shape their future.
At the Food & Nutrition program in Silkeborg, students learn to prepare diverse and sustainable meals for the school cafeteria. With the help of Delfi Technologies’ digital buffet signs, the food is presented in a simple and accessible way, making it easy for both students and staff to navigate the menu. The food symbols, including fish, poultry, and beef, make it straightforward to understand the dishes.
"The digital buffet signs with icons like fish, poultry, and beef make a huge difference for our students and staff. They make it easier for our dyslexic and bilingual students and contribute to an inclusive cafeteria experience where everyone feels welcome and confident in their food choices."
More than just a menu sign
The digital buffet signs ensure that both students and staff receive the necessary information about the dishes. In addition to the food symbols, other relevant details about the daily menu are displayed, allowing everyone to confidently choose their meals. The solution is flexible, enabling real-time updates to the menu, making it easy for students in Food & Nutrition to adjust the signs to match the meals they prepare.

A learning opportunity for students
For students in the Food & Nutrition program, the digital buffet signs are also part of their learning experience. They work on planning, preparing, and presenting the food in the cafeteria, and the signs help them understand how to communicate professionally about food and meals. Students also learn to think in terms of solutions that make food more accessible to everyone – an essential focus in modern cafeteria operations.
Most of the food is prepared from scratch using fresh ingredients, with a strong emphasis on health, good taste, organic options, and sustainability. Hygiene and minimizing food waste are also vital parts of the school’s mission. Therefore, students learn how to optimize the use of ingredients.
By using digital buffet signs, the school also avoids unnecessary paper waste while gaining a flexible and future-proof solution tailored to the school’s needs.
Food for everyone – created by students
At FGU Midtjylland, it’s not just about preparing food but also about creating a holistic experience where food quality and accessibility go hand in hand. The digital signs from Delfi Technologies are a key tool in this effort, ensuring the cafeteria is a place where everyone – regardless of their background—can enjoy a positive experience.
