WeADS offers an easy-to-use, cloud-based software solution for restaurants, cafés, hotels, retail stores, and other businesses using WeADS tabletop digital signage.
Unlike the free ADSV CMS used mainly for advertising content management, WeADS CMS is an optional paid software service designed for advanced functions such as digital menu display, food ordering, printer integration, call waiter service, device management, advertising management, and data statistics.
The WeADS CMS software fee is:
USD $20 per device — one-time payment, lifetime use.
There is no monthly subscription fee and no annual software fee.
This guide explains how WeADS CMS works and how businesses can use its main functions.

It can be used to manage:
-
Digital menu display

Food ordering

WeADS Has Two Different CMS Backends
WeADS provides two different CMS platforms for different purposes.
1. WeADS CMS Backstage
Website: www.cloud-weads.com
The WeADS CMS Backstage is mainly used by the WeADS software administrator, distributor, or business operator to manage:
-
Cooperative venues
-
Devices
-
Advertising
-
Call service
-
Venue settings
-
User permissions
-
Data statistics
-
Device status
-
Advertising approval
This is the main management platform for businesses managing multiple venues or devices.
2. Venue CMS Backstage
Website: store.cloud-weads.com
The Venue CMS is designed for individual cooperative venues such as restaurants, cafés, and hotels.
Venues can use this platform to manage:
-
Dishes and menus
-
Digital menu display
-
Food ordering
-
Order printing
-
Promotions
-
Order management
-
Advertising content
-
Order QR codes
Each venue can log in using its own account and password.
How the Two CMS Platforms Work Together
The two CMS platforms have different responsibilities.
For example, if a restaurant wants to upload an advertisement:
Venue CMS
→ Upload advertising content
↓
WeADS CMS
→ Review and approve the advertisement
↓
Digital Signage Device
→ Display the approved content
This approval workflow gives the main WeADS CMS administrator control over what advertising content can be displayed on cooperative venues' devices.
How to Review and Approve Venue Advertising
If a cooperative venue uploads advertising content through the Venue CMS, the content can be reviewed before it appears on the digital signage.
Step 1: Upload Advertising Content
The venue can upload:
-
Up to 1 video, or
-
Up to 9 images at a time
through the Venue CMS.
Step 2: Create an Advertisement
The venue can create an advertisement using previously uploaded content or upload new content from a computer.
You can:
-
Select uploaded content
-
Adjust the display order
-
Set the display date and time
-
Select different venues
-
Save the advertisement
-
Publish directly
Step 3: Review and Publish
If the venue selects “Save Only”, the advertisement will remain pending.
The WeADS CMS administrator can then open the advertising review section and click “Review” to approve it.
Once approved, the advertisement can be displayed on the selected devices.
After publishing, the administrator can also:
-
Check advertisement details
-
Unshelve an advertisement
-
Delete an advertisement
Managing Cooperative Venues
WeADS CMS makes it easier to manage multiple restaurants, cafés, hotels, or other cooperative venues.
Venue Information
You can add and modify venue information directly from the CMS.
When devices are assigned to a venue, you can also see how many devices belong to that venue.
This is especially useful for businesses operating digital signage across multiple locations.
Venue Settings
The Settings section allows you to configure different functions for each venue.
You can configure:
1. Advertising Content Volume
Set the amount of advertising content displayed on the devices.
2. Button Display Time
If the venue uses functions such as food ordering or waiter calling, you can configure when these buttons should be displayed or hidden.
3. Motion Sensor
For devices equipped with a motion sensor, you can enable or disable the sensor function.
4. Automatic Power On/Off
Set the automatic power-on and power-off schedule for devices.
This can help businesses reduce unnecessary power consumption outside operating hours.
Enable Functions for Each Venue
Different venues may need different functions.
Through WeADS CMS, you can select which functions each venue can use.
For example:
-
Food ordering
-
Call waiter
-
Advertising
-
Digital menu
-
Other available services
This allows you to customize the software according to each venue's business requirements.
Customize Ordering and Call Service Buttons
You can customize the buttons displayed on the tabletop digital signage.
For example, a restaurant may display:
Order Food
Call Waiter
Request Service
You can also customize the content and options available for the call service.
This makes the interface more suitable for different restaurants and business scenarios.
Adding a New Venue
To add a cooperative venue:
-
Open the Venue Management section.
-
Click “Add Venue”.
-
Enter the venue information.
-
Save the venue.
-
Assign the appropriate devices to the venue.
Once the devices have been assigned, you can view the device quantity associated with that venue.
Device Management
WeADS CMS also provides centralized device management.
Device Registration
All devices can be registered in the CMS.
You can search for a device using its MAC Address.
If you have many devices and venues, there are two convenient ways to assign them.
Method 1: Use an Excel File
Use the MAC address Excel file to organize and assign different devices to different venues.
Method 2: Bind Devices Manually
Copy the device's MAC address into the system, find the device, and select:
-
Venue
-
Table Number
-
Language
You can also set the software validity period.
Depending on the software configuration, the validity can be set to one year or lifetime use.
Some system information marked with a red star cannot be modified.
Monitor Your Devices
The Monitor section allows you to check devices that have already been assigned to venues.
You can check:
-
Battery level
-
Online / Offline status
-
Wi-Fi connection status
-
Device information
If a device needs to be assigned to another venue:
Unbind the device
→ Return to Registration
→ Bind it to the new venue.
This makes it easy to reorganize devices when a business has multiple locations.
Data Statistics
WeADS CMS can also provide useful data statistics.
You can check advertising performance, including:
-
Advertising display date
-
Advertising status
-
Venue quantity
-
Play times
-
Click times
-
Tablet/device quantity
You can click the venue quantity to view more detailed information.
Data can also be exported according to your requirements.
This can help businesses understand how their digital signage is being used and how advertising content is performing.
System Management
Permission Settings
If several employees need to manage the system, you can create different employee accounts and assign different permissions.
This allows different employees to manage different parts of the system according to their responsibilities.
For example:
-
Advertising management
-
Device management
-
Venue management
-
Data statistics
-
System settings
User Management
WeADS CMS is also suitable for businesses managing venues across different cities or customers.
For Multiple Venues
If you manage many cooperative venues in different cities, you can create different users for each city.
Each user can manage the assigned cooperative venues.
For Different Customers
If you sell WeADS devices to different customers, you can create separate user accounts for them.
Each customer can use their own account to manage their assigned devices.
Venue CMS: Digital Menu & Food Ordering
The Venue CMS is designed for restaurants, cafés, hotels, and other venues that want to use tabletop digital signage for digital menus and food ordering.
Each venue can log in using its own:
Venue CMS Link + Account + Password
The venue can then manage its menu and ordering functions.
Dish Management
Restaurants can manage their menu directly from the Venue CMS.
You can:
Add Dish Categories
Create categories such as:
-
Appetizers
-
Main Courses
-
Desserts
-
Drinks
-
Specials
Add Dish Details
Add information for each dish, including the relevant menu content.
Set Promotions
Create promotional information for selected dishes.
Dish Statistics
Check:
-
Dish status
-
Sold quantity
-
Sales amount
This gives restaurants a simple way to manage and monitor their digital menu.
Order Management & Printer Integration
If a restaurant uses the food ordering function, the system can work together with a WeADS printer.
The ordering workflow is:
Customer selects food
→ Order is submitted
→ Order is sent to the printer
→ Restaurant receives the printed order
The Venue CMS also allows restaurants to check individual printed order details.
Important
The food ordering and printing function requires the WeADS ordering software and compatible WeADS printer.
The WeADS ordering software costs:
USD $20 per device
One-time payment — Lifetime use
There is no recurring monthly or annual software fee.
The WeADS printer is available separately.
QR Code Ordering
Restaurants can also use QR code ordering.
In the Venue Configuration section, the venue can:
-
Select the ordering method.
-
Configure the monetary unit.
-
Set the payment QR code.
-
Upload the ordering QR code.
-
Configure the printer if required.
Customers can scan the QR code displayed on the device to access the restaurant's ordering system.
Advertising Management for Venues
The Venue CMS also includes an advertising management section.
The workflow is simple:
Venue CMS
→ Upload Advertisement
↓
WeADS CMS
→ Review & Approve
↓
Digital Signage Device
→ Display Advertisement
This allows venues to manage their own advertising content while giving the main administrator control over what is approved for display.
Two Ways to Use the Call Waiter Function
WeADS provides two different solutions for waiter call service.
Option 1: Call Waiter with a Smart Watch
Customers can press the service button on the tabletop digital signage.
The workflow is:
Customer at Table
→ Clicks Call Service
→ Message is sent to the waiter's watch
→ Waiter receives the notification
→ Waiter responds to the request
→ Waiter goes to the customer's table
This solution is useful for restaurants that want waiters to receive service requests while moving around the venue.
Option 2: Call Waiter with a Counter Device
If restaurant staff do not want to wear a watch, another option is to install the call service APK on a device located at the counter.
The workflow is:
Customer at Table
→ Clicks Call Service
→ Message is sent to the counter device
→ Counter staff see the table number
→ Staff inform the waiter
→ Waiter serves the customer
→ Staff can click the message to confirm the request
This provides an alternative solution for restaurants that prefer a centralized service station.
