Computers: Hardware / in a document about Junkfood
German term or phrase: Tastatur eingespielt
Restaurants die ab nächster Woche auf [name of burger] umstellen oder schon umgestellt sind, werden seitens [name of Technical Support Dept.] von Mittwoch auf Donnerstag eine neue ***Tastatur eingespielt*** bekommen.

[This is, I guess, remembering from back when I used to live less healthily, a device used at the counter to select junkfood item/menu sold to customer by tapping on an image and/or short text item].

English translation:keyboard uploaded / re-programmed
Explanation:
This is obviously in reference to the vendor's point of sale system, most of which these days work with virtual keyboards on a touchscreen. Corporate tech support can upload any changes (such as the above-mentioned exciting new burger, pricing, sales tax, etc.) by remote.
