Chef's special cloche
A 'chef's special' reveal: the silver cloche slid off the plate to show the brand's own photo of the dish, on a dark ground, with the dish in a large serif, the chef's own words and the price — a special presented as the moment it arrives at the table.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Chef's special cloche for posts that announce news or get people to act, when the message is one product in the spotlight, one sharp insight or a quote. It is built first to announce news.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Made for Food & drink. The Director offers it only to brands of that kind, so it never turns up for a business it does not suit.

What it needs
The Director offers it only when these exist. Without them it simply picks another template.
- One of your own photos
The sample shows the template’s own stand-in where the picture goes.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- The dish, the chef's words (verbatim), the chef's name and the price all come from the post.
- The photo is the brand's own photo of this dish; never describe flavours the post does not.
Visual rules
- A white plate holding the brand's photo of the dish, a polished silver cloche slid off one side, on a dark brand ground with a soft spotlight.
- The dish name in a large serif with a kicker rule above, the chef's words in italic quotes and the price in the same serif.
