New on the menu
A 'new on the menu' insert paper-clipped onto the open menu: the brand's own photo of the new dish with a round 'new' sticker, then its name in italic serif, what is in it, the price and when it starts — the way a restaurant slips a new dish into the menu.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the New on the menu for posts that announce news or get people to act, when the message is one product in the spotlight or one sharp insight. 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.
Platforms and sizes
| Size | Where |
|---|---|
| 4:51080 × 1350 px | Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Reddit |
| 1:11080 × 1080 px | X, Ads |

| 2:31000 × 1500 px |
Single image. Each size is laid out for its canvas, not cropped; the sample above is the 4:5 version.
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, what is in it, its price and its start date come from the post; never describe a taste the post does not.
- The photo is the brand's own photo of the dish; the copy names that dish.
Visual rules
- An open menu page (lines only, no words) under a white insert card held by a paper clip, slightly tilted.
- The card carries the brand's photo of the dish with a round brand-colour sticker, then a kicker, the dish in italic serif, the description, and price and start date above a hairline.
