KOT chits
Kitchen order chits hanging from the steel rail over the pass — each a 'kitchen order ticket' (KOT), one white chit per dish, the dish in bold mono capitals and the cook's note in handwriting — over a dark tiled kitchen wall, with the headline beneath. New dishes on the pass, the weekend's specials, what the kitchen is making today.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the KOT chits for posts that announce news or entertain, when the message is a list, several products or a menu or one product in the spotlight. 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
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
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 dishes, notes and timing come from the post; the tickets carry only a running number, never an invented table, count or price.
Visual rules
- A dark brand-tinted subway-tile wall; a chrome ticket rail across the top with white tickets hanging at small angles, zigzag-torn at the foot, each with a mono header and number, a dashed rule, the dish in mono capitals and a handwritten note.
- The headline in heavy type below (beside on landscape), the detail, then the logo.
