A bowl a day
The week's soup of the day (or dal, or daily special) as a row of bowls seen from above on a gingham cloth: every bowl wears its day on a brand-colour tag and its dish's name under it. A daily rotation, a weekly lunch rota or a soup calendar.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the A bowl a day for posts that announce news or get people to act, when the message is several products or a menu, a list or a timeline. 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
- Every day and dish comes from the post, in its order; never fill a day the post leaves out.
Visual rules
- A white-and-brand gingham tablecloth; one white bowl per day seen from above, a thin brand-colour rim and the soup in a palette colour with a drawn garnish (a cream swirl, croutons or an oil drizzle).
- A brand-colour day tag above each bowl and the dish in serif under it; the grid sized so the bowls are as big as the frame allows.
