    Pick a template type

    You'll see large cards for each template type. Each is best for a different job:

    Advertisement ๐Ÿ’ฒ — promotional graphic with price and call-to-action
    Reminder ๐Ÿ”” — day/time-sensitive notice ("Happy Hour 4–7 PM")
    Message ๐Ÿ’ฌ — long-form text post
    Social ๐Ÿ“ฒ — share-style block with handles or a QR code
    Menu ๐Ÿฝ — food/drink list with prices, photos, sides & drinks

Tips & Common Issues

  • Not sure which template? Announcement is the safest default for any short message.
  • Templates are visual presets — you can always change colors, fonts, and images after picking. They're a starting point, not a cage.
  • You can have multiple tiles of the same type — e.g. five different Announcements, each on a different playlist (morning vs afternoon vs after-hours, for instance).
