    Pick a template type

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

    • Announcement 📣 — quick, eye-catching message ("Now Hiring", "We're Open")
    • Advertisement 💲 — promotional graphic with price and call-to-action
    • Reminder 🔔 — day/time-sensitive notice ("Happy Hour 4–7 PM")
    • Message 💬 — long-form text post
    • Social 📲 — share-style block with handles or a QR code
    • Menu 🍽 — food/drink list with prices, photos, sides & drinks

    Click the card that matches your goal.

    Pick a variant (if shown)

    Some types — especially Menu — have multiple visual variants (Menu 1, Menu 2, Special, Classic). Click the variant that matches your industry and vibe. Other template types skip this step and go straight to the editor.

    The editor opens with default text and placeholder images. Replace them with your own — see the matching how-to in the related articles below.

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).
