What can you set for courses?

Answer

Under Courses you create the courses of your menu, such as Starter and Main course, in the order in which the kitchen makes them. Then on each product you set which course it belongs to. The Courses feature costs €10 per month (excluding VAT) and only works together with Restaurant. If you already use Courses, it is free until 1 January 2027.

Where to find it

Settings > Point of sale and products > Courses (/Settings/WebshopCourses)

Explanation

If your store has no courses yet, it gets the default courses Drinks (send immediately), Starter, Main course and Dessert. You drag a line to change the order and tap a name to change it. A product can be in more than one course; the first is the default course and the item gets it when it is rung up at the POS. Without courses, the starter leaves the kitchen at the same time as the main course.
