You use courses to manage the firing of tickets to the kitchen for fulfillment.
You can set courses at the menu, menu group, subgroup, or menu item level. By default, menu groups inherit their course from their parent menus. Menu items and subgroups inherit their course from their parent menu groups. For more information on inheritance, see Understanding inheritance.
If you want to override the inherited course for a menu item, set its Inherit course? setting to No and then select a course from the dropdown. When you configure settings directly on a menu item, those settings apply any time the menu item is ordered, from any menu path.
To override the inherited course for a menu group or subgroup, select the link icon to unlink the configuration and then select the course from the list.
To configure a menu item so that it inherits its course, set the Inherit course? setting to Yes.
To configure a menu group or subgroup so that it inherits its course, select the link icon so that the Course setting is grayed out.
If you do not have any courses configured yet, use the Manage courses link to go to the Courses page where you can create them. For more information on creating courses, see Creating courses. For more information on using courses, see this Toast Central article.
While you can assign courses in the menu builder, you must use the classic Courses page to create the courses themselves.
