Courses¶
Tells the kitchen which dishes are starters, mains or desserts. The docket prints each course under its own heading, so the kitchen can see what to send first.
Where: menu → Sales → Products → any product → Advanced → Course.
Set up¶
- Open a dish and go to Advanced.
- Under Course, choose Starter, Main or Dessert.
- Save the product.
Only set it on the dishes that need it. Drinks, coffee and anything left on None print the way they always have.
At Little Kite, Kingfish crudo, yuzu, chilli oil is a Starter, Grilled sirloin, café de Paris butter is a Main and Chocolate tart, crème fraîche is a Dessert.
Changing it on an order¶
When staff tap a dish on the order, they see Course, with the dish's own course already picked. Choosing another from the list changes it for that order only.
For example, Roast pumpkin, chickpea, tahini is a Main by default. A customer who wants it first gets it as a Starter: tap the line, open Course and choose Starter.
The course shows only as the heading on the docket. It is not added to the dish's name, on the docket or on the receipt.
If the dish was already sent to the kitchen, the next docket cancels it under its old course and sends it again under the new one.
What the kitchen sees¶
| On the docket | What prints |
|---|---|
| No course | First, with no heading, as before |
| STARTERS | Every starter |
| MAINS | Every main |
| DESSERTS | Every dessert |
The same dish ordered twice in the same course still prints once, as 2. Online orders use each dish's own course.
