Course Lines (menu item entry by course)

Course Lines are typically used within Fine Dining establishments. When activated, course lines allow servers to select menu items to label 'by course' and the kitchen will be notified when to prepare each course.

Course Lines are programmed to each menu item. When using course line ordering, add the Change Course function to allow you to change the course of an item if needed (i.e. App as Entrée or Entrée as App).
