A course is a step of the meal: Starter, Main Course, Dessert. On the order screen the waiter picks a course for a dish, and the order list shows it as a tag on the line. The tags above the list (All and one per course) filter the list so the waiter sees one course at a time.

Common questions
Can the kitchen start the main course only when I ask?
No. Every dish goes to the kitchen when you send the order, so send the main course when the table is ready for it.
The course tags do not appear on the order.
No course is set up: add courses on Configuration › Courses.
