Before You Start

Coursing helps coordinate service flow between your front-of-house and kitchen teams, improving the guest experience and reducing kitchen overwhelm.

Fullscreen Tutorial

Note:

• Coursing is optional and must be activated in Selio Manager (enable Coursing + Hold/Fire options).
• Hold/Fire works only with the Selio KDS system.

Set up Coursing via:

• Selio Manager (for POS) link
• Selio Manager – KDS (for KDS devices) link

Using Coursing in Selio for Restaurants #

1. Select the table you want to take an order for.
2. Tap Courses to activate the option.
3. Add items to their designated course:
   • Straight: Beverages are auto-assigned here.
   • Course 1, Course 2, Dessert: Tap a course before adding items to it.
4. Rearrange items between courses:
   Before sending the order, you can move items to a different course.

Using Hold/Fire (when enabled) #

• Course 1: Automatically set to Fire (sends to kitchen immediately).
• Later courses: Set to Hold by default, but can be manually switched to Fire.

When you’re ready, tap Send to submit the entire order to the kitchen.

Adding Extra Courses After Sending #

1. Open the table again.
2. Tap Add Courses at the bottom of the sent items list.
3. Choose additional courses from the pop-up window.
4. Assign new items to the new courses.

💡 Best Practices:

• Pre-set your courses in Selio Manager before service starts (e.g., Starter, Main, Dessert).
• Train staff to use Hold/Fire for smooth service pacing, especially during peak hours.
• Use Straight for drinks and bar items that don’t follow the kitchen’s coursing logic.
• Encourage servers to review courses before sending to avoid mistakes (e.g., appetizers marked as mains).
• Communicate with the kitchen team when introducing new coursing workflows, especially if combined with Selio KDS.
