      This article covers an overview of the "Course Away" & "Course Served" Till Functions and how they are used in SmartPOS.

      The Course Away Till Function is used to send a Course Away message for the selected Course to be Printed at any designated Remote Printer/s - e.g., Kitchen and/or Bar Printers. Up to four (4) different Course Away function buttons can be configured in BackOffice to send different Courses. For example, a Course Away function button that has been set for Course 1, will send a message informing of such. This will also change the Status of the Table to "1st Course Away" when viewed at a SmartPOS Workstation.

      The Course Served function has a similar result, Printing a Course Served message for the current Table to any designated Remote Printer/s. This will also change the Status of the Table to display the selected Course Served when the Table is viewed at a SmartPOS Workstation.
