What this page is for
This page sets the list of courses, such as starters and mains, that a new table order starts with at one store, in the order they are served. It is a template: Tulindo copies this list onto every new order opened at the store, but changing the template here never changes an order already open, and waiters can still add, rename, remove or reorder a course on their own order on the floor.
A store with no default courses here simply starts orders with none, and each item goes straight to the kitchen as soon as it is sent, rather than waiting to be fired course by course.
Everyone whose role can view the floor and kitchen set-up sees this page. Saving changes needs a role that can manage it.
How to…
How to set the default courses
- Go to Floor and kitchen → Default courses and choose the Store at the top.
- Type each course's name into its row, in the order it should be served.
- Press Add course for another, and use the up and down arrows to reorder one, or the cross to remove it.
- Press Save courses.
Two courses cannot share the same name; Tulindo tells you if they do, and will not save until you fix it.
How to see a store with no default courses
Choose the store; if it has none, the page says so and offers Add course to start the list.
Worked examples
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar sets its Westlands kitchen's default courses to Starters, Mains and Desserts, in that order. Every new table order there now opens with those three courses ready to hold items against, and a waiter can still add a fourth, such as Cheese, to one particular table's order without it affecting any other.
Supermarket
Tumaini Supermarket's tills sell straight off the shelf with no table service, so it leaves Default courses empty for every store; nothing here applies to a shop till.
