What is 'mains away'?
In fine dining services, it is necessary to notify the kitchen that your guests have finished their entrées and are ready for their mains. This is to call mains away, or to 'fire mains'.

4. In the Note tab, click Add Item.
5. Under Note, enter the Note you would like to send to the kitchen and the Print Locations. Then, click the Save button.
6. Click the Publish button.
7. Once the menu has been published, you can add the note to an order on your POS the same way you would add your menu items.
