Can anyone tell me if Square KDS has the capability of coursing?

I'm hoping someone can confirm what I think I already know. Square's KDS (kitchen display system) does not appear to course out menu items. App's, Entree's, etc.....Can anyone confirm this. This system won't serve my needs if it can't separate courses.... 

Thanks!

@TamJam Square for restaurants does in fact offer coursing.  You can control the station that a ticket goes to with categories.  You would have to be using square for restaurants plus for this feature.  Here is the support article:

In theory, you may use this with an expeditor/expo ipad that controls some of the functions.  The first course is like a straight fire ticket for the kitchen.  I have not used it personally, but I should test it out sometime.  If you try it and it doesn't do what you need, square doesn't have any contracts so you can play around with it for a month for minimal cost.  So the KDS should pick up on the coursing if my theory holds true.
