Hi openmindedcomedy,
That would be the Main Menu> Render> (add to) Render Queue.
Please have a look here:

To get an idea of how it works, create a few little scenes, save it and render it to see how it works.
If you have more than one render setting, name them clearly, so you see instantly that all is set up as wanted.
For example, to render the same scene but with variations, save them with different names.
As A side note more complex than that would be the team render.
All the best
