Quick hack for implementing KOT in restaurant
summary
Quick implementation details for KOT printing from cloud ERPNext to an in-kitchen printer using a local helper: a Flask app on localhost receives order data from a POS client script, appends HTML, converts to PDF and sends it to a Windows-configured network printer; this setup runs reliably for eight months with one restart. Also a kitchen screen built on Frappe polls ERPNext every 5 seconds with start/complete buttons and basic KOT timing analytics, browser localhost access needs a one-time certificate or flags.
