INTRODUCTION

Odoo POS Kitchen Network Printer for quick kitchen receipts!

In a confectionary or any mini food store, customers require tokens to get the desired products. Also, the tokens or receipts must be delivered to the salesperson, which collects the same order number from the Kitchen. But usually, there is no token system in the kitchen which cause order mixup.

Therefore to send orders directly to the kitchen and avoid order mixups, you need a module that sorts this problem.

Odoo POS Kitchen Network Printer solves this problem. It authorizes the POS user to install a network printer in the Kitchen and automatically print the POS receipt before order validation. Moreover, the module doesn’t require a POSBox for printing the receipts.

Moreover, the module uses ECS/POS network printer with a QZ tray Client to print orders.
