How does Otter's multichannel system handle menu updates across different ordering platforms?
Otter's system allows restaurants to update their menus once, and those changes automatically apply across all integrated ordering channels, including in-store POS, kiosks, online ordering, and delivery app integrations, ensuring consistency and reducing manual effort.
Can Otter POS operate if internet connectivity is temporarily lost?
Yes, Otter POS features a wireless offline mode, which ensures uninterrupted service and transaction processing even if the internet connection is lost. Data is then synced once connectivity is restored.
What kind of hardware is included with the POS Pro bundle, and what are its key specifications?
The POS Pro bundle includes everything from the Growth bundle, plus a 21-inch Kiosk with a stand. The standard POS hardware typically includes a dual-screen POS terminal, an accessory hub, a card reader (supporting contactless, EMV chip, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and magstripe), and a Bluetooth printer with a high printing speed of 250mm/s.
How does Otter's loyalty program differentiate itself from standard reward systems?
Otter's loyalty program is highly customizable, allowing restaurants to define how guests earn rewards (e.g., by spend amount or specific item purchases) and to name their rewards (e.g., bucks, stars, points). It also facilitates in-store sign-ups via POS and mobile QR codes and seamlessly applies rewards to purchases.
Beyond standard POS functions, what specific tools does Otter offer to help restaurants analyze their performance?
Otter provides an 'Otter Pulse' report, which is a free performance analysis tool designed to offer insights into a restaurant's operations. Additionally, the system includes comprehensive intelligence and reporting features that provide real-time data on sales, trends, and overall performance.
What is the typical onboarding timeline for a new restaurant using Otter, and what support is provided during this phase?
Otter aims to get restaurants set up quickly, with onboarding specialists who can complete the setup process in 7 days or less. This includes assistance with hardware installation and system configuration.
