Summary

The Otter experience is enhanced with the Otter app! The app is pre-installed in tablets issued by Otter or can be downloaded onto your own device that supports the Otter app.

Please Note

  • Bluetooth printers can only connect to Otter via the Otter app, and not via the web browser access
  • If you want to use the web version of Order Manager then an Otter-issued printer (Ethernet or TP-Link connection) is required to print. 

For additional information about the Otter app, please visit Otter Order Manager.
