Recent Orders

Otter POS's "recent orders feature" allows you to access the 10 most recent orders within the past 6 months in one click for your customers. This enables easy addition of popular items to the cart without manual search. Streamlining this process leads to faster customer service and a better overall experience for staff and customers.

You can tap a single card or different cards multiple times, and each tap adds the order’s items and modifiers to the cart. To remove items, you’ll need to do so within the cart. a2397530-c6ee-4403-aa06-2763e5d1be05.gif

Pre-fill item modifiers


When you add an item to the cart that has modifiers and was ordered within the last 30 orders, the modifiers from the previous order will be pre-filled automatically. A summary banner will show these selected modifiers at the top.
