Learn more about Orders App Settings


At Otter, we want to make your order management easy and personalized just for you. With our Orders App Settings feature, you can customize how you handle your orders based on fulfillment mode (online orders, drive-thru, & dine-in). For example, you can decide when online orders should be moved to "Completed orders". Simply choose whether you want orders to be cleared after they're marked as ready or handed off. 

You can also configure how you want to assign third-party delivery providers under the Couriers & Logistics section. Request mode options:

  • Automatic: Our system will automatically assign couriers to orders as they are accepted.
  • Manual: You will need to manually assign a courier to all of your orders.

It's all about giving you control and making your experience with us as smooth as possible.
