Otter Handheld Walkthrough

 

Otter Handheld Display

Otter Handhelds have a display similar to that of the standard Otter POS terminal. However, it is slightly scaled down to fit into a handheld device, allowing you to still take orders and process payments with ease.

 

The Otter Handheld device is perfect for restaurants that have:

  • Line busting
  • Table-side ordering and payments
  • Food trucks
  • Drive-thru

 

 

 


 

Otter Handheld Limitations

Due to the Handheld's size and slight differences in software, the device has a few notable limitations.

Feature Limitation Description
Orders App The device does not use the Orders app; it only uses the POS app to manage POS orders.
Menus App

Menu edits and 86ing are not available on the Handheld device. Menu edits must be made in the Otter Dashboard, and 86ing must be done on the tablet/terminal or in Otter Dashboard.

For example: If you do not automate menu publishing, Otter will only reflect the changes from the POS on the Otter Menu. The menu changes will not transfer to your delivery partners.

Analytics App

Analytics data cannot be accessed in the Analytics app on the device. 

To view analytics data, go to the Analytics app on the POS terminal or in Otter Dashboard.

KDS App The Handheld device does not include the KDS app and cannot be used as a mobile KDS.
Printed Receipts

At this time, the Handheld device does not print receipts. 

Receipts need to be printed from the standard POS terminal.
