Tablet Overview and Setup

Overview

Maximize your setup with the Otter app! It comes pre-installed on all Otter-issued tablets, but you can also download it directly to your own compatible devices.

Hardware & Printing Requirements:

  • Bluetooth Printers: You must use the Otter app to connect. Bluetooth printing is not supported via web browser access.
  • Web Browser (Order Manager): If you prefer using Order Manager on a web browser, you must use an Otter-issued printer (Ethernet or TP-Link) to print tickets.
