Otter is a restaurant management system that provides a single platform for restaurants to adjust menus and items, manage delivery and dine-in services, and monitor sales.
When integrated with Lightspeed Restaurant, Otter will synchronize your Lightspeed menu with all of the delivery platforms you use and enable automatic, real-time order ingestion into your POS. For more information, visit the Otter website.
