What is a restaurant POS system?
If you’ve worked in a restaurant for a long time, chances are you’ve witnessed the evolution of the POS system transform from an old-school cashier to a more sophisticated model essential for powering an online ordering business.
Since online ordering has grown 300% faster than dine-in since 2014, many restaurants are prioritizing effective restaurant tech—with an innovative POS system at the top of their lists.
The smart POS systems restaurants are using today do more than accept payment: they can also expand a restaurant’s reach and inform its overarching business strategy.
Since today’s POS systems are a hub of valuable data, many restaurants analyze performance monthly and yearly to make changes in pricing, promotions, ingredients, and more.
How does Otter make POS integration easy for restaurants?

After connecting Otter and your POS, all online and offline orders are automatically “injected” into your POS system, consolidating all your revenue streams, sales reporting, and operational workflow in one place.
