A refresh design work which aims to upgrade web experience to native Android tablet.

By H1 2022, OM (Order Manager) has grown to 80k active locations (32 % of all otter active locations). As the customer persona and feature sets grow, a few problems and questions started to emerge. One of the key issues with OM today is its poor performance and reliability. As a means to improve the overall performance of OM, we are planning to build this natively within Android.
