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.

We learnt that some operators are just mashing down on the mark ready > mark handed off buttons. This doesn't help to speed up the process, and we were thinking to make the button set as part of customisation settings so that it fits each kitchen workflow individually.
