Disappointing Experience with Otter – Poor Equipment and Customer Service
I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Otter compels me to share. I'm giving them a 1-star rating due to the consistently poor service and equipment quality we've encountered. Poor Equipment: From day one, the equipment (tablet and printer) provided by Otter was subpar. We faced frequent malfunctions and inefficiencies, which directly impacted our daily operations. In a business where every order is crucial, unreliable equipment is not just an inconvenience; it's a liability. Customer Service Frustrations: The customer service experience was equally disheartening. Initially, their sales team was overly persistent, calling up to three times a day. However, once we were on board, the support vanished. Getting assistance for any issue was a Herculean task. We were left to fend for ourselves, writing endless emails or scheduling meetings that seemed more like a time sink than a solution. Lack of Accountability: The final straw was when a mistake on the menu, which was Otter's error, led to significant issues for us. Despite this, Otter refused to acknowledge their fault or offer any form of compensation for the trouble caused. Conclusion: I regret to say that our experience with Otter has been nothing short of a nightmare. The poor quality of equipment and the lack of responsive customer service have not only caused frustration but also financial losses. I strongly advise other restaurant owners to consider these factors seriously before opting for Otter's services. Edit: After a month canceling the services with Otter, we are still facing problems with the platform.
