Who we are Otter offers a wide range of software and hardware solutions for restaurants.

Restaurants around the world, both large and small, including Chick-fil-A, Ben & Jerry's, KFC, and Eataly trust our software to power their delivery business. We increase sales, reduce order issues, and decrease delivery headaches. What you'll do We are seeking a talented Front End Engineer to join our Money Engineering team in New York.
