Take payments for phone orders with Otto
Otto helps restaurants take phone orders and collect payment without tying up staff during service.
When a customer places an order, Otto can send them a secure payment link and let them choose whether to pay now or pay cash, depending on the options your venue has enabled.
That means fewer unpaid orders, clearer customer expectations, and a smoother path from phone call to confirmed order.
Clearer Payment Flows for Phone Orders
Phone orders can get messy when payment is unclear. Customers may think an order is confirmed before payment is complete, while staff may not know whether an order has been paid, cancelled, or still waiting.
Otto gives customers a clear next step after the call. They receive a secure payment link, choose the payment option available to them, and get confirmation once the order is ready to move forward.
