Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Otter
- The parent company operates delivery only kitchens and has run its own virtual brands, so your order and menu data sits with a business that can compete in the same delivery radius.
- Pricing scales with the number of connected channels and locations, so the cost rises exactly in step with the delivery volume that makes the tool worth having.
- Inserting middleware between the marketplaces and the kitchen adds a failure point; when Otter has an incident, orders stop arriving even though DoorDash and Uber Eats are working normally.
- POS integration depth varies by system, and on some point of sale platforms orders arrive as a single lumped item rather than as itemised tickets, which breaks product mix reporting.
- Support is tiered by plan and lower tier customers report slow resolution on order routing faults, which are precisely the faults that cost money within the hour.
Rezku POS
- Platform exclusivity: only available on iPad, excluding Android, Windows, and other platforms limiting deployment flexibility
- Payment processing lock-in: requires use of Rezku Pay proprietary payment processing with no ability to negotiate rates or switch
- Hardware reliability issues: card readers have 30-day warranty with frequent connectivity issues and premature failures
- Limited integration options: the list of integrations is solid but shorter than competitors with less third-party support
- No free trial: requires sales team demos rather than offering self-service trial access

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Otter: Who owns Otter?
CloudKitchens, the City Storage Systems business founded by Travis Kalanick, which also leases delivery only kitchen space.
Rezku POS: What platforms does Rezku POS support?
Rezku POS exclusively operates on iPad and does not support Android, Windows, or other platforms. This hardware exclusivity may limit deployment flexibility for some restaurants.
SourceOtter: Does it reduce marketplace commission?
No. You still pay DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub their normal commission. Otter reduces tablet handling and re keying, not commission.
Rezku POS: Does Rezku POS include online ordering?
Yes, Rezku POS includes white-label online ordering, which restaurants can brand and integrate into their own websites. It also includes delivery dispatch management capabilities.
SourceOtter: Can I keep my existing POS?
In most cases yes, but check whether the integration passes itemised orders or a single consolidated line, because that determines whether your sales mix reporting stays usable.
Rezku POS: What are Rezku's customer support hours?
Rezku provides 24/7 US-based customer support with quick response times through multiple channels including phone, chat, and email. Support is considered a standout strength of the platform.
SourceOtter: What happens if Otter goes down?
Orders can be worked directly on the marketplace tablets, which is why most kitchens keep them rather than returning them.
Rezku POS: Does Rezku lock you into their payment processing?
Yes, Rezku requires users to use their proprietary Rezku Pay payment processing. Users cannot negotiate rates or switch to a cheaper processor, which is a significant pricing lock-in.
