PAR POS vs. Revel Systems

Brink just needs to continue to develop its technology for the every-changing industry.

It is very well suited for a one or two location operation. When we got up into the 7 venues and the high volume of sales/traffic, is where things started to get a little jumbled up. The scanning functions and UPC generation is very effective when dealing with keeping track of 7 locations. The "open check" feature is a BIG problem for us, as orders would be made, but the system allowed you to go onto the next order without collecting payment for the previous

• Brink has a simple interface for the team to use in their day to day.
• Brink is mostly simple to reconfigure to our needs in the field.

• Revel Systems is a very simple POS to operate for our employees
• They are constantly improving and updating
• Revel has integrated with COMO
• Reporting is very straight forward and easy to use

Incentivized

• Brink could update its hardware to the sign of the times with guest interactive POS.
• Appears clunky at times with its processes and steps.
• Brink needs to be able to edit it reporting features to get the desired result for time clock compliance especially in CA with Meal Break Laws.
• Brink needs to integrate its time clock process in CA, for a team member to accept or decline time clock edits and to waive a mandatory break.
• Brink needs better integration with KDS systems to do exactly what we need it to do as our business model develops into the future.

Incentivized

• We experienced multiple system failures when first implementing Revel.
• Occasionally we would have separate orders/tables merge or disappear entirely, which we could not attribute to user error.
• Some reporting limitations that our finance department needed

We have put an incredible amount of time into the set up, organization and clean up of this product. Now that it is working and flowing a little better, it would be inconvenient and potentially a bad move if we were to go anywhere else now.

It can be a bit difficult at the beginning but gets easier as long as you are taking advantage of Revel University, Help, and Customer Service when you get stuck

Incentivized

I believe Brink has been very responsive to our needs and requests

Incentivized

We got excellent support from Revel whenever we needed it. I personally worked with several Revel client support reps, and they were all extremely dedicated and helpful in assisting with any problem we had.

Not for this one

I inherited Brink and it works for us for now. But as we grow in CA and other markets, Brink maybe becomes a challenge with time record compliance and the ability to perform up to expectations with KDS systems.

• Square - Used Square with our entire menu for over 3 months. Doesn't handle food applications well.
• Shopkeep - While promising, doesn't offer a delivery management in any way, and online ordering is handled through third-party which is more expensive and more time-consuming to manage.

Incentivized

• Positive impact on its simplicity with our growth and ability to teach and transform our business.
• Negative impact on the business with time clock compliance in CA. We need more functionality for the Team Member experience in time clock management.

Incentivized

• Huge ROI, we took time to implement and customize our interface and it now saves us loads of time.
• We have almost endless data to look back on and help make business decisions
• It's easy to train, which reduces labor.
