    Many of our competitors were franchised base or a "factory store" meaning they HAD to use a specific software. This could be nice, but also very intrusive, in that they saw everything you were doing and could dictate what/when/how you ordered merchandise. So this is good for the independent retailer who does not need or have access to something created at a large corporate level.

    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

    Pros
    High Meadow Business Solutions
    • The front end register was ideal for new, young sales and customer service reps. Detailed reports and cutomer management worked really well.
    • Gift card issuing and redeeming was very easy and simple to track
    • Individual user id's meant we could track sales for contests and customer service issues as well

    Cons
    High Meadow Business Solutions
    • Like any complex program there were bells and whistles that were bundled and only available if you paid for a better package.
    • Tech Support was paid for on an annual plan and even though we rarely needed it, the few occasions I did have to call (never during regular working hours of course) I wan't a "gold" member and therefore had to pay or wait or both

    • 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.

    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.

    Only system for POS I ever used. I looked at others, but couldn't stomach the idea of migrating all that info to another system.

    • 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.

    Return on Investment
    High Meadow Business Solutions
    • I could not have done daily business without it
    • It knew a lot more about the retail process than I did. For instance, I knew I should look at sell through reports, but did not know how to run them or read them. Their tutorials were very helpful
    • Even though I complained about the tech support, their user base forums were great for knowledge and trouble shooting and seemed to be well proctored by the comapny as well.

    • 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.
