Revel is a better system than it previously was. Opening and closing are simple and Inventory is fairly simple. The look of the software is good too. I would definitely recommend it.

There is a problem with discount pricing. If there are two items and there is a discount on only one of them, the discount is shown on the other item as well. This does not show the price of the items. We have to do a manual discount rather than a percentage to work around.

Support and tech help is wonderful.

Accessing the database reports and the ability to check on sales is great from my phone.

I would like easy navigation of the products.

We've worked with it for years and we’ll continue to use it at our functions. I really like Square.

Simple to use, extremely trustworthy, simple to teach a new person on how to work with the software app and reader, dashboards are simple to navigate, reports are simple to read, Square charges are extremely reasonable and very good about offering Square reader devices for POS transactions.

The standard Square readers don’t function with the most recent Apple iPhones that don’t have the phone jack which can be challenging. It can be difficult to view the person that paid for a product or to match up transactions to products sold (for big events when many transactions occur within a short time frame).

Simple to apply for simple to use quick verification irrespective of the size of the service is fantastic, plenty of options.

Some updates on their devices could help.
