Revel = Overpriced dishonest and corrupt. Its terrible that a company can operate in this day and age with such dishonesty - from hiding costs, failing to supply agreements yet embedding them in a url link in the fine print to obscure it, Order forms that order monthly subscriptions then you find out it has a three year term that was never disclosed, sales men that tell you to contact their providers of equipment to get a price, sales men that lie and wont stand by their own word. Then you have the 15k cancellation fee for the 3 year contract you were never advised you had. Customer service teams that don't communicate and pass you off to each other to further yet obscure you from getting any value. A disgraceful company, shame the software is ok, they are now just a greedy corporation with no appreciation or view of their customers. With this company they customer is always wrong and they will tell you so.

They hold your money long beyond any other credit card company/pos service . Transactions from a Wednesday still have not posted on a Saturday and no help or explanation or care for the impact to the small business.

The software isn't terrible but the fees make it not worth it. Every additional add on costs extra. To get decent service it's $60 a month. To have a loyalty system is another $25. If you don't use their processor it's another $149. Then on top of it they just raise the software fees above your contracted amount whenever they feel like it and then tack on a 10% administrative fee. I went from under $275 a month to $424 and they had the gaul to tell me they'd charge me the $15,000 cancellation fee if I tried to cancel four months early because of it. Never use this company if you have a choice.

If you speak to a rep named Amy, don’t expect much help nor to be spoken to kindly. Also, Revels account verification process is really lacking proper security and authentication measures as explained to me by Amys manager Dashawn (not too sure on that spelling there) My issue stayed unresolved and I’ll likely never use nor refer Revel to anyone for use in the future.

We have been a customer of Revel since 2014. Many of the bad reviews here are accurate. Revel has shady business practices and they trick customers into contracts that they do not deliver on. Product is ok but it has a lot of features that do not work as advertised. They will not improve the product either. Find a company that you can escalate issues with that cares about your business. Revel should be ashamed of these bad reviews. over the years it appears they have not changed.

I waited on hold for support once for 61 minutes, YES that is more than 1 hour! Another handful of times I waited for 30-40 minutes. Customer service agents are knowledgeable but there is a language barrier. The system is very confusing to use and set up in Backoffice. A lot of extra steps for every action, not good for a bar at all! I cant see it being beneficial for QSR either. They also misrepresented the capabilities of the system, so I was released from my contract, with a 45% restocking fee on their returned and proprietary equipment (stand, cables and other stuff)

I'm a pretty technical guy and I read a lot of reviews before deciding on Revel at the end of 2018 for my pizza business. A lot of those reviews sounded like they were from people who didn't know how to maintain a local area network or navigate a complex, configurable POS. I figured that if I found those issues, I would reach out to support and they'd take me seriously. Well, that wasn't the case. There are bugs in Revel in the massive feature set they claim to have and so many random pitfalls and usability issues that you'd swear their development team never spent a minute doing usability testing in the field. When I pointed out inconsistencies with their ticket printing, I spent hours on the phone trying to explain the issue only to get "that's as designed" so so so many times. Please, listen to me random person on the internet: this POS is truly terrible.

Stay away from Revel Advantage, their payment processing division. We signed up and they sent us a wireless chip reader which was very slow and did not work. They then send us an wired one which was also very, very slow. Both were refurbished. I called to complain as these chip readers were just to slow for our operation and was told they were the only options. When i cancelled revel POS with a "client specialist" I was told they would be a $500 cancellation free for Revel Advantage. I let them know that this system was just not working for us and the client specialist said he wish he knew about the problem. I let him know I did and that nothing could be done???? STAY AWAY FROM REVEL ADVANTAGE IF YOU NEED A FAST PAYMENT PROCESSOR...
