Chose Avero
Overall reviews and after speaking to several companies using Avero it was the clear choice. We looked at many more than just the couple we reviewed but those 2 we narrowed down due to similar cost and features. Slingshot was just easier to understand and implement into our …
Chose Avero
It was the only solution we had for our POS system that seemed reasonable. We liked that we could use it for multiple stores and didn't have to have the same POS for each
Revel Systems
Chose Revel Systems
Revel Systems has a much more intuitive user interface and reporting suite than Micros, which was our previous POS system. It's also more equipped to handle multiple types of service than something like Square. We ultimately went with Revel because of the inventory tracking …
Chose Revel Systems
I personally was not part of the process when Revel was decided on, but I did have the whole process of setup and clean up of things. Overall, it is a good product, solid, and has so many features that I didn't even get to dive into because it just wasn't applicable to our …
Chose Revel 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 …

If you have multiple locations, Avero can bring all your reporting into one place. Not sure it is worth it if you have one store and are not looking to get deep dive reporting.

When we first started looking at Revel Systems they were more restaurant friendly but they have adapted very well to our retail needs. This system is very easy to operate and maintain, from the POS to the management console. We are able to monitor and run reports for all three of our locations from one URL.

  • More flexible use of discounts and coupons
  • More personal dedicated customer service which they went away from and went to general support even though we still pay for elevated customer service access.
  • Updates do not always function properly

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 thought it stacked up better against its competitors.
