Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Nory

  • The forecasting that justifies the product needs several months of clean point of sale history, so new openings and recently reopened sites get little value at first.
  • It replaces scheduling, stock and reporting together, which makes adoption an all or nothing project rather than a tool a single manager can trial.
  • Employment rules and rota compliance are built for the United Kingdom and Ireland, so groups with United States or continental European sites will find gaps.
  • The vendor is young and its integration list is short, so an operator on a less common point of sale or payroll provider may be waiting on a build.
  • Pricing is per site, which means small satellite units and kiosks cost the same as flagship venues despite far simpler operations.

Revel Systems

  • Requires 3-year contract with high early termination fees making it difficult to cancel
  • System crashes and glitches frequently, especially at high transaction volumes
  • Mandatory payment processing through Revel's Advantage processor with external processors heavily penalized
  • Customer support quality is poor with Level 1 support described as ineffective
  • Expensive upfront costs and numerous hidden fees for add-on features

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Nory: How much sales history does it need to forecast well?

Several months at minimum. With less than that the forecast is not reliable enough to size rotas or orders against.

Revel Systems: What does Revel Systems cost?

Revel pricing starts around $99 per month per terminal with a minimum 3-year contract requirement. Customers also pay for additional features like reporting, workforce management, integrations, and Advantage payment processing which is typically mandatory.

Source
Nory: Does it do payroll?

No. It produces the rota, hours and labour cost, and exports to payroll rather than running it.

Revel Systems: How long does implementation take?

Revel implementation typically takes 2-4 weeks, including hardware setup, menu configuration, staff training, and system integration.

Source
Nory: Is it usable outside the United Kingdom and Ireland?

It can be, but the employment rules, compliance logic and integration coverage are built around those markets.

Revel Systems: What integrations does Revel support?

Revel integrates with multiple payment processors through Stripe and Square connectors, plus accounting, payroll, and ecommerce solutions. Payment gateways vary by region.

Source
Nory: Does it replace my point of sale?

No. It reads sales from the point of sale and sits above it as the operations and reporting layer.

Revel Systems: What are Revel's contract terms?

Revel requires a minimum 3-year contract with high early termination fees. Use of Revel's Advantage payment processing is typically mandatory, and using outside processors is heavily penalized or not allowed.
