Revel alternatives are mostly searched by Revel customers after its acquisition by Shift4, who want to compare options before moving to a new product. Many also want to replace consumer iPads with dedicated payment hardware while they are making the change.
The alternatives below are grouped by who they fit. If you want a full POS that is quoted to your business, installed on site and supported by one team, Clover through Merchant Fund Express is the option we offer.
Revel Systems was an iPad-based POS for restaurants and retailers. Shift4 completed its acquisition of Revel in June 2024 and planned to combine it with its SkyTab POS; revelsystems.com now redirects to Shift4.
It tends to suit restaurant groups already processing with Shift4.
Today: Revel ran on iPads with add-on payment devices; Shift4 now sells its own SkyTab hardware. Shift4 processes payments for its POS products. Export your menu and reports from Revel while you still have access, then rebuild on Clover during installation.
Most of the work in a switch is information, not hardware: the menu or catalog, staff logins, tax settings and tip rules. We rebuild those with you so the first day on Clover looks familiar to your staff.
