"Installing legacy POS systems that rely on back-office servers takes several days but installing Revel Systems' revolutionary POS system takes just a few hours," said Lisa Falzone, co-founder and CEO of Revel Systems. "Combining this efficiency with the expertise and ubiquity of Geek Squad Agents will make it easier than ever for customers to adopt our system, which relies on servers hosted in the cloud."

Richfield, Minn.-based Geek Squad, a Best Buy Services Group capability, is the first national 24-hour task force dedicated to solving customers' technology challenges. Geek Squad's 20,000 active Agents are available online, by phone, at Geek Squad precincts in all U.S. Best Buy stores, and for in-home and office calls.

Since it came out of beta last August, Revel has grown exponentially and is processing millions of dollars with major brands such as Camille's Sidewalk Cafe, Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen, and Twistee Treat. The company's flagship product is a quick, intuitive and secure mobile restaurant POS system that enables staff to take orders and process payments using an iPad and gives management a central place to view and retrieve transaction and billing information.

Designed for both small businesses and large enterprises, the solution combines the power of the cloud and the security of a local iPad application. It's also easily customizable for payroll, inventory tracking, email receipts and more, and manages everything from menu and ingredients to order-taking, secure payment processing and real-time reporting.
