RightPlace with Revel

Revel POS: keep Revel on the sale, add the door and the deals.

Revel Systems runs your orders and payments on iPad. RightPlace opens in Safari on that same iPad, or on any other device, to handle the waitlist, the kitchen pass and bringing guests in.

Keep Revel doing what it does best

Revel rings up the sale, runs the card and keeps your menu, checks and payments. RightPlace leaves all of that alone. It covers the parts of the night that happen before and around the check: the door, the line, the kitchen pass, the guests who are deciding where to go tonight, and the regulars you want back next week.

Nothing to install on Revel, nothing to switch off, and nothing to retrain on the register. No hardware required.

Where RightPlace runs on a Revel setup

Revel’s point of sale is an iPad app, and every iPad has Safari. Open RightPlace there and switch between the two apps, or use Split View.
If you lock the iPad to Revel with Guided Access, turn it off to switch, or give RightPlace its own device.
Revel keeps your orders and payments, unchanged.

Tip: keep a spare device or two charged in case a server’s phone dies. Staff can use their own devices if they like.

Get more out of Revel (advice any spot can use)

Use Revel’s reports to find your slowest night and hour, then aim one deal at exactly that window.
Keep a spare charged iPad in the office. If one dies mid-service, both apps are back in a minute.
Give the host stand its own screen on busy nights so the register isn’t also the waitlist.
Tell the floor about an 86 at once. Tap “86 an item” in RightPlace’s kitchen screen and server phones, the host stand and the Door TV all show it sold out.
Tap Rung in with the Revel order number when a RightPlace ticket goes on the register, so nothing gets made without being rung.

What RightPlace adds beside Revel

A posted wait guests can see: The host posts the wait with one tap. Guests looking for a spot tonight see it with the time it was updated, and can tap On the way.
Deals that fill slow nights: Post a deal from the host stand with a start, an end and a photo. Guests see a countdown, so a Tuesday special works on Tuesday.
A kitchen screen for RightPlace orders: Food ordered ahead and server phone orders show on a kitchen screen. A "Rung in" list shows which tickets still need to go on Revel, with the check number once they do.
A TV by the door: Any smart TV shows the wait, tonight’s specials, games and photos from tonight.
Table requests by scan code: A guest scans the code on the table to ask for a refill, the check or a to-go box. It goes to that table’s server.
A Night Report in plain numbers: Parties seated through RightPlace, deals used and times, counted from your staff’s taps. Your sales numbers stay in Revel.

Already have a waitlist or reservations?

If you already use a waitlist or reservations tool with Revel, keep it. RightPlace’s biggest help is bringing people in: guests looking for a spot tonight see the wait you posted and your deals, tap On the way, and come back for the perks you set. You can also run the waitlist on RightPlace; pick whichever your host likes.

Set it up in a few minutes

Pick a screen: Use a screen you already have where it can open a web browser, or any tablet, laptop or phone beside the register.
Open getrightplace.app: Sign in with your spot’s 6-digit code. There is nothing to download from an app store.
Bring your menu over: Export your items as a CSV file, or paste your menu or your website’s menu page. You see everything before it saves.
Run a night: The host stand, kitchen, servers and Door TV each open on their own screen. Payments keep going through Revel.

Revel is a trademark of its owner. RightPlace is a separate company, not affiliated with or endorsed by Revel, and RightPlace does not connect to Revel: it runs beside it in a web browser.

Questions owners ask

Can RightPlace run on my Revel iPad?

Yes. Revel’s point of sale is an iPad app, and RightPlace opens in Safari on the same iPad. Switch apps or use Split View; turn off Guided Access first if the iPad is locked to Revel.

Can I import my Revel menu?

Export your items as a CSV file, or paste your menu or your website’s menu page. You see everything before it saves.

Does RightPlace replace Revel?

No. Revel keeps every sale, card payment and check. RightPlace never takes payment and runs beside your register in a web browser.
