Restaurant365 integrates with Revel POS, enabling seamless data flow between a location’s POS and the R365 platform. This allows daily sales, labor, and payment information to automatically drive reporting and accounting processes in R365. Learn more about POS integrations.
Data Transfer from Revel to R365
R365 connects directly to Revel POS’s cloud service through an API. Once authorized, data flows automatically into R365. Learn more about connecting Revel below.
The POS system is the source of record for all daily sales and labor activity. R365 reports on, but does not alter, the information recorded in the POS.
The daily polling cycle imports Revel data from the previous business day and creates corresponding records in R365 for financial and operational reporting, including the Daily Sales Summary (DSS).
API Limit
Revel enforces per-location API call limits which may limit the ability to repoll or bulk-import historical data.
Sales Data
When sales data is imported, R365 creates detailed records based on the information received from the POS. Learn more about POS Sales integrations.

Learn about alternative polling configurations which change the way sales data is imported below.
Paid outs and paid ins are imported to R365.
Deposits entered in the POS are imported to R365.
Labor Data
When labor data is imported, R365 creates employee-related records derived from POS data. Learn more about Labor integrations.
Click to expand for additional information.
POS employee records are created in the next polling cycle after an employee is added to the POS whether or not they have clocked in.
If a new Revel employee needs to be imported immediately, repoll the latest DSS.
Employee records created from Revel include:
First and last name
Phone number
Email address
Hire date
Payroll ID (External ID in Revel)
Job records created from Revel include:
Job code (Role ID in Revel)
Pay rate (Role wage in Revel)
Labor details created from Revel time punches are polled with a 14 day labor lookback window to capture updates made in the POS after the initial import.
This means that changes made in Revel to labor data from the last 14 days will automatically import with the next regular polling cycle, or by repolling a DSS within the lookback period for a date after the adjusted business day.
For example, if a shift from Monday is edited in Revel on Tuesday, the shift in R365 will automatically update on Wednesday when the DSS imports, or by repolling the Monday DSS.
Declared tips are imported to R365
Repolling Data
Revel enforces per-location API call limits which limit the ability to repoll data. Please contact R356 Support to assist with repolling the data.
Customization
Revel POS Integration Configurations
R365 Support uses the default polling configuration when setting up a new location. If other Revel integrations exist in the system, R365 will use the same configuration in use at the existing locations.

The default Revel configuration does not import Paid outs which include “tip” in the name.
Contact R356 Support to import paid outs that have “tip” in the name.
The default Revel configuration does not import open, unpaid or irregular ticket.
Contact R356 Support to import open, unpaid, and irregular tickets.
The default Revel configuration does not split tax rates by category.
Contact R356 Support to import split taxes (e.g. liquor tax vs. food tax).
The default Revel configuration imports voids with the generic name “void.”

Add On Integrations
The Revel POS integration supports the following add on integrations:
Intraday Polling is an add-on feature that collects current sales and labor data from compatible POS systems every 15, 30, or 60 minutes, depending on the POS system’s capabilities, allowing the Operations Dashboard and R365 Intelligence Dashboards to display real-time performance alongside forecasted values
Data imported through Intraday Polling does not produce a DSS, or update other reports that pull data from the DSS. The DSS will continue to be created as scheduled with the previous day’s complete data to populate these reports.
Schedule Writeback sends schedules that are created in R365 to the POS when published, providing a time frame for employees to clock in for their Scheduled start time. This allows locations to use the schedule enforcement features in their POS system to prevent employees from clocking in early.
The scheduling feature in Revel must be enabled to use R365 Schedule Writeback. Contact your POS representative to confirm scheduling is enabled.
Schedule enforcement settings are managed in Revel.
Revenue Center Split enables businesses with distinct service areas — such as bars, dining rooms, or patios— to treat each area as a separate location in R365. This allows for more accurate reporting and improved sales tracking by isolating data by service area.
The POS Menu Item Modifier Management POS integration configuration allows for menu items to be created in R365 based on the combination of parent menu items and their associated modifiers.
In Beta
Menu Item Modifier Management is currently in beta and is only available for select POS systems and customers. It is not fully supported across all environments. Contact your CSM for more information.
