Cost-wise Revel system, which is a web-based POS system, might be better over a traditional POS system. However, it would be risky to install this new technology in restaurants. Unlike a traditional one, a web-based POS system totally relies on Internet. What if Internet server is down or unstable? There will be great confusion to the restaurants. If there is no problem regarding Internet connection or restaurants have backup plans in case of loss of Internet or power, it would be an efficient and effective tool for the restaurant business.

I had a doctor visit this past week and the office could barely function because their servers were down. If down systems can cause this much turmoil in a doctor's office where people expect to wait, imagine the trouble in a busy restaurant. The system sounds great, but there would need to be a back-up system or procedure in place. There are risks of a system crash, so why not have a more traditional processing system available if it is needed? The benefits of cyber storage can be considerable and likely down the road more safeguards will be in place to hedge against the negative effects of a system crash. This is definetely a technology worth researching (if your business is big enough to sustain it).
