Adding the Integration
From there, our support team will provide further instructions.
After our support team has assisted you with the integration set up, your Revel integration and integration settings will be accessible within your 7shifts account under:
1. More > Apps & Integrations:
2. Select My Integrations and click on your POS:
3. Click on Settings next to the Location(s). For example:
Actual Sales & Forecasting
Once your integration has been activated, your real-time sales data will be enabled by default. We will backfill 90 days of previous sales, if available. 7shifts will also use those Actual Sales values to populate Projected Sales, allowing you to create schedules based on those projections. These will become more accurate over time as more data is available. Sales data from Revel syncs to 7shifts every 5 minutes.
7shifts will begin pulling in your sales data into the Dashboard, Manager Log Book, Actuals Report, and the Labor Budget Tool.
⚠️ Sales Accuracy
To ensure accurate reporting and matching sales totals, 7shifts and Revel POS must both:
- be in the same timezone
- have work day hours ranging from 5AM—5AM

Labor Budget Tool:

Projected Sales
Now when you go to build schedules for future weeks, 7shifts will automatically look at past historical sales and insert your sales projections for you. This allows for more accurate scheduling if you're wanting to stay on budget and within your labor targets.
Actual Sales
The Actual Sales will initially be empty for the current or future days until sales start rolling in. Once the sales numbers have been pulled into 7shifts, they will be shown appropriately under those specific days.
Actual Labor
We integrate with Revel actual labor, this means that your actual labor costs will be pulled into 7shifts. Once enabled, your actual labor costs will be displayed on the Dashboard allowing you to compare Sales vs. Labor.
To enable Revel Actual Labor:
1. Head over to the More > Apps & Integrations > My Integrations > Revel POS > Settings.
2. Click 'Settings' beside the Location(s) that you want to enable.
3. Under the 'Labor' tab, click on the slider beside 'Actual Labor.'
You'll see the Actual Labor numbers update on the Dashboard on the day you enabled the Actual Labor integration. Going forward, these numbers will be updated daily (every 15 minutes) from your POS.
Mapping Roles
You'll want to review and map your specific Roles between Revel and 7shifts to easily assign Roles when adding new employees from Revel. This is how you will be able to match your Roles in 7shifts to their counterparts in your POS.
To map your Roles:
1. Hover over to More > Apps & Integrations > Mapping :
2. From there, select Roles.
7shifts will automatically map any Roles that already exist between Revel and 7shifts, if they are both spelled the same way, with the same capitalization and spelling. You'll find those under the 'Mapped' heading.
If 7shifts was not able to auto map the specific Roles, you'll need to either create the Role within 7shifts or your POS or map it to another existing Role.
Mapping Employees
You'll need to review and map your employees between Revel and 7shifts to connect the Schedule Enforcement and Actual Labor features. This is how you will be able to match your Employees in 7shifts to their counterparts in your POS.
1. Hover over to More > Apps & Integrations > Mapping :
2. From there, select Employees.
7shifts will automatically map any Employees that already exist between Revel and 7shifts (if they are both spelled the same way). You'll find those under the 'Mapped' heading.
For unmapped Employees, you can either match up, ignore, or create the Employee.
Match: Simply find the corresponding employee in the list.
Ignore: You'll want to ignore if the employee will never need to clock in/out (i.e. Salaried employees)
Create: This will add the employee to 7shifts, allowing you to start scheduling them.
Moving forward, you can add your new employees to Revel or 7shifts. New employees will be mapped automatically if a match is found.
Enforce Schedule (Punch Enforcement)
You can now ensure that your staff clocks into Revel only when they're scheduled to work. In turn, this allows you to control and reduce labor costs.
Here's how it works: Shifts are automatically synced to your Revel POS. Staff clock in/out on the POS. Your POS will then validate whether or not that employee is scheduled to work and can clock in. If they are scheduled to work, they will be allowed to clock in.
How to get started:
1. First, you'll need to map your roles and map your employees.
2. Then, hover over to More > Apps & Integrations > My Integrations > Revel POS > Settings.
3. Next you will need to enable the 'Enforce Schedule' by clicking the toggle on the right.
Employee Sync
7shifts can automatically create a new employee when you add them to your POS. Streamline your employee onboarding process by eliminating the need to enter employee information twice.
1. Have Actual Labor turned on in your integration settings.
2. Map your existing Employees. This will ensure Employees you have chosen to ignore during mapping will not be created in 7shifts.
3. Map your Roles. This will ensure Employees will be assigned the correct Roles in 7shifts when they are created.
Syncing Wages
You can set your employees' wages in 7shifts to sync with the wages from your POS. This will ensure that your wages within 7shifts are always up to date with the wage in your POS.
To enable the Wage Sync setting:
1. Head over to the More > Apps & Integrations > My Integrations > Revel POS > Settings.
2. Click 'Settings' beside the Location(s) that you want to enable.
3. In the 'Employee Data' tab, click the slider button to enable 'Wage Sync.'
Sync POS Time Clocking Data
If you have a POS integration that includes labor, you have the option to view your employee's time clocking entries from the POS within 7shifts. In addition, you are able to export this time clocking data to any of our payroll integrations.
When an Employee doesn’t have a scheduled shift within 7shifts, the Revel punch for that day will appear without a Role, under Time Clocking in 7shifts.
(Punch with Role)
(Punch with no Role)
