Cegid Revo Xef is a restaurant POS that runs on iPad and is contracted in versions through a distributor; the kitchen display, bookings, QR menu and loyalty come as separate modules. Food&Service brings it all into a single program that runs in the browser of any tablet, computer or phone. Here are the differences, with the source of every fact.

Questions about Revo and Food&Service.
Another question? Write to us
Is Food&Service an alternative to Revo?
Yes. Both are restaurant POS systems with handheld ordering, a kitchen display, a QR menu, online orders, bookings, inventory with recipe costing and VeriFactu. The difference is how it's put together: Revo runs on iPad, is contracted in versions through a distributor and adds modules such as Flow, Solo, Intouch or KDS. Food&Service brings it together in one program that runs in the browser of any device, with no device limit.
Do I need an iPad to use Food&Service?
No, but if you already have iPads, they'll work. Food&Service runs in the browser of any tablet, computer or phone (Chrome, Edge or Safari) and with the Android app, and you can have it open on several at once. According to its website, Revo needs an iPad for the POS app, and its help centre explains that an iPhone can be used with some limitations.
How much does Food&Service cost compared with Revo?
Revo is contracted through an authorised distributor: a set-up fee and a monthly fee based on the version and devices, with the KDS and add-on apps on top; installation and training follow the distributor's rates. Food&Service has one plan tailored to your venue, with no minimum term, and we give you the final price in the demo, free and with no commitment. To compare, add up what you pay today for the POS, extra devices and each module.
Can I receive Glovo and Uber Eats orders in the POS?
With Food&Service, yes: Glovo and Uber Eats connect directly to the POS, with no other tool in between, and orders go to the kitchen. Revo receives them in the POS with its delivery module; on Glovo, its help centre says that Glovo isn't currently accepting new customers for integrations.
Can I keep taking payments if the internet goes down?
With Revo, according to its website, yes: its offline mode lets you keep working without a connection and syncs orders and transactions when it comes back. Food&Service needs internet: it works on the venue's wifi or on mobile data.
Do Revo and Food&Service comply with VeriFactu?
Both say they are adapted to VeriFactu and TicketBAI. Revo lets you choose between “Verifactu Sí”, with automatic sending to the tax authorities, and “Verifactu No”, with records kept but not sent, and it has published its responsible statement. Spain's tax authorities don't approve software: each manufacturer signs a responsible statement, and the Food&Service one is published on our website. VeriFactu is postponed to October 2028: Spain's Ministry of Finance announced it on 5 October 2026 and it still has to be published in the BOE, Spain's official gazette; until then, the legal dates are 1 January 2027 for companies and 1 July 2027 for everyone else.
How do I switch from Revo to Food&Service?

Before cancelling Revo, check the date of your next invoice: according to its terms, you give the distributor notice at least 30 days before, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.

Estoy encantado con la aplicación y con la atención que he recibido, me han ayudado en todo momento y con una rapidez increíble a mis dudas. Por el momento muy muy recomendable
Enrique Ros
sin duda en mis veinticinco años de hostelería es el mejor programa que he usado que yo recuerde... como cocinero es genial poder tener las comandas en mi tablet a tiempo real.... ya que a la velocidad que el camarero coge la comanda yo veo en la tablet lo que tengo que elaborar... y poquito a poco el sistema de almacén y escandallo es genial.. y no cabe duda y lo más importante el servicio técnico de apoyo 24 horas que son súper amables y atentos
Wabi-Sabi Cuina Japonesa
O atendimento foi excelente desde o início: comercial explica bem os itens inclusos no plano escolhido e depois com a equipe de suporte, no nosso caso foi o Eugenio que nos atendeu, foram rápidos e profissionais. Tudo que temos de duvida ele nos orienta rapidamente e a aplicação é simples e intuitiva de trabalhar.
