How Yum Yum Videos Supported Revel Systems’ Growth to $100M+ in ARR — Culminating in a $250M Acquisition by Shift4

Yum Yum Videos produced Revel Systems’ official explainer video to clearly communicate its cloud-based POS platform—supporting enterprise adoption, partner enablement, and investor communication during a key growth phase.


History

In December 2019, Yum Yum Videos produced an official explainer video for Revel Systems, clearly communicating its POS platform for restaurants and retailers.

The video became a core communication asset across digital and partner channels, supporting customer and investor understanding.

Revel later surpassed $100M+ in ARR and was acquired by Shift4 for approximately $250M in 2024.
