Proton
A restaurant POS that connects orders, tables, ingredients and profit.
Proton runs service and the numbers behind it: new orders, order status, tables, menu and ingredients, purchases, expenses, staff and reports. The overview shows the month's revenue, cost of goods, gross profit, expenses and net profit at a glance.

01 · The problem
A busy restaurant takes orders at tables and the counter, buys ingredients every day and pays staff and suppliers, often with nothing tying those records together. The owner sees the cash in the drawer, but not what the month actually earned.
Orders and table status tracked on paper slips
Ingredient purchases kept apart from what the menu sells
Profit calculated after the month ends, if at all
02 · What Proton does
Proton puts the order screen and the back office on one system. Staff take dine-in and takeaway orders and follow them to completion, while every purchase and expense feeds the owner's view of cost and profit.
Dine-in orders linked to tables, alongside takeaway
Ingredients and purchase history kept next to the menu

04Questions
Who is Proton for?
Restaurants, cafés, fast-food outlets and other food businesses that serve dine-in and takeaway customers.
How does Proton work out profit?
It subtracts the cost of goods sold from revenue to give gross profit, then subtracts expenses to give net profit, using the orders, purchases and expenses recorded in the system.
How is Proton different from Atom POS?
Both are Hectagon point-of-sale systems. Atom is built for retail counters and stock. Proton is built around restaurant orders, tables and ingredients.
