Frequently asked questions

Who is Proteus built for?

Proteus is built for restaurants that want a simpler way to manage purchasing, inventory, vendors, and purchase orders without adopting a large restaurant ERP system.

Do I need a POS integration?

No. Proteus can operate independently of your POS. You can use the purchasing module without replacing or integrating with your existing point-of-sale system.

Can I manage multiple vendors?

Yes. Proteus is designed to keep your vendors and the products you purchase from them organized so your team can build and manage orders more efficiently.

Is Proteus difficult for my staff to learn?

The goal is to keep the purchasing workflow simple and practical. Your team should be able to understand what needs to be ordered, who it should be ordered from, and the status of an order without navigating a complicated system.

What happens after the 30-day trial?

If Proteus is a good fit for your restaurant, your subscription continues at $99/month for a single location. If it isn't the right fit, you can cancel before the trial ends.
