Description: PAR PAR Technology January 11, 2026
PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR) delivers an omnichannel, cloud-based suite of hardware and software solutions aimed at the restaurant, convenience-store, and broader entertainment-venue markets. Founded in 1968 and headquartered in New Hartford, NY, the firm operates under two primary clouds-ENGAGEMENT CLOUD (loyalty, e-commerce, digital engagement) and OPERATOR CLOUD (POS, payments, operational analytics).
Its product lineup includes the PUNCHH loyalty platform, PAR ORDERING e-commerce suite, PAR RETAIL digital engagement tools, and the PLEXURE international loyalty service, complemented by core POS hardware (terminals, tablets, drive-thru and kitchen display systems) and ancillary peripherals such as wireless headsets and kiosks. The company also monetizes services like installation, training, and technical support, creating recurring revenue streams beyond hardware sales.
In FY 2023, PAR reported approximately $1.0 billion in revenue, with subscription-based SaaS ARR expanding ~20% year-over-year and now representing roughly 45% of total revenue-a key indicator of recurring earnings stability. The restaurant sector’s shift toward digital ordering and contactless payments remains a primary growth driver, though the pace is moderating as pandemic-era acceleration normalizes; labor-cost pressures and inflationary input costs continue to shape customer spending patterns.
For a deeper quantitative breakdown of PAR’s valuation metrics, the ValueRay platform offers a concise, data-rich snapshot worth reviewing.
