In 1968, five visionaries with deep expertise in mathematics and engineering founded PAR Technology with a mission to solve complex technical challenges. What began as Pattern Recognition Technology evolved over five decades into a global restaurant technology powerhouse, serving over 100,000 restaurants across more than 110 countries. The company reached a pivotal moment in 2021 when CEO Savneet Singh orchestrated a remarkable turnaround, transforming PAR from a struggling legacy hardware business into a thriving cloud software and unified restaurant technology platform leader.
Today, PAR powers unified, purpose-built technology that helps restaurants and retailers do what they do best: create lasting connections with their guests. The company's comprehensive platform integrates point-of-sale systems, omnichannel ordering, loyalty programs, back-office operations, payment processing, and industry-leading hardware solutions. Through strategic acquisitions like Punchh and a relentless focus on innovation, PAR has become where performance comes together - enabling brands to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive growth in an increasingly digital-first restaurant landscape.
