Par Technology Corporation
A restaurant-technology company, PAR Technology builds the cloud-based software and point-of-sale terminals used by fast-food and table-service chains, including its Brink POS system and the Punchh loyalty program. Founded in 1968 in New Hartford, New York as a defense contractor, its name comes from Pattern Analysis and Recognition, and it pivoted to restaurants in the 1970s by selling McDonald's its early microprocessor-based PAR 1 cash registers.
