Overview
PAR POS is the cloud point-of-sale product of PAR Technology Corporation of New Hartford, New York[14][20]. It was previously marketed as Brink POS; PAR recorded an impairment in 2024 for the discontinuance of the Brink POS trademark[14]. PAR describes PAR POS as an open cloud POS that integrates with kiosks, kitchen video systems and enterprise reporting through its integration-partner ecosystem, sold within an “Operator Cloud” alongside PAR Pay, back-office tools and hardware[14].
PAR’s broader portfolio includes Punchh loyalty, PAR Ordering, Data Central and PAR OPS, giving chains a single vendor for POS, engagement and back office[14]. PAR’s 2025 revenue was US$455.5 million, up from US$350.0 million, with subscription services contributing US$291.2 million[14].
PAR POS is aimed at multi-unit quick-service and fast-casual brands and their franchisees rather than single restaurants, and pricing is quote-based. Buyers who need a lightweight self-serve system will find it oversized.
