NEW HARTFORD, N.Y.,November 13, 2025 — Catering is no longer an afterthought—it’s a $109 billion opportunity. Today, PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR), a leading foodservice technology provider, announced the launch of PAR® Catering, a next-generation solution designed to help restaurants unlock catering opportunities and simplify operations at scale.
The U.S. catering market is projected to grow at a 7.7% CAGR through 2030, with average ticket sizes up to ten times higher than standard transactions. Yet many brands are still juggling spreadsheets and phone calls to manage catering. PAR Catering flips the script with a first-party solution engineered to run catering as seamlessly as daily operations.

With PAR Catering, every feature drives measurable operational and revenue impact:
Centralized Order Desk: Manage all catering orders from one hub across stores, call centers, and online channels.
Order Prioritization & POS Sync: Pushes bookings directly to the POS, keeping kitchens aligned and production on schedule.
Deposits, Pre-Authorization & Auto Tax Exemption: Automate billing, secure upfront payments, and handle tax-exempt orders with ease.
