Greenhaven Road Capital stated the following regarding PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) in its first quarter 2024 investor letter:

PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) – Let’s start with the acknowledgement that anything with the word “technology” in the name is not 100% inevitable. With that said, PAR has several “ways to win” and I think the next five years will see a compelling transformation resulting in this caterpillar coming out of the cocoon and being valued like a butterfly. PAR’s core business is POS (point of sale) for chain restaurants, which has the benefit of being a very low churn business. Losing less than 5% of locations per year, PAR’s high retention rate means that new customers and new products can drive growth. They are not just spinning their wheels to refill a leaky bucket. Stable base + new customers + new products = Good Business
