Here is what Richie Capital Group has to say about PAR Technology Corporation in its Q4 2021 investor letter:
“Par Technology (PAR – down 13.0%) – The restaurant Point of Sale (POS) software provider declined 13% during the quarter with seemingly few negative catalysts. Two Par subsidiaries (Government Systems and Rome Research) secured major government contracts ($15.2M and $490.4M) for the U.S. Navy and Air Force respectively. Additionally, PAR announced a new partnership with GoGoGuest to incorporate their AI and data driven customer intelligence systems into the Brink POS system. Par had a mixed earnings call reporting an increase in active subscribers along with ASP declines. However, their Annual Recurring Revenue increased over 100% and they recorded the highest number of Brink POS activations in PAR history including Jack in the Box and 13 other new customer logos. The company is also gaining traction with Par Pay. Par Technology is hitting on all cylinders, and we believe there is much more ahead.”
