PAR Technology launches PAR Catering, transforming restaurant catering with integrated workflow automation

GLOBAL – PAR Technology has introduced PAR Catering, an in-house solution designed to help restaurants scale catering operations smoothly.

Unlike add-on tools, PAR Catering is natively built into PAR’s ecosystem, streamlining the entire catering lifecycle from order capture to preparation, payment, and delivery.

The platform centralizes catering orders from various sources, including stores, call centers, and online, into a single hub for cohesive management.

Orders are seamlessly pushed to POS systems, ensuring kitchens receive real-time production info to stay on schedule.

Automated billing includes upfront payments and tax-exempt transaction handling, reducing manual workload and errors.

PAR Catering offers live prep tracking and kitchen capacity monitoring to enhance accuracy and fulfill orders on time.

Customers benefit from per-person pricing, complete meal options, loyalty program integration, and easy reordering with a single click, improving user experience.

CEO Savneet Singh emphasizes the platform’s role in empowering operators with confidence to scale their catering programs efficiently, delivering remarkable guest experiences and measurable revenue growth from day one.

In September, PAR unveiled PAR AI, an embedded intelligence suite within its product line that offers real-time operational enhancements without requiring additional apps or training.

The AI suite complements PAR Catering by automating insights and simplifying complex workflows, underlining PAR’s commitment to innovation in hospitality technology.

PAR Technology has introduced several innovative solutions in 2025 that enhance hospitality management beyond PAR Catering.

Its flagship PAR POS system, rebranded from Brink POS, now boasts AI-driven automation for faster service, particularly in drive-thru operations, with multi-lane order sequencing and intelligent kitchen coordination boosting throughput and reducing manual labor.

The platform supports diverse payment options including QR Code Pay-at-Table, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and integrated EBT, alongside advanced loyalty program integrations for seamless guest engagement.

The company is building a robust data platform underpinning AI and machine learning across its product ecosystem, enabling predictive intelligence for optimized workflows and real-time decision-making.

Its API-first approach allows for deep integrations of kiosks, digital menu boards, and third-party tools, ensuring continuous operation even during connectivity disruptions.

Complementing these is PAR AI, an embedded intelligence suite with Coach AI offering managers instant insights and automation across POS, loyalty, payments, and back-office functions, eliminating manual data analysis and improving operational agility.

This suite empowers restaurants to evolve operations with intelligent automation, driving faster, smarter, and more adaptive guest experiences.
