PAR Technology Introduces PAR Catering to Modernize Restaurant Catering Operations Amid Market Growth

PAR Technology Corporation, a foodservice technology provider, has launched PAR® Catering, a new solution designed to help restaurants manage and scale their catering operations. This introduction comes as the U.

S. catering market, valued at $109 billion, is projected to grow at a 7.7% compound annual growth rate through 2030, with average ticket sizes up to ten times higher than standard transactions.

The current landscape often sees restaurant brands managing catering orders through manual methods such as spreadsheets and phone calls. PAR Catering aims to provide a first-party solution that integrates catering management seamlessly with daily operations, differing from add-on tools by being engineered from the kitchen outwards.

The new platform offers a Centralized Order Desk to manage all catering orders across various channels, including in-store, call centers, and online. It incorporates Order Prioritization & POS Sync, which directly pushes bookings to the point-of-sale system, ensuring kitchen alignment and production scheduling. Financial features include automated Deposits, Pre-Authorization, and Auto Tax Exemption to streamline billing, secure upfront payments, and manage tax-exempt transactions.

Operational visibility is enhanced with Real-Time Prep & Scheduling Visibility, allowing operators to monitor live preparation status and kitchen capacity for accurate and timely execution. For customer convenience, the system provides Headcount-Based Recommendations & Smart Bundles, displaying per-person pricing and complete meal options. Additionally, CRM & Account Management features are included to foster repeat business through account tracking, loyalty integration, and one-click reordering.

Savneet Singh, CEO of PAR Technology, stated, “We didn’t just add catering—we rethought it entirely. With PAR Catering, we’re empowering operators to scale their catering programs with confidence, backed by the reliability and innovation that define PAR. Our platform streamlines every step, helping brands deliver exceptional guest experiences and realize measurable growth from day one.”
