NEW HARTFORD, N.Y. — PAR Technology (NYSE: PAR) announced it has acquired MENU Technologies AG, a growing Switzerland–based company that offers an omnichannel ordering solution for international restaurant brands.
The MENU acquisition adds an online-ordering component to PAR’s suite of unified commerce solutions. PAR did not disclose financial terms of the acquisition.
“Today, restaurants are overwhelmed with disparate technologies that are devoid of the connectivity or intelligence that a unified solution offers,” Savneet Singh, PAR Technology CEO and president, said in a news release. “The acquisition of MENU allows PAR to consolidate a restaurant’s off-premise and on-premise orders into one unified techstack. Restaurants will now have a unified, data-driven network from the point of order to the kitchen, and all the way through fulfillment, allowing their teams to focus on delivering a better guest experience, instead of wasting time on vendor management.”
