Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company” or “PAR,” “we,” or “us”), through its consolidated subsidiaries, operates in two segments - the Restaurant/Retail segment and the Government segment. The Restaurant/Retail segment provides leading technology platforms to the restaurant and retail industries. We provide enterprise restaurants, franchisees, and other restaurant outlets in the three major restaurant categories - quick service, fast casual, and table service - with operational efficiencies by offering them a comprehensive suite of subscription services, hardware, and professional services. Our subscription services are grouped into three categories: Guest Engagement, which includes Punchh for customer loyalty and engagement and MENU for omnichannel digital ordering and delivery; Operator Solutions, which includes Brink POS for front-of-house and PAR Pay and PAR Payment Services for payments; and Back Office, which includes Data Central. The Government segment provides technical expertise and development of advanced systems and software solutions for the Department of Defense ("DoD") and other federal agencies, as well as satellite command and control, communication, and IT mission systems at several DoD facilities worldwide. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("financial statements") include the Company's accounts and those of its consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements of PAR Technology Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements as promulgated by the SEC. In the opinion of management, the Company's financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and to provide a fair presentation of the Company's financial results for the interim period included in this Quarterly Report. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any future periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”). Revenue and Cost of Sales Presentation Changes Beginning with the 2022 Annual Report, we have retroactively split our "Service" financial statement line items ("FSLIs"), presented in the consolidated statements of operations under "Revenues, net" and "Cost of sales", into two FSLIs, "Subscription Service" and "Professional Service", to provide clearer insight into these operationally and economically different revenue streams in light of recent acquisitions. This split did not change historical revenue or cost of sales previously reported. We also renamed our "Product" FSLI, presented in the consolidated statements of operations under "Revenue, net" and "Cost of sales", to "Hardware", to better describe this revenue stream. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to these estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, the recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at fair value, the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment including right-to-use assets and liabilities, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, credit losses for receivables, valuation of excess and obsolete inventories, and measurement of contingent consideration at fair value. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Contingent Consideration The acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of MENU Technologies AG ("MENU") in July 2022 (the "MENU Acquisition") was determined using Monte-Carlo simulation valuation techniques, with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The simulation uses probability distribution for each significant input to produce hundreds or thousands of possible outcomes and the results are analyzed to determine probabilities of different outcomes occurring. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent post-closing revenue focused milestones obligation. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. The amount paid that is less than or equal to the liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in financing activities in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Any amount paid in excess of the liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in operating activities. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $5.2 million adjustment to decrease the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the MENU Acquisition from $9.8 million as of December 31, 2022 to $4.6 million as of March 31, 2023. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Held on Behalf of Customers Cash and cash equivalents and cash held on behalf of customers consist of the following:

The Company maintained bank balances that, at times, exceeded the federally insured limit during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has not experienced losses relating to these deposits and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to these amounts. Short-Term Investments The carrying value of investment securities consist of the following:

Short-term investments |  |  |
Treasury bills and notes | 40,753 |  |  | 40,290 |
Total short-term investments | $ | 40,753 |  |  | $ | 40,290 |
The Company did not record any material gains or losses on these securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The estimated fair value of these securities approximated their carrying value as of March 31, 2023. Other assets Other assets includes the cash surrender value of life insurance related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan eligible to certain employees. The funded balance is reviewed on an annual basis. The balance of the life insurance policies was $3.3 million and $3.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Other Long-Term Liabilities Other liabilities represent amounts owed to employees that participate in the Company’s deferred compensation plan and contingent consideration recognized in conjunction with the MENU Acquisition (refer to “Contingent Consideration” above for additional information). Amounts owed to employees participating in the deferred compensation plan were $1.6 million and $1.7 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Related Party Transactions During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Act III Management LLC (“Act III Management”), a service company to the restaurant, hospitality, and entertainment industries, provided software development and restaurant technology consulting services to the Company pursuant to a master development agreement. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, Ronald Shaich, the sole member of Act III Management, served as a strategic advisor to the Company's board of directors pursuant to a strategic advisor agreement. Keith Pascal, a director of the Company, is an employee of Act III Management and serves as its vice president and secretary. Mr. Pascal does not have an ownership interest in Act III Management. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had zero accounts payable owed to Act III Management. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company paid Act III Management $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for services performed under the master development and strategic advisor agreements.
