Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Commitment to Lend and Warrant to Acquire During 2019, the Company, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, executed an interest-bearing loan and commitment agreement with another entity. The Company has loaned the entity a total of $3.5 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, with a commitment to loan up to a total of $10.0 million based on certain growth metrics of the entity and continued compliance by the entity with the terms and covenants of the agreement. The Company's commitment to make additional advances under the loan agreement is dependent upon such advances not conflicting with covenants or restrictions under any of the Company's debt or other applicable agreements. Amounts loaned to this entity by the Company are secured by substantially all of the assets of the entity and by a personal guarantee. The note receivable has an interest rate of 12.0% per annum and is repayable in full in May 2024. The Company also received a warrant to purchase a non-controlling interest in this entity's equity at a fixed amount. The loan agreement also gives the Company certain rights to purchase some or all of this entity's equity in the future, at the entity's then-current fair value. The fair values of the warrant, loan commitment, and purchase right were not material at inception or at June 30, 2021. Equity-Method Investment During the first quarter of 2020, the Company wrote off its $0.2 million carrying value in an equity-method investment. This loss is reported as a component of other expenses, net on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. PHOT Preferred Unit Redemption - Distribution to Non-Controlling Interests In February 2019, Priority Hospitality Technology, LLC ("PHOT"), a subsidiary of the Company, received a contribution of substantially all of the operating assets of eTab, LLC ("eTab") and CUMULUS POS, LLC ("Cumulus") under asset contribution agreements. PHOT is a part of the Company's Integrated Partners reportable segment. No material liabilities were assumed by PHOT. These contributed assets were composed substantially of technology-related assets. Prior to these transactions, eTab was 80.0% owned by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). No cash consideration was paid to the contributors of the eTab or Cumulus assets on the date of the transactions. As consideration for these contributed assets, the contributors were issued redeemable non-controlling preferred equity interests ("NCIs") in PHOT. Under these redeemable NCIs, the contributors were eligible to receive up to $4.5 million of profits earned by PHOT, plus a preferred yield (6.0% per annum) on any undistributed preferred equity interest ("Total Preferred Equity Interest"). Once the Total Preferred Equity Interest is distributed to the holders, the redeemable NCIs cease to exist. The Company's CEO initially owned 83.3% of the redeemable NCIs, which ownership interest was subsequently reduced to 35.3% through the CEO’s disposition of interests to others. At the time of contribution, the Company determined that the contributor’s carrying value of the eTab and Cumulus net assets (as a common control transaction under GAAP) were not material. Under the guidance for a common control transaction, the contribution of the eTab and Cumulus net assets did not result in a change of entity or the receipt of a business, therefore the Company’s financial statements for prior periods were not adjusted to reflect the historical results attributable to the eTab net assets. For the period from February 1, 2019 through October 31, 2020, a total of $250,000 of PHOT’s earnings were attributable to the NCIs of PHOT, and this same amount was distributed in cash to the NCIs during the same period. In November 2020, the Company agreed with the contributors to an exchange of shares of common stock of the Company, or cash, for the remaining undistributed Total Preferred Equity Interests of $4.8 million. An exchange valuation for the Company’s common stock was established as of November 12, 2020 at the prior 20-day volume weighted average price of $2.78 per share. The exchange was contingent upon receiving approval of the Company’s lenders; therefore, the binding exchange agreements were not entered into until after lender approval was received in April 2021 in connection with the Refinancing. In May 2021, the Company entered into exchange agreements and completed the exchange of 1,428,358 shares of common stock and $814,219 of cash for the Total Preferred Equity Interests. The CEO received 605,623 shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for his 35.3% interest, and the Company’s Executive Vice President of M&A and Corporate Development received 413,081 shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for her 24.1% interest. Subsequent to establishing the common stock valuation in November 2020 and the date of exchange in May 2021, the Company’s common stock price appreciated to $7.75 per share. The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2021 reflect this exchange as a distribution to non-controlling interests at an appreciated common stock value of $6.975 per share, which incorporates a 10% liquidity discount of $0.775 per share due to trading restrictions under Securities Rule 144. Therefore, the total distribution amounted to $10.8 million, comprised of $10.0 million of common stock and $0.8 million of cash.
