            PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

        -----------------------------------------------------------------

             NEW HARTFORD, NY, PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (NYSE:PTC)

New Hartford,  NY- October 23, 2007 PAR Technology  Corporation  (NYSE:  PTC), a
provider  of  integrated  hardware,   software  and  service  solutions  to  the
restaurant,  hotel/resort,  hospitality  industries  and  information-technology
services to the United States Government, today reported third quarter financial
results.

For the third  quarter  ended  September 30, 2007,  PAR  Technology  Corporation
reported  revenues  of $51.6  million  compared  to $48.5  million  in the third
quarter  2006,  an increase of 6.3%. A net loss was  reported of $862,000,  down
from the $550,000 earned in the third quarter one year ago. The Company reported
diluted loss per share of $0.06 for this past  quarter,  compared to the diluted
earnings per share of $0.04 reported for the same period a year earlier.

For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2007,  PAR  Technology  Corporation
reported revenues of $149.3 million, a 3.4% decrease when compared to the $154.5
million  reported  one year ago.  The Company  also  reported a net loss of $3.2
million in the first nine months of 2007  versus net income of $4.9  million for
the first nine months of 2006.  Diluted loss per share for the first nine months
of 2007 was reported at $0.22, compared to diluted net income per share of $0.33
reported for the same period in 2006.

John  W.  Sammon,  Chairman  and  CEO of PAR  Technology  commented,  "Generally
speaking,  the Q3 numbers were within  expectations.  We continued to make solid
strategic  progress this quarter in our ongoing  internal  investment  strategy.
This strategy  requires effort and resources but when completed will result in a
stronger  company  that is more  prepared  to compete  on a global  basis in our
industry."  Sammon went on to say,  "While not satisfied  with our third quarter
results we have returned to growing  revenues which highlights the resilience of
our  franchise  in  hospitality  technology.  With a broad  array of  technology
products designed for the hospitality  industry, we believe PAR is positioned to
capitalize  on  evolving  market  demand.  Our focus  remains  on the design and
delivery of innovative products, the addition of channel partners, and producing
global operational excellence."
