PROSPECTUS

PAR Technology Corporation

1,474,937 Shares of

Common Stock

This prospectus covers the offer and resale by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus of up to an aggregate of 1,474,937 shares of our common stock. We issued the common stock covered by this prospectus to the selling stockholders as consideration for our recent acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Delaget, LLC.

We are not offering or selling any shares of common stock under this prospectus and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders may offer and sell the shares at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may sell the shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders, the purchasers of the shares, or both.

We are paying the cost of registering the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus as well as various related expenses. We provide more information about how the selling stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of common stock in the section titled “Plan of Distribution” on page 13. The selling stockholders are responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of their shares.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PAR.” The last reported sales price of our common stock on January 3, 2025 was $74.08 per share.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Please read “Risk Factors” on page 6 of this prospectus as well as the risk factors and other information contained in any accompanying prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus, and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

other factors, risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements contained herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our other filings with the SEC and the other information included or incorporated by reference herein and in any accompanying prospectus supplement. We undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities law.

You should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in any prospectus supplement and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein could substantially harm our business, operations, financial condition, financial results and prospects, and that if any of these events occur, it could adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock. Market, industry and other data included in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein are from or based on our own internal good faith estimates and research, and on publicly available publications, research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties, which we believe are reliable, but have not independently verified. Similarly, while we believe our internal estimates and research are reliable, we have not independently verified our internal estimates or research. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any market, industry or other data used by us or expressed in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein, such information, because it has not been verified or, by its nature—market surveys, estimates, projections or similar data—is inherently subject to uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the assumptions and circumstances reflected in this information.

You should read this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made and are not guarantees of future performance.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus covers 1,474,937 shares of common stock issued to the selling stockholders named below to permit each of such selling stockholders to resell such shares, as set forth in the table below, in the manner contemplated under the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus. The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders may sell some, all or none of their shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold their shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale of any of their shares. The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our common stock is traded or in private transactions. As a result, we cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus each of the selling stockholders will own in the future.

The table below sets forth the number of shares of our common stock that each selling stockholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus, as well as each selling stockholder’s beneficial ownership of our common stock prior to and following their sale of shares covered by this prospectus. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or dispositive power with respect to our common stock. None of the selling stockholders currently own more than 1% of our outstanding common stock.

All information with respect to common stock ownership of the selling stockholders was furnished by each of the selling stockholders and is as of January 3, 2025. We believe, based on the information furnished to us, that each of the selling stockholders has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all shares of common stock shown that it beneficially owns.

None of the selling stockholders had any position within, held any office of or had any other material relationship with us or our affiliates during the past three years. The information in the table below regarding shares of common stock to be beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all shares being offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus.

The following is a summary of our capital stock and provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), our bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), and certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. References in this section to “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to PAR Technology Corporation and not to its subsidiaries.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 117,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.02 per share, consisting of 116,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.

Common Stock

As of January 3, 2025, we had 38,717,366 shares of common stock outstanding.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. At any meeting of stockholders, the holders of shares having a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat shall be present or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast on a matter, other than the election of directors, will be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a minimum or other number or amount is provided for such matter by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or other regulatory body, in which case such minimum or other vote will be the required vote of stockholders on such matter. Our directors are elected by a plurality, which means that at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, nominees receiving a plurality of votes cast will be elected directors.

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of any of the Company’s funds legally available when, as and if declared by our board of directors. Further, subject to the rights and preferences of the preferred stock, holders of our common stock share ratably in all assets of the Company in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and the terms of our common stock contain no redemption or sinking fund provisions. The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate in the future.

Preferred Stock

As of January 3, 2025, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by stockholders, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number, rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, liquidation preference and sinking fund terms, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock.

The issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change of control or other corporate action, or make the removal of management more difficult.

Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock.

Except as otherwise provided by Delaware law or by any resolution adopted by our board of directors fixing the rights, preferences and privileges, the qualifications or restrictions of the preferred stock, the entire voting power of the shares of our capital stock for the election of directors and for all other purposes, as well as all other rights pertaining to shares of our capital stock vest exclusively in the common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Registration Rights

In connection with the Acquisition, we issued to the selling stockholders 1,474,937 shares of our common stock. We agreed to register the shares for resale under the Securities Act.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law, Our Certificate of Incorporation, as Amended and Our Bylaws, as Amended

Certain provisions of Delaware law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make the acquisition of the Company more difficult. These provisions of the DGCL could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and are designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate with our board of directors.

Stockholder meetings. Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the board of directors, or the chair of the board of directors or the president pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the then authorized number of directors of the Company may call special meetings of stockholders.

Requirements for advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals. The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors.

Action by written consent. Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, and no action required to be taken or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company may be taken without a meeting except by the unanimous written consent of all stockholders entitled to vote on such action.

Election and removal of directors. Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the board of directors or a committee appointed by the board of directors, or by any stockholder entitled to vote generally in the election of directors who complies with the procedures set forth in the Bylaws. All directors (other than those who may be elected by the holders of any then outstanding preferred stock, voting as a separate class) shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. Each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation, or removal.

The board of directors has the exclusive right to increase or decrease the size of the board of directors, provided such number will not be less than a minimum of three (3) and more than a maximum of 15 directors. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, and any vacancies on the board of directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the board of directors, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office, subject to the limitations set forth in the Bylaws, until the next annual meeting and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. Subject to the rights of the holders of any then outstanding preferred stock any director may be removed from office, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. This system of electing directors may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes replacing a majority of directors more difficult for stockholders.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for the board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to obtain control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of the Company.

Amendment of Provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2⁄3% of all of the shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is required to amend the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation relating to calling special meetings of stockholders, stockholder actions by written consent, the number and election of directors, and director liability.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amendment of Provisions in the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of 66 2⁄3% of the stockholders entitled to vote generally for the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is required to amend the provisions of the Bylaws relating to calling special meetings of stockholders, the advance notice procedures, the number, nomination, election, term, and removal of directors.

Forum Selection Provisions in the Bylaws. The Bylaws provide that unless we select or consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, all complaints asserting any internal corporate claims, which are claims (including claims brought on the Company’s behalf): (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by a current or former director, officer, employee, or stockholder in such capacity; or (ii) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, be made in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, subject matter jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware).

Further, unless we select or consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The choice-of-forum provision in the Bylaws does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act and stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in our common stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum selection provisions described in the Bylaws.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Resales by Selling Stockholders

We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling stockholders issued to such selling stockholders in connection with the Acquisition.

Any or all of the selling stockholders may offer the shares of common stock from time to time, either in increments or in a single transaction. The selling stockholders may also decide not to sell all the shares of common stock they are allowed to sell under this prospectus. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

The term “selling stockholders” also includes persons who obtain common stock from the selling stockholders as a gift, on foreclosure of a pledge, in a distribution or dividend of assets by an entity to its equity holders or partners, as an assignee, transferee or other successor-in-interest, or in another private transaction.

Types of Sale Transactions

The selling stockholders may sell the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices that may be changed. Sales of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders may occur from time to time in one or more of the following types of transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions):

•	through the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange that quotes the common stock;

•	in the over-the-counter market;

•	in underwritten transactions, exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions;

•	in transactions other than on those exchanges or in the over-the-counter market (including negotiated transactions and other private transactions);

•	in short sales (sales of shares completed by delivery of borrowed stock) of the common stock, in transactions to cover short sales or otherwise in connection with short sales;

•	by pledge to secure debts and other obligations or on foreclosure of a pledge;

•	through put or call options, including the writing of exchange-traded call options, or other hedging transactions related to the common stock;

•	in a combination of any of the above transactions; or

•	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

Selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions from time to time in which a selling stockholder may:

•

enter into transactions with a broker-dealer or any other person in connection with which such broker-dealer or other person will engage in short sales of common stock, in which case such broker-dealer or other person may use shares of common stock received from the selling stockholder to close out its short positions;

•	sell common stock short itself and redeliver shares offered by this prospectus to close out its short positions or to close out stock loans incurred in connection with its short positions;

•	enter into option or other types of transactions that require the selling stockholder to deliver common stock to a broker-dealer or any other person, who will then resell or transfer the common stock under this prospectus; or

•	loan or pledge the common stock to a broker-dealer or any other person, who may sell the loaned shares or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged shares under this prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Selling stockholders may use broker-dealers or other persons to sell their shares in transactions that may include one or more of the following:

•	a block trade in which a broker-dealer or other person may resell a portion of the block, as principal or agent, in order to facilitate the transaction;

•	purchases by a broker-dealer or other person, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer or other person for its account; or

•	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers.

Resales by selling stockholders may be made directly to investors or through securities firms acting as underwriters, brokers or dealers. When resales are to be made through a securities firm, the securities firm may be engaged to act as the selling stockholder’s agent in the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder, or the securities firm may purchase shares of our common stock from the selling stockholder as principal and thereafter resell those shares from time to time. The fees earned by or paid to the securities firm may be the normal stock exchange commission or negotiated commissions or underwriting discounts to the extent permissible. The securities firm may resell the securities through other securities dealers, and commissions or concessions to those other dealers may be allowed.

The selling stockholders and any agent, broker or dealer that participates in sales of common stock offered by this prospectus may be deemed “underwriters” under the Securities Act, and any commissions or other consideration received by any agent, broker or dealer may be considered underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

Instead of selling shares of common stock under this prospectus, the selling stockholders may sell shares of common stock in compliance with applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, if available.

Regulation M

We have informed the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to their sales of common stock.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify selling stockholders against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act from the registration of common stock.

Item 15.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and our restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and our amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

Section 145 of the DGCL provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that our certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of (i) a director or officer for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a director under section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) a director or officer for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective.

The Bylaws provide that the registrant shall to the fullest extent permitted by law indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the registrant, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at

II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the request of the registrant as a director or officer, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to become an employee or agent of the registrant, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on such person’s behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful; except that in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the registrant to procure a judgment in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (2) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the registrant unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

The Bylaws also provide that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be paid by the registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the registrant as authorized in the Bylaws.

The Bylaws provide that the foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the registrant and each director and officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. The Bylaws provide that such contract right may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director or officer.

The Bylaws provide that the foregoing indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in the indemnified person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

The Bylaws provide that the registrant shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the Bylaws, provided that such insurance is available on acceptable terms, which determination shall be made by a vote of a majority of the entire board of directors.

The Certificate of Incorporation relieves the registrant’s directors from monetary damages to registrant or its shareholders for breach of such director’s fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the registrant or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for willful or negligent violations of certain provisions in the DGCL imposing certain requirements with respect to stock repurchases, redemptions and dividends, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 17.

Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)	To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement;

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

II-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4)	That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)	Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(l)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)	Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)	Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)	Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser;

(6)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(7)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such

II-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to PAR Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the ”Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the ”Registration Statement”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ”Securities Act”), relating to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named therein of up to 1,474,937 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the ”Common Stock”).

In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock is validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name under the caption “Validity of the Securities” in the Registration Statement and the prospectus that forms a part thereof. In giving these consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,
