New Hartford, N.Y. — Papa Johns has selected PAR POS™ and PAR OPS™ from PAR Technology Corporation to anchor its next-generation U.S. in-restaurant technology stack. The strategic partnership is a major milestone in Papa Johns’ multi-year effort to build a faster, more intelligent and connected restaurant and digital ordering experience for guests, operators and franchisees.
“At Papa Johns, one of our strategic priorities is investing in and optimizing our technology to deliver a better experience,” says Kevin Vasconi, chief digital and technology officer, Papa Johns. “A key element of that strategy is reducing complexity, driving efficiency and accelerating innovation to improve our in-restaurant operations. PAR Technology’s integrated solutions give us the scale, performance and support infrastructure needed to run our business better and help our restaurant teams deliver every day.”
Papa Johns will transition from its legacy on-premise systems to PAR’s enterprise solutions. PAR POS and PAR OPS will bring front-of-house ordering, make-line operations, above-restaurant management, as well as AI-powered labor, inventory and restaurant management on one platform. Real-time shared data, a consistent interface and unified support will enable teams to operate with greater discipline and deliver a more consistent guest experience. Papa Johns plans to integrate PAR’s enterprise solutions with its standard store technology configuration, which significantly reduces deployment costs.
“Utilizing PAR’s front- and back-of-house solutions gives Papa Johns real-time insight, operational control and the foundation required for intelligent automation,” says Savneet Singh, CEO of PAR Technology. “Our mission is to simplify operations at scale and empower restaurants to create exceptional guest experiences. We’re ready to support Papa Johns as they scale for the future with PAR.”
The partnership aligns with Papa Johns’ broader technology transformation strategy, including expanded use of AI and analytics through its Google Cloud partnership.
A full system rollout is planned across all U.S. corporate and franchise locations by the end of 2027.
