Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”).

The results of operations of the Company's Government segment are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. All results and information in the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as continuing operations and exclude the Government segment unless otherwise noted specifically as discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

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 and asset acquisitions at fair value, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, valuation allowances for receivables, classification of discontinued operations, valuation of excess and obsolete inventories, and measurement of contingent consideration at fair value. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which updates the accounting for internal-use software by enhancing disclosure requirements and replacing the previous stage-based guidance with a principles-based framework. The ASU removes all references to distinct development stages and requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs once (i) management has authorized and committed funding for the project, and (ii) it is probable that the software will be completed and used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
