PAR Technology Raises Fiscal 2026 Outlook
The restaurant and hospitality software maker lifted its revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance after third-quarter growth of 15%.
Updated on Nov. 7, 2026 in Hospitality
PAR Technology raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook to $57.9 million-$59.4 million and its revenue range to $532.5 million-$536.5 million, announced Nov. 5, 2026. The update followed third-quarter revenue of $137.1 million, up 15% year over year.
Why it matters
The revised forecast reflects stronger operating results for a company that supplies software, hardware and services to restaurant and hospitality operators across the United States. Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA rose to $17.1 million from $5.8 million a year earlier, indicating improved profitability alongside top-line growth.
Third-quarter GAAP net loss from continuing operations narrowed to $9 million from $18.2 million a year earlier, based on company-reported results. The company did not provide a forward-looking GAAP net loss estimate.

Market Landscape
PAR Technology sells into the restaurant and hospitality technology segment, where operators increasingly rely on integrated software and hardware systems. The revised forecast suggests demand for these tools remained strong into late 2026.
Restaurant operators using PAR's point-of-sale and management systems may see the company's expanded product and service capacity reflected in future platform investment. The company's stronger profitability could influence the stability of its software and service offerings.
