Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company” or “PAR”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, such unaudited statements include all adjustments (which comprise only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s December 31, 2014 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, equity based compensation, and valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The current economic conditions and the continued financial volatility in the U.S. and in many other countries in which the Company operates could contribute to decreased consumer confidence and continued economic uncertainty which may adversely impact the Company’s operating performance. The Company continues to see strength in the markets which it serves; however the continued instability in the global economy could have an impact on purchases of the Company’s products, which could result in a reduction of sales, operating income and cash flows. A decline in these results could have a material adverse impact on the underlying estimates used in deriving the fair value of the Company’s reporting units used in support of its annual goodwill impairment test During the quarter ending September 30, 2015, the Company performed a strategic analysis of its current product and business unit offerings and as a result, entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its hotel/spa technology business operated under PAR Springer-Miller Systems, Inc. (“PSMS”) to affiliates of Constellation Software Inc. on November 4, 2015. Accordingly, the results of operations of PSMS have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operation and Cash Flow in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations. Additionally, the assets and associated liabilities have been classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Refer to Note 3 “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” and Note 11 “Subsequent Events” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion, including the terms of the transaction.

Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisition	Note 2 — Acquisition On September 18, 2014 (“close date”), PAR and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ParTech, Inc. ("ParTech"), entered into and closed a definitive agreement with Brink Software Inc. ("Brink") and all the shareholders of Brink pursuant to which ParTech has purchased the equity interest of Brink in a two-step closing. This acquisition was to expand the Company’s cloud based POS software offerings to complement the Company’s existing infrastructure. The guaranteed portion of the purchase price for Brink’s shares will total $10 million in cash, which is payable over a period of two years with $5.0 million paid at closing, $3.0 million payable on the first year anniversary of close, and $2.0 million payable on the second year anniversary of close. In addition to the guaranteed payments, there is a contingent consideration of up to $7.0 million payable to the former owners of Brink based on the achievement of certain financial targets as defined in the definitive agreement. The payment of $5.0 million on September 18, 2014, was for the purchase of 51% of Brink’s outstanding shares. The remaining 49% was purchased and transferred on September 18, 2015, the first anniversary of the initial closing date, for a purchase price of $5.0 million, $3.0 million of which was paid on the second closing and the $2.0 million balance will be payable on September 18, 2016. The estimated fair value of the remaining portion of the note payable due on September 18, 2016 is approximately $1.8 million and is included within current debt in PAR’s consolidated Balance Sheet. Per the stock purchase agreement, Brink shareholders assigned their voting rights of the remaining 49% of Brink shares to PAR. As a result, PAR controlled 100% of the Brink shares prior to the transfer on September 18, 2015 and fully consolidated the financial results of Brink in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The agreement also provided up to $1.0 million of the purchase price to be delivered into escrow if one or more claims arise within the first twelve months of the transaction. Such escrow served as a source of payment for any indemnification obligations that may arise. No such claims arose within the first twelve months of the transaction. The contingent purchase price maximum of $7.0 million can be earned through fiscal year 2018, based upon the achievement of certain conditions as defined in the definitive agreement. The estimated fair value of this contingent consideration is approximately $5.0 million and is included within non-current liabilities in PAR’s consolidated balance sheet. On an unaudited proforma basis, assuming the completed acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented, the consolidated results of the Company would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): For the three months For the nine months Revenues $ 53,259 $ 160,045 Net income from continuing operations $ 503 $ 457 Earnings per share: Basic $ 0.03 $ 0.03 Diluted $ 0.03 $ 0.03 The unaudited proforma financial information presented above gives effect to purchase accounting adjustments which have resulted or are expected to result from the acquisition. This proforma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would actually have been obtained had the companies combined for the periods presents.

The charge has been recognized in the loss from discontinued operations, net of applicable taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The final gain or loss amount on the sale is subject to final working capital and other customary adjustments.

Identifiable intangible assets and Goodwill [Abstract]
Identifiable intangible assets and Goodwill	Note 6 — Identifiable intangible assets and Goodwill The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of computer software sold by its Hospitality segment. Software development costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in research and development costs in the period the costs are incurred. Software development costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility (as defined within ASC 985-20) are capitalized and amortized on a product-by-product basis when the product is available for general release to customers. Software costs capitalized from continuing operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $532,000 and $1,500,000, respectively. Software costs capitalized from continuing operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $394,000 and $1,211,000, respectively. Annual amortization, charged to cost of sales when the product is available for general release to customers, is computed using the greater of (a) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally three to seven years or (b) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product. Amortization of capitalized software costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $221,000 and $615,000, respectively. Amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $164,000 and $471,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $249,000 and $747,000, respectively, of amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable assets from the acquisition of Brink Software that was acquired on September 18, 2014. The Company recorded $31,000 of amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Earnings per share [Abstract]
Earnings per share	Note 8 — Earnings per share Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (EPS). It requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes all dilution and is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Segment and Related Information [Abstract]
Segment and Related Information	Note 9 — Segment and Related Information The Company is organized in three reporting units: Restaurant/Retail, Hotel/Spa, and Government. The Company has identified Government as a separate reportable segment and has aggregated its two Restaurant/Retail/Hotel/Spa reporting units into one reportable segment, Hospitality, as the reporting units share many similar economical characteristics. Management views the Government and Hospitality segments separately in operating its business, as the products and services are different for each segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Hotel/Spa reporting unit is being sold and included within discontinued operations (see note 3). The Company has two reportable segments, Hospitality and Government. The Hospitality segment offers integrated solutions to the hospitality industry. These offerings include industry leading hardware and software applications utilized at the point-of-sale, back of store and corporate office and includes the acquisition of Brink Software. This segment also offers customer support including field service, installation, and twenty-four hour telephone support and depot repair. The Government segment performs complex technical studies, analysis, and experiments, develops innovative solutions, and provides on-site engineering in support of advanced defense, security, and aerospace systems. This segment also provides expert on-site services for operating and maintaining U.S. Government-owned communication assets. Information noted as “Other” primarily relates to the Company’s corporate, home office operations. Information as to the Company's segments is set forth below.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Note 10 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments have been recorded at fair value using available market information and valuation techniques. The fair value hierarchy is based upon three levels of input, which are: Level 1 − quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable) Level 2 − inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable) Level 3 − unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable) The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and debt instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were considered representative of their fair values. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and line of credit at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was based on variable and fixed interest rates at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, for new issues with similar remaining maturities and approximates the respective carrying values at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The deferred compensation assets and liabilities primarily relate to the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows for pre-tax salary deferrals for certain key employees. Changes in the fair value of the deferred compensation liabilities are derived using quoted prices in active markets of the asset selections made by the participants. The deferred compensation liabilities are classified within Level 2, as defined under U.S. GAAP, because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments. The Company holds insurance investments to partially offset the Company’s liabilities under the Deferred Compensation Plan, which are recorded at fair value each period using the cash surrender value of the insurance investments. The Company has obligations, to be paid in cash, to the former owners of Brink Software, based on the achievement of certain conditions as defined in the definitive agreement (see note 2). The fair value of this contingent consideration payable was estimated using a discounted cash flow method, with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity included the Company’s probability assessments of expected future cash flows related to the Company’s acquisition of Brink Software during the contingent consideration period, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement. The liabilities for the contingent consideration were established at the time of acquisition and is evaluated on a quarterly basis based on additional information as it becomes available. Any change in the fair value adjustment is recorded in the earnings of that period. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent payment obligations. Significant increases or decreases in the inputs noted above in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. During the nine month ended September 30, 2015, no adjustments were deemed necissary after evaluation. The following table presents a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Level 3 Inputs Liabilities Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 5,040 New level 3 liability - Total gains (losses) reported in earnings - Transfers into or out of Level 3 - Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 5,040
