                           PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

                        -REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

             NEW HARTFORD, NY, PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (NYSE:PTC)

New Hartford,  NY--July 28, 2009--PAR  Technology  Corporation (NYSE: PTC) today
announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

PAR reported second quarter revenues of $54.5 million,  a 4.8% decrease from the
$57.2 million reported in the same period a year ago. Net income of $238,000 was
reported for the second  quarter  2009,  compared with net income of $674,000 in
the second quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $0.02 for the second
quarter of 2009,  compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.05 for the second
quarter of last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, PAR reported revenues of $114.9 million,
a 5.1%  increase  from the $109.3  million  reported  one year ago.  The Company
reported  net income of  $485,000  for the first six months of 2009 versus a net
loss of  $71,000  reported  for the first six  months of 2008 that  resulted  in
earnings per diluted share of $0.03 in 2009 and $0.00 per diluted share over the
same period in 2008.

John W. Sammon,  PAR Chairman & CEO commented,  "Overall,  we experienced steady
performance  in  this  difficult  economic  environment.  A few  sectors  of our
business  struggled  while the  remaining  filled in to achieve our results.  We
believe the steps taken over the last year  across all our  business  lines have
enabled us to put the Company on solid  footing  allowing  future  growth as the
economy recovers."

Sammon added, "Our Springer-Miller subsidiary (hotels/resorts/spas) continued to
be the most  impacted by the current  recession,  especially  in high end resort
markets. Sales to the independent  table-serve market continue to be challenging
in this economic  environment.  Fortunately,  we have seen continued strength in
certain  segments  of the  quick-serve  restaurant  market  which  traditionally
account for the largest portion of our total business. PAR's government business
again  provided a strong  foundation  for our  business  by  delivering  a solid
quarterly  performance.  Finally, our Logistics Management business continued to
show promise as we added  important  new  accounts in the emerging  "cold chain"
market."
