July 8, 2026 7:30 AM

PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR) announced that Gold Star Chili, a Cincinnati-style chili chain with more than 55 locations across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, has expanded its use of PAR's platform by adding PAR Ordering and PAR Pay to its existing suite of PAR Hardware, PAR POS, and PAR Punchh loyalty software.



The expansion builds on an existing loyalty partnership between the two companies. With the addition of PAR Ordering and PAR Pay, Gold Star Chili now operates on a fully unified PAR technology stack that connects digital ordering, point-of-sale, payments, and loyalty data across its locations.



PAR Ordering provides a branded web and mobile ordering experience integrated with PAR Punchh, allowing customers to earn and redeem loyalty rewards whether ordering online or in person. PAR Pay brings payment processing into the same platform, giving the chain a consolidated view of guest transactions across all channels.



"PAR's platform gives us what we've been looking for: loyalty, POS, payments, and digital ordering all working as one, with the intelligence to turn that data into better decisions at every location," said Gold Star President and CEO Roger David.



Savneet Singh, CEO of PAR Technology, said the unified platform is designed to simplify operations and improve visibility across transactions for regional brands like Gold Star, which has operated since 1965.
