Par announced last week it would buy Punchh for $500 million. Since then, Par shares are up about 25%.

The stock has gained traction in recent years as the New Hartford, New York-based company turned its attention to hiring a strong workforce and improving its enterprise product offerings, CEO Savneet Singh said in the joint interview.

"Much of the last 18 months to two years has been focusing our capital allocation on software and then really rebuilding the entire management team from, you know, the likes of Google [and] Uber," he said. The company's latest move comes as restaurants juggle customers placing more orders through services such as Uber Eats due to the pandemic while at the same time taking some in-store orders. Shaich said Par's platform can help restaurant operators centralize their systems.

"What Par is now offering is the potential for an integrated system that's plug and play and works far more effectively," he said. "To have one system the heart of the system that flows throughout the restaurant. It's what we've been searching for in building digital systems."
