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

(New Hartford,  NY- February 14, 2006) PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PTC), a
leader in providing integrated  hardware,  software and service solutions to the
hospitality  industry,  and provider of  Government  I/T solutions and services,
today reported  financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended
December 31, 2005.

For the fourth  quarter  ended  December 31, 2005,  PAR  Technology  Corporation
reported net revenues of $53.5  million  compared to $51.4 million in the fourth
quarter 2004, an increase of 4%. Net income rose 74% to $3.2 million  versus the
$1.9 million  earned in the fourth  quarter one year ago.  The Company  reported
diluted  net income per share of $0.22 for this past  quarter,  compared  to the
$0.13 reported for the same period a year earlier, growing 69%.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, PAR  Technology  Corporation  reported net
revenues of $205.6 million, an 18% increase from the $174.9 million reported one
year ago.  The Company  also  reported net income of $9.4 million in 2005 versus
$5.6 million last year, an increase of 67%. Diluted net income per share in 2005
was  reported at $0.64,  an  increase of 56%  compared to diluted net income per
share of $0.41 reported for the year 2004.

"We are very pleased by our fourth quarter and full-year  results in 2005, which
include  record  revenues  for the  fourth  quarter  and the  entire  year.  Our
continued success is attributed to significant customer retention,  contract and
margin  expansions and core growth across all business lines," commented John W.
Sammon,  Chairman and CEO. "Our hospitality  technology  business  continued its
positive  momentum  for the fourth  quarter  and the year,  posting  revenue and
earnings  growth and adding new accounts like Papa Murphy's  Pizza chain and the
Sanibel Harbour Resort.

"The quarter's results were driven by the continued healthy  performance  across
all segments of the hospitality technology market and by the improved margins we
have been realizing due to the increase in software  revenues.  We closed on our
acquisition of PixelPoint  Technologies this past October and strongly feel this
is a natural progression for our business as we now can market specific software
products   to   the   table   service   restaurant   segment   of   hospitality.
Internationally, we will continue to facilitate our customer's new store growth,
specifically in the Asia/Pacific  region. The international  segment experienced
strong growth both for the quarter and the year."


Sammon  continued "Our government I/T services  business also had strong results
in 2005. During the quarter we signed agreements to operate a Navy communication
facility  in Lago  Patria,  Italy,  which  marked an  expansion  of our  current
relationship  in the  European  theatre.  In 2005 we also  extended our existing
program outside the military  specifically with contract awards from the General
Services Administration and the International Broadcasting Bureau."

"As PAR Technology  enters its next phase of growth and business  opportunities,
it is extremely  gratifying  to look back on what our  employees  have  achieved
during the past two  years,"  said  Sammon in  closing.  "Our team has created a
leading  competitive  position  in  hospitality  technology  that  combines  our
superior design and customer service skills, including our intimate knowledge of
hospitality  markets with an intense focus on meeting our customers' needs. As a
result, we are now in a position to grow our leadership  position in the various
hospitality markets we have identified."
