                         -REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS-
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
             NEW HARTFORD, NY, PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (NYSE:PTC)

New Hartford,  NY--April 29, 2008--PAR Technology  Corporation  (NYSE:PTC) today
announced results from operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

PAR reported  first quarter  revenues of $52.1  million,  a 9% increase over the
$47.8  million  reported in the same period a year ago. A net loss for the first
quarter of $744,000 was reported compared with a net loss of $1.3 million in the
first quarter of 2007. The Company  reported diluted loss per share of $0.05 for
the first  quarter of 2008,  compared to diluted loss per share of $0.09 for the
first quarter of last year.

John W. Sammon, PAR Chairman and CEO commented, "As anticipated, our revenues in
the first quarter of 2008 were impacted by the  continued  third party  software
delays  surrounding  our largest  hospitality  customer.  Additionally,  overall
revenue  in North  America  was  particularly  challenging  for us in the  first
quarter due to traditional  seasonality  issues and the typical  decision delays
leading up to McDonald's  international  convention  which was held earlier this
month. While our first quarter hospitality results were not unexpected,  we were
pleased with the strong  performance of our Government I/T business in the first
quarter."

Sammon commented further, "In our hospitality  technology business,  we continue
to invest in our  growth  strategy  involving  advanced  software  products  and
channel expansion both domestically and  internationally.  With success of these
investments,  we expect to broaden our customer base and improve  profitability.
We continue to enjoy excellent customer  relationships as reflected this quarter
in McDonald's awarding us their Technology Supplier of the Year."

Sammon  concluded by stating,  "We have a strong  foundation  business  with the
largest and most prestigious  accounts in the growing hospitality sector and the
infrastructure to deliver our hospitality  solutions  worldwide.  Our government
business is solid with  consistent  year to year  performance.  We are currently
investing to position our company for future growth and  profitability  and with
an anticipated  improvement in our  McDonald's  business,  we are confident of a
return to profitability this year."
