Or at least, have “it all” worked together so well that the experience becomes unified? If you have followed PAR Technology over the past several months, you may have heard about the company moving towards building a Unified Experience of all facets of the modern restaurant experience. A Unified Experience in the restaurant landscape refers to having all of the technology needed to support a modern restaurant seamlessly integrating to offer a frictionless experience for all parties involved (i.e., restaurant, employees, and guests). Today’s consumers expect faster, better, and overall more convenient experiences in any type of commercial transaction, and nowhere has this been more apparent than in the food-service industry. More and more technology companies have entered the picture to solve various expectations of consumers, and related needs from businesses. ![PAR](https://info.partech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PAR%20Logo-1.png?width=45&name=PAR%20Logo-1.png) [PAR](https://info.partech.com/blog/author/par) [Read More](https://info.partech.com/blog/unified-experience) ![](https://info.partech.com/hubfs/Picture3.jpg) [Loyalty,](https://info.partech.com/blog/tag/loyalty) [Convenience Store](https://info.partech.com/blog/tag/convenience-store) ### [NACS 2022: Trending Tech at this Year’s Premier C-Store Conference](https://info.partech.com/blog/nacs-2022) Oct 5, 2022 3:41:26 PM   [Brittany Maroney](https://info.partech.com/blog/author/brittany-maroney) [Read More](https://info.partech.com/blog/nacs-2022) ![](https://info.partech.com/hubfs/IMG_0589.jpg) ### [The Magic is Back at FSTEC 2022](https://info.partech.com/blog/the-magic-is-back-at-fstec-2022) Sep 29, 2022 9:19:16 AM ### There was a sense of optimism, excitement, and wonder at this year’s event, as operators are now shedding the mad scramble of the past two years and looking with confidence and enthusiasm at the new world of restaurant tech. There was a different sort of feeling walking into the grand atrium of the Gaylord Texan Resort this year. Smiles and greetings filled the air, as unmasked faces breathed a sigh of relief that hadn’t been felt in a little over two years.   ![PAR](https://info.partech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PAR%20Logo-1.png?width=45&name=PAR%20Logo-1.png) [PAR](https://info.partech.com/blog/author/par) [Read More](https://info.partech.com/blog/the-magic-is-back-at-fstec-2022) ![](https://www.partech.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/220422_par_singh_362T.jpg) ### [PAR Technology Acquires Digital Ordering Company MENU Technologies to Expand its Unified Commerce Offerings](https://info.partech.com/blog/par-technology-acquires-digital-ordering-company-menu-technologies-to-expand-its-unified-commerce-offerings) Aug 29, 2022 9:45:00 PM On August 9th, 2022 PAR Technology Inc.

Nonetheless, this task is necessary to keep pace with the competition and customer demand as well as deliver the ideal staff and customer experience. According to a [recent survey](https://www.smallbizgenius.net/by-the-numbers/restaurant-industry-statistics/), 95% of restaurant owners say using technology improves the overall efficiency of their restaurant. However, managing outdated technology presents large up-front costs that reduce the capital for brands to grow and innovate as well as cause downtime that creates a poor guest experience which inevitably leads to lost revenue. [Hospitality Technology’s 2021 Restaurant Technology Study](https://hospitalitytech.com/restaurant-technology-study-2021?from=gate) found that the average restaurant IT budget is 2% of revenue and 54% of that budget goes to maintaining existing solutions. Restaurant, retail, convenience, and entertainment operations do not possess the technical resources, expertise, or desire to manage their technology and need solutions designed for the present but ready for the future. ![Jaclyn Grace](https://info.partech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Jaclyn_web_002.jpg?width=45&name=Jaclyn_web_002.jpg) [Jaclyn Grace](https://info.partech.com/blog/author/jaclyn-grace) [Read More](https://info.partech.com/blog/stress-less-about-restaurant-technology-maintenance-with-par-infinity) ![](https://info.partech.com/hubfs/blog-food-people-nothing-in-between-1280x853.jpg) ### [How PAR Technologies Values and Goals Align with your Restaurant’s Future](https://info.partech.com/blog/how-par-technologies-values-and-goals-align-with-your-restaurants-future) Aug 29, 2022 9:06:36 PM If you are familiar with PAR Technology, then you have heard the slogan: “Food. People. Nothing in Between.” It’s a phrase we use a lot. One that has meaning and defines our philosophies around our place in the larger restaurant landscape, but it’s also a term to use to guide us in how we serve and collaborate with our partners. It’s a simple statement in a world with enduring complexities. ![Jaclyn Grace](https://info.partech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Jaclyn_web_002.jpg?width=45&name=Jaclyn_web_002.jpg) [Jaclyn Grace](https://info.partech.com/blog/author/jaclyn-grace) [Read More](https://info.partech.com/blog/how-par-technologies-values-and-goals-align-with-your-restaurants-future) [1](https://info.partech.com/blog) [2](https://info.partech.com/blog/page/2) [3](https://info.partech.com/blog/page/3) [4](https://info.partech.com/blog/page/4) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/parpointofsale) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/partechnology) [Follow us on Twitter](https://www.twitter.com/PAR_Tech) [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/partechnology/) ![](https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/958690546/?value=0&guid=ON&script=0)
