NEW HARTFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ParTech, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PTC), today launched its new sixth-generation POS hardware platform, PAR EverServ™ Series 6000 POS, at FS/TEC 2009 in Orlando, FL. ParTech, a company transforming the hospitality technology sector, is a leading provider of software and hardware solutions to restaurants, hotels, spas and retail industries. FS/TEC is the Foodservice industry’s largest technology expo.

“We are very enthusiastic about this new technology platform and the addition of the EverServ Series 6000 to our roster of product offerings”

The patent pending PAR EverServ Series 6000 POS design combines flexibility, scalability, and durability in a smart, compact terminal. This next generation hardware offering provides peak performance with powerful processors for improved graphics and increased speed of service. By design, EverServ Series 6000 is easy to service, and its energy-saving features and rugged architecture contribute to a low total cost of ownership and long product lifespan.

				Greater Flexibility and Ease of Use
				PAR EverServ Series 6000 POS’s touch panel can operate independently of the counter pedestal. The flat panel POS’s multiple mounting options allow it to meet many different space constraints and perform a variety of business functions. The standalone touch panel can also serve as multimedia digital signage displaying promotional information, or as a customer-use kiosk.

				Higher Performance with Lower Power Consumption
				EverServ Series 6000 employs the latest Microsoft® and Intel® technologies to provide faster processing that’s capable of handling even the most complex software applications. The terminal’s advanced energy saving features dramatically reduce overall power consumption for a lower total cost of ownership.

				Easier Serviceability
				EverServ Series 6000 provides easier serviceability, lower service costs and maximum uptime because of a smart design. The pedestal, internal hard drive and power supply can all be accessed without tools. Easy I/O port access simplifies connections to printers and other peripherals.

				Durable by Design
				EverServ Series 6000 leverages the latest industrial design with an ultra-durable, shock and spill resistant casing that can withstand the toughest environments. Cabling is minimized and tucked away to reduce clutter and accidental failures. Innovative architecture keeps the unit cooler during operation, increasing its reliability.

				Versatile Technology
				EverServ Series 6000 is easily expandable, with advanced options such as RAID capability for real-time backup, biometric fingerprint and iButton security sign-in, expanded I/O connectivity, and wireless capability. EverServ Series 6000 provides advanced technology today with the ability to add greater functionality tomorrow.

				Improved Customer-Facing Features
				EverServSeries 6000 offers multiple promotion options including a 7” multimedia display and a large transparent display case for print advertising. The unit’s integrated 4 line x 20 character customer display increases order accuracy and a magnetic stripe reader that allows customers to swipe their own payment cards improves the transaction experience by enhancing the customer’s sense of security.

				EverServ Peripherals
				To complete any point-of-sale implementation, PAR offers a line of peripherals including printers, cash drawers, customer displays, barcode scanners, coin changers, and more. All of the peripheral products we sell are selected and tested to work with our point of sale terminals and application software.

“We are very enthusiastic about this new technology platform and the addition of the EverServ Series 6000 to our roster of product offerings,” commented Ed Soladay, President of ParTech, Inc. “The introduction of this hardware technology is in line with the business strategies we've put in motion to provide new technologies, products and services that offer appealing solutions for world wide restaurant and hospitality organizations through the utilization of solid technology, rich features and functions and industry leading reliability.”

PAR brings an in-depth understanding of real-world technology deployments, developed from decades of experience as a leading point-of-sale (POS) vendor, to provide a product that will continue to perform well throughout a long product lifespan.”

“PAR’s EverServ 6000 is significantly faster at processing orders and servicing customers than older equipment, ensuring our employees can take orders faster, process credit cards more quickly and ultimately improve customer service,” says early adopter Rob Spurlock, Director, POS Systems at Michigan Pizza Hut – a 46 store Pizza Hut franchise. “Customers are often surprised to see how technically advanced we are at Michigan Pizza Hut. With PAR’s EverServ 6000 we are able to operate and manage our multiple store operation more efficiently by serving more customers in a shorter period of time. PAR’s terminal allows for quick transitions to every menu screen that speeds up order transactions. Add to that PAR’s superior record of reliability, life-cycle support capabilities, and a lower energy usage requirement, makes the EverServ6000 a smart business decision for our restaurants and our Company.”
