Exhibit 99.1


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


New Hartford,  NY--July 23, 2003--PAR Technology  Corporation  (NYSE:PTC - News)
today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003. PAR reported
second  quarter  revenues of $32 million,  a 6% decrease  from the $33.9 million
reported in the same period a year ago.  Income from  continuing  operations for
the second  quarter was $351,000  compared with $702,000  reported in the second
quarter of 2002. The Company reported diluted earnings per share from continuing
operations of $0.04 for the second quarter of 2003, compared to diluted earnings
per share of $0.08 for the  second  quarter  of last  year.  Net  income for the
second  quarter 2003 was  $308,000 or $0.04  diluted  earnings  per share.  This
compares  to $188,000  net income and $0.02  diluted  earnings  per share in the
second  quarter  2002.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003,  PAR  Technology
Corporation reported revenues from continuing operations of $62.6 million, an 8%
decrease from the $67.6 million reported one year ago. The Company also reported
income from  continuing  operations  of $607,000 in the first six months of 2003
versus  $1.5  million  for the first six months of 2002.  Diluted net income per
share from  continuing  operations for the first six months of 2003 was reported
at $0.07,  compared  to diluted net income per share of $0.19  reported  for the
same period in 2002. Net income for the first six months of 2003 was $537,000 or
$0.06  diluted  earnings per share.  This compares to net income of $699,000 and
$0.09 diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2002.

John W. Sammon,  PAR Chairman and CEO commented on the results.  "The  financial
results for the quarter are generally  within our expected range of performance.
The continued  depressed global  hospitality  technology  market has limited our
pace of improvement during the first six months of this year. There is, however,
a growing sense that conditions are improving within our industry.  As reflected
in actions from customers and statements  from market  analysts,  the demand for
hospitality technology is increasing. We expect that these trends will translate
into improving revenues for both our technology products and service offerings."

"As for our Government Services business, we are pleased with the year over year
revenue gain of 13% in the quarter.  This growth is consistent with our plan and
is expected to accelerate as we expand our work under existing  contracts.  This
growth once again  confirms our  position as a leading  provider of technical IT
outsourcing  services and applied  technology to the Department of Defense,  the
Intelligence Community and to State Government Agencies."

Sammon also added,  "As PAR concentrates on increasing our revenue base, we will
continue  to  focus  on close  control  of  expenses  and  cash,  with an eye to
balancing our short-term and long-term  needs.  Taken as a whole,  the events of
the second quarter affirm our decision making and strategic direction."
