Data Integration Simplifies Catering Workflow
Deeper integration with MONKEY™, the #1 cloud platform for takeout, delivery and catering with PAR’s Brink POS software will make off-premise order management easier than ever for its users, eliminating the need for significant technology investments in the kitchen, and maximizing returns from the lucrative and fast-growing off-premise market.
