Deep dives

Transforming PAR Technology

The podcast discusses how Savneet Singh transformed PAR Technology from a struggling company on the verge of bankruptcy to a market leader with a valuation exceeding $2.5 billion. This transformation began when he joined the board and quickly recognized the need for significant changes due to multiple challenges, including an ineffective culture, a broken software product, and financial mismanagement. Singh emphasized that the company lacked the resources to adequately develop its software offerings, which made up only a small fraction of overall revenue, while the hardware and services side suffered from outdated practices. His decision to position himself as CEO instead of continuing the search for a new leader showcased his commitment to revamping the organization and addressing its dire issues head-on.
