Big Chicken, owned by NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, has tapped ParTech as its POS provider in hopes of streamlining its digital platforms.

"We're thrilled to announce this partnership and believe PAR and its solutions will help us ensure that all of our software works cohesively so we can focus on doing what we do best — serving our guests," Big Chicken CEO Josh Halpern said in a press release. "With several locations open and more than 150 in the development pipeline, our growth isn't slowing down anytime soon and we want our franchisees and their teams to be able to focus on our food and our guests. To do that we need tools that can guarantee ease, correct & precise analytics, and consistency of service. PAR will be the point guard of our tech stack."

Brink POS, Par's point-of-sale solution, allows restaurants to integrate suppliers, accounting and payroll systems directly into the POS and consolidate information all in one place. This enhances the back-of-house experience with streamlined and more intuitive functions and procedures and boosts the front of house experience between restaurant and guest, Par President and CEO Savneet Singh said in the release. Data Central, Par's back-of-house software, standardizes and centralizes data streams like inventory management and labor management across all restaurant locations. Par Pay is a subscription payment middleware application that is mobile and gift card friendly.

"We believe in each of our customer centric solutions and feel that by implementing them all together, Big Chicken's leadership team, its team members and — especially its guests — will benefit from the guidance and support of our industry-leading software and support staff to confirm each restaurant operates smoothly," Singh said.
