AI Is Earning Its Place at the Table, New PAR Technology Survey Finds
PAR Technology released its 2026 Industry Report "AI on the Diner's Terms," based on a survey of 1,000 consumers examining AI's expanding role in the restaurant experience. The findings indicate a shift from the prior year, when 41% of surveyed consumers said they would choose a restaurant that avoided AI altogether.
Why it matters — The report gives PAR Technology insight into consumer attitudes toward AI in restaurants, which could inform its product and technology strategy for the multi-unit operators it serves.
