.
allowing for real-time internet bookings for individuals and groups. NEW HARTFORD, NY � DECEMBER 27, 2005 � PAR Springer Miller Systems Inc. (SMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PTC) and the leading provider of guest-centric hospitality management systems, is pleased to announce that ARAMARK Parks and Resorts, an authorized concessioner of the National Park Service, has implemented SMS|World, an integrated extension of the SMS|Host Hospitality Management solution on its Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas� Web site, www.lakepowell.com. Located on the border of Utah and Arizona, Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas offers visitors diverse lake and land activities, including houseboat and powerboat rentals, lodging on the lake and tours to Rainbow Bridge National Monument. As the second largest man-made lake in the U.S., Lake Powell provides stunning scenery that is appreciated by millions of guests each year. ARAMARK had previously deployed the SMS|Host Hospitality Management Systems� integrated approach for Lake Powell to replace multiple existing systems that ran the property�s front office, central reservations and activity management needs as stand-alone applications. This included several optional modules such as Multi-Property Management, Spa/Recreation Scheduling, Ticket Management, Frequent Guest Tracking, Activities Management, Retail Point-of-Sale, and Internet Booking. �The SMS|Host application provides us a multi-faceted system for our multi-faceted properties,� said Roger Franke, director of information technology, ARAMARK Parks & Resorts. �From scheduling boats and tours to improving efficiency at the front desk, this system helps us improve our customer service levels across the board.� Roger Franke further explains, �The deployment of SMS|World is a natural extension to meet our customer service objectives. Our operation has seasonal bursts of incredible reservations volume. SMS|World allows customers to book lodging, houseboats and campsites on-line without enduring long waits on hold.� John Springer-Miller, President and CEO of PAR Springer-Miller Systems said, �SMS|World bookings are created in real time, without the need to maintain rates and availability blocks in a second location; it requires much less manpower than the traditional reservations office. We don�t assess per-booking transaction fees that a GDS provider would. With these things in mind, ARAMARK will enjoy improved bottom line profitability and guest satisfaction.� About ARAMARK Parks and Resorts
