He emphasized momentum in unified technology adoption in food service, particularly with Burger King and Popeyes partnerships, and the success of multiproduct cross-sells. Strategic priorities include investing in product innovation, such as AI-driven tools and PAR OPS, and pursuing global enterprise opportunities with TASK POS. Singh acknowledged challenges, including slower POS rollouts due to macroeconomic uncertainty, but remained optimistic about the long-term flywheel effect of cross-selling and the potential of late-stage Tier 1 deals.

Guidance
Savneet Singh guided for mid-teens organic ARR growth in 2025, below the 20% target, due to slower POS and payment rollouts in the first half. He expects stronger second-half growth as Burger King's rollout accelerates and contracted deals materialize. The CEO also noted that the company expects to return to positive operating cash flow by year-end and anticipates operating margins to improve with increased efficiency and product mix.
