1/ Odd day. Sen. passes bill on housing and RESTAURANTS. No tax on tips/ no tax on overtime pay. Powell also not ruling out cuts and restaurant stocks ripping. Overhang at $PAR has been strength of their end market / customer. Today everything got better... @SavneetS @PAR_Tech

At ~1400 units, DENN could also adopt payments and POS if the KEKE rollout goes well. Table serve is highly lucrative and produces ARPU many multiples of a traditional QSR store. @SavneetS @PAR_Tech $PAR $DENN
https://t.co/eYw2cld5pU More than meets the eye here. KEKE is owned by DENNY's - once a PUNCHH cust. PAR has mentioned that several PUNCHH custs. are returning and we understand $DENN is one of them. Table serv. , POS, Payment, lot to like here. @SavneetS @PAR_Tech $PAR $DENN
Sponsor Bain (50% shareholder) will likely be looking to unload shares as we approach the lock-up expiration date later this summer. $KMTS could be a zero.
$KMTS Recent IPO. Makes $20k bras w defib (not a joke). Impractical product w very low efficacy (per clinical trials). Insurance won’t cover. Burning cash, no valuation support. Zoll has 80% share, $KMTS distant #2. 6/1 FDA approved a much better alternative by Element Sciences.
