DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device for fast food restaurants such as hamburger shops.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a product sales data processing device used in a fast food restaurant such as a hamburger shop processes setting data such as the item name and unit price of each menu item in response to a menu code attached to the menu item. In addition to having a product file in which items are stored, multiple menu keys corresponding to each menu item are provided on the keyboard, and when a store clerk inputs the corresponding menu key in response to a customer's order, the corresponding input key is displayed. Name of menu item to be added,
It is known that the unit price is read from the product file, the price is automatically calculated from the unit price and quantity, and the product name and price are displayed on a screen display such as a CRT display.

By the way, in addition to single menu items such as hamburgers, fries, and coffee, fast food restaurants such as hamburger shops also offer set menu items such as a combination of hamburger, fries, and coffee that is sold at a service unit price. Additionally, some set menu products allow customers to select from a group of products as appropriate, such as a hamburger, fries, coffee, or one drink such as iced coffee and milk.

However, in conventional product sales data processing devices of this type, set menu products are handled in the same way as single menu products, and the product file has set menu names and set unit prices set for each set menu product, and set menu products are In response to key input operations, the corresponding set menu name and set unit price are read out and the set name and price are displayed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] Conventionally, set menu products are treated the same as single menu products, so when a set menu product is registered, only the set name and price are displayed on the display. Met. For this reason, the store clerk could not confirm the details of the set menu items just by looking at the display. In addition, in the case of set menu products where customers can choose from a group of products from the same group, store staff must memorize the products selected by the customer or write them down on notes, etc., to assemble the products, which is complicated and can lead to mistakes. It was easy.

Therefore, the present invention is capable of displaying the details of registered set menu products, and in the case of a set menu product that can be selected from a predetermined group of products, the content of the selected product can also be displayed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product sales data processing device that can reduce the burden on store staff regarding product assortment and prevent mistakes.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The product sales data processing device of the present invention has a name corresponding to the product code of each single product and set product.

A product file that stores setting data such as unit price, a classification file that stores classification names corresponding to the classification codes of each selected product group made by classifying each single product, and a classification file that stores classification names corresponding to the product codes of set products. If it is a single product that constitutes the set product, select the product code.If it is a group of products, select the product code.A set product file that stores the classification code for each product, an input means for inputting the product code of the product to be sold, and the product name and quantity of the product to be sold. .

A display means that can display multiple amounts, etc.; and when the sales product whose product code is input by the input means is a set product, each corresponding code is read from the set product file, and if the code is the product code, the corresponding single If the name of the product is a classification code, a breakdown product display control means for displaying the classification name of the corresponding selected product group on the display means;
Selected product display control means for displaying the name of the product on the display means when the product whose code is input by the input means belongs to the same category while the classification name is being displayed by the display control means. It is.

The breakdown product display control means reads each corresponding code from the set product file when the sales product whose product code is input by the input means is a set product, and if the code is the product code, it displays the corresponding single product. It is desirable that the name is normally displayed on the display means, and if it is a classification code, the classification name of the corresponding selected product group is specially displayed.

In addition, when the sales product whose product code is input by the input means is a set product, each corresponding code is read from the set product file, and if the code is the product code, the name of the corresponding single product is displayed on the display means. , if it is a classification code, the classification name of the corresponding selected product group may be displayed, and a list of all single product names belonging to the product group may be displayed.

[Function] With a product sales data processing device having such a configuration, in the case of a set product consisting of a combination of single products, the product code of each single product is stored in the set product file as the selected product of the single product. In the case of a set product in combination with a group, the product code of the single product and the classification code of the selected product group are stored, and in the case of a set product in the combination of selected product groups, the classification code of each selected product group is stored. . In this state, when the product code of the set product is input by the input means, each corresponding code is read from the set product file. If the read code is a product code, a name corresponding to the product code is read from the product file and displayed on the display means. Similarly, if the read code is a classification code, the classification name corresponding to the classification code is read from the classification file and displayed on the display means. That is, the details of the set products are displayed on the display means.

On the other hand, when the code of a single product belonging to the same category is input by the input means with the classification name displayed, the name corresponding to the product code is read from the product file and displayed on the display means.

That is, the products selected from the selected product group are displayed on the display means.

Note that by displaying the classification name separately from the name of a single product, it is possible to easily understand which selected product group to select from.

Furthermore, by displaying a list of names of single products belonging to the selected product group, the contents of the selected product group can be easily grasped.

[Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a single electronic cash register will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a hamburger shop as a fast food restaurant will be explained as an example.

FIG. 1 is an external view of an electronic cash register,

The display unit 1 has an operator display section 5 on the front side that can display the name, quantity, price, etc. of the sales menu item in multiple lines, and on the rear side, the operator display unit 5 can display the name, quantity, price, etc. of the sales menu item on the back side.
Each customer display section 6 is provided which can display the amount and the like in one line.

The printer 2 prints out the names, prices, etc. of sales menu products on receipts and journals, and issues receipts.A receipt issuing port 6 and a recording paper monitoring window 7 are formed on the front surface of the casing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the keyboard 3 includes a plurality of menu keys 11 to which the product codes of each single menu product and each set menu product are assigned, and roOJ, rOJ to "9" for inputting numerical data. Various keys such as a number key 12, a cancel key 13, a clear key 14, a multiplication key 15, a subtotal key 16, and a deposit/total key 17 are provided.

The drawer 4 is for storing cash and the like.

FIG. 3 is a control block diagram of the electronic cash register. CPU (Central Processing Unit) 2 as the main body of the control unit
1 is a ROM 23 which has a built-in arithmetic circuit, a memory control circuit, etc., executes various arithmetic processing based on input data from the keyboard 3, and stores fixed data such as program data via a pass line 22; ,
RAM2 that stores variable data such as arithmetic processing data
4. It also includes a clock circuit 25 that measures the current date and time, an I10 port 27 that inputs signals from the mode switch 26, a keyboard circuit 28 that inputs key signals from the keyboard 3, and a display that drives and controls the display 1. two control circuits, a printer drive circuit 30 of the printer 2 and a drawer opening device 3 of the drawer 4;
The I10 port 32, which outputs a drive signal to each of the I10 ports 1 and 1, is connected to the CPU 21 via the pass line 22.

The mode switch 26 is a control switch that controls power on/off and selects various business modes such as "registration", "accounting", and "setting", and is operated with a key.

As shown in FIG. 4, the RAM 24 stores menu codes corresponding to single menu items such as "hamburger,""fries," and "coffee," and set menu items such as "Set A" and "Set B." A product file 41 stores setting data such as product name, unit price, and group code of the selected product group to which each product belongs, and also has a cumulative area for cumulatively summing up the number of sales and sales amount for each product, and the menu of each set menu product. Corresponding to the code, a set menu product file 42 stores a corresponding menu code for a single product and a corresponding group code for a group of selected products as set single item codes for each product constituting the set menu product;
In addition to a group file 43 that stores each group name set for each group code of various selected product groups, there is a totalizer 44 for calculating the total amount of sales menu products for -transactions, a counter M area 45, and a counter N area 46
Various memory areas are formed.

In addition, in this example, among single products as selected product groups, burgers are classified into group code "01", snacks are classified into group code "02", and drinks are classified into group code "03". ing. Further, set menu products are classified into group code "04".

The CPU 21 then operates the keyboard 3 while the mode switch 26 selects the "registration" mode.
When it is detected that the menu key 11 has been input, the program is controlled to execute the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, when a key signal of the menu key 11 is input via the keyboard circuit 28, it is first determined which menu key corresponds to which menu item has been inputted. Then, store the setting data such as the item name, unit price, and group code of the corresponding menu item in the product file 4.
1, calculate the price by multiplying the unit price and quantity, and display the name, quantity and price on the operator display section 5 of the display 1.
and displayed on the customer display section 6. In this case, the operator display section 5 displays the line next to the previous display line, and the customer display section 6 updates the previous display content. Also, please enter the price and quantity in the product file 41.
The total sales are accumulated in the cumulative sales area of the corresponding menu item, and the price is added to the totalizer 44. Here, if a multiplier is input using the numeric key 12 and the multiplication key 15 immediately before inputting the menu key 11, the quantity is the multiplier;
If there is no multiplier input, it is set to "1". Note that the input of the multiplication key 15 may be omitted.

Next, it is determined whether this menu item is a set menu item or a single menu item.

Here, if the group food is other than "04", it is determined that it is a single menu product, and this process is ended.

On the other hand, if the group code is "04", it is determined that it is a set menu product, and the set menu product table 4
2 and read out the corresponding set single item code. If the read code is a menu code, the product name of the corresponding single menu product is read from the product file 41, and if it is a group code, the product name is read from the group file 41.
The group names of the corresponding selected product groups are read out and displayed on the operator display section 5 of the display 1 together with the respective quantities. At this time, if a group code does not exist as a set single item code, the set menu is a combination of only a single item, and this process ends.

On the other hand, if a group code exists as a set single item code, it is a set menu consisting of a combination of a single product and a selected product group or a combination of selected product groups, so only the group name of the display contents of the operator display section 5 is displayed. Make it blink for a special display.

Then, set the counter M in area 45 to the quantity (≧1), area 4
The counters N of 6 are each initialized to rOJ, and a key input from the keyboard 3 is waited for. In this state, if the input of the menu key 11 is detected, it is determined that one product has been selected from the selected product group, and the product name and unit price of the menu product corresponding to the input menu key are stored from the product file 41.
Reads setting data such as group code. Then, if it is determined from the group code that this menu item is a single menu item and that it belongs to the corresponding selected product group, counter M and counter N
Compare with. If the relationship [M>N] is established, the selected menu product is registered, so the name and selected quantity of the selected menu product are displayed on the operator display section 5.
to be displayed.

Here, the selection quantity is the multiplier if there is a multiplier input immediately before the input of the menu key 11, and "1" if there is no multiplier input. Further, the selected quantity is added to the counter N. At this time, the cumulative totaling process for the cumulative sales area of the product file 41 and the price addition process for the totalizer 44 are not performed. - On the other hand, if the relationship [M<N] is established in the comparison between counter M and counter N, the selected menu is canceled, and the product name and selected quantity of the selected menu product are deleted from the operator display 5. do. The selection quantity in this case is also the same as above. Also, the selected quantity is subtracted from the counter N. At this time as well, product file 4
The negative cumulative totaling process for the sales cumulative area 1 and the price subtraction process for the totalizer 44 are not performed.

After that, counter M and counter N are compared again.

If the two do not match, the group name continues to be displayed blinking and waits for the next key input. If the two match, the group name is displayed on the operator display section 5, and this process ends.

On the other hand, the CPU 21 uses the deposit/cash key 1 of the keyboard 3.
7 is detected, it is determined that one transaction has been closed, and the data in the totalizer 44 is displayed as the total amount on the operator display section 5 and the customer display section 6 of the display device 1.

In addition, the printer 2 is driven to print out the item name, price, and total amount of each menu item registered in the transaction on a receipt and journal, issue a receipt from the receipt issuing port 6, and open the drawer 4. It has become a thing.

In this embodiment having such a configuration, it is assumed that the data shown in FIG. 4 is set in the product file 41, set menu product file 42, and group file 43, respectively. In this state, for example, if a customer purchases three items from the set menu item "Set A," the store clerk enters "3" using the number keys 12 on the keyboard 3, then enters the multiplication key 15, and then presses " Input the menu key 11 corresponding to "A set". Then, first, from the product file 41, the product name corresponding to menu code r0007J is "A set", the unit price is "500 yen", and the group code is "
o4'' is read out, the price r1500 yen'' is automatically calculated, and the data [3A set 1500 yen] is displayed on the operator display section 5 and the customer display section 6 of the display 1. Also, since it is a set menu product, menu: 7-)' ro00 is entered from the set menu product file 42.
Single set code ro001J, r00 corresponding to 7J
03J, r03. J7><Read. And menu code roo01J.

The names "hamburger" and "fries" corresponding to "ro 003" and the group name "drinks" corresponding to the group code "03" are each displayed on the operator display section 5 together with the quantity "3". At this time, the group name "Drinks" is displayed blinking.

An example of the display on the operator display section 5 at this point is shown in FIG. In addition, in the same figure, the part surrounded by the broken line indicates that the display is blinking.

In other words, by looking at the display in Figure 6, the store clerk can
The breakdown of “Set A” is “hamburger”, “fries” and “
You can easily confirm that it is a combination with "Drinks". Moreover, for drinks, the blinking display makes it easy to recognize that the menu is a selection menu.

The clerk then asks the customer for a menu selection. Here, the customer says “
When ordering two items of "coffee", the clerk enters "2" using the number key 12, then enters the multiplication key 15, and then enters the menu key 11 corresponding to "coffee". Then, from the product file 41, menu code r0005
The product name "coffee", unit price "200 yenj", and group code "03" corresponding to J are read out. Since this group code "03" is the code for the selected product group "Drinks", selection is permitted, and the name "Coffee" and quantity "2" are displayed on the operator display section 5 of the display 1. However, sales registration is not performed for this selected product "coffee". At this time, [Counter M-3. counter N-2], the blinking display of the group name "Drinks" continues.

An example of the display on the operator display section 5 at this point is shown in FIG. In addition, in the same figure, the part surrounded by the broken line indicates that the display is blinking. That is, by looking at the display shown in FIG. 7, the store clerk can recognize that two items in the selected product group "Drinks" are "Coffee." Moreover, regarding drinks, the user can confirm that one more item can be selected by the blinking display.

Next, when the customer orders one item of "iced coffee", the clerk inputs the menu key 11 corresponding to "iced coffee". Then, from the product file 41, the product name corresponding to menu code r0006J, "Iced Coffee",
Unit price: 200 yen.

Group code "03" is read out. Since this group code "03" is the code for the selected product group "Drinks", selection is permitted, and the name "Iced Coffee" and the quantity "1" are displayed on the operator display section 5 of the display 1. In this case, the selected product is “Iced coffee”
Sales will not be registered for. At this time, since it is [Counter M-3, Counter N-3], the flashing display of the group name "Drinks" is erased.

An example of the display on the operator display section 5 at this point is shown in FIG. In other words, by looking at the display shown in Figure 8, the store clerk can tell that for a customer who ordered 3 items from "Set A", 3 items of ``hamburger'', 3 items of ``potatoes'', 2 items of ``coffee'', and 1 item of ``iced coffee'' are given to the customer. You will be able to recognize that you only need to line up each point.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to this embodiment, by registering a set menu product, the name and quantity of a single product or selected product group that constitutes the set menu are displayed on the operator display section 5. The store clerk can know the details of the set products from the displayed contents. Furthermore, by key-inputting the product selected by the customer from the selected product group, the product name and quantity of the selected product are displayed sequentially, making it easier to grasp a more detailed breakdown. There is no need to take notes. Therefore, the assortment of set menu items becomes easier, errors are reduced, and the burden on store staff is also reduced. Furthermore, since sales are not registered for input of selected products, sales management is not affected.

Furthermore, for the selected product group, the group name is flashed together with the remaining quantity, so the store clerk can easily understand how many items are left to be selected for which product group. Therefore, since it becomes possible to appropriately give advice to customers, service quality can also be improved.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, menu key processing in the above embodiment (Fig. 5)
may be improved as shown in FIG. In other words, if the registered menu product is a set menu product and there is a selected product group as an element constituting this set menu product, the group name will be displayed blinking, and all single menu items belonging to the selected product group will be displayed. The products are displayed as a list on a part of the operator display section 5. Specifically, the product names of the single menu products to which the group code of the selected product group has been set are extracted from the product file 41 and displayed in a list.

An example of the display on the operator display section 5 at this point is shown in Figure m10. That is, by looking at the display shown in FIG. 10, the store clerk can know the contents of the selected product group, and can promptly give advice when the customer selects an unselectable product. Note that the list display of the selected product group is deleted at the same time as the selection of the selected product group is completed and the group name is deleted.

Further, in the above embodiment, the group name of the selected product group is displayed blinking to distinguish it from other single menu products, but the display is not limited to blinking. For example, the group name of the selected product group may be distinguished by a special display such as black and white inverted display. Good too.

Furthermore, although the above embodiment shows the case where the present invention is applied to a single electronic cash register, it can also be applied to a POS (point of sale) system in which the electronic cash register is used as a terminal and centrally managed by a controller. Of course you can.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, the details of the registered set menu products can be displayed, and in the case of a set menu product that can be selected from a predetermined product group, the selected product can be displayed. It is possible to provide a product sales data processing device that can also display the contents, thereby reducing the burden on store staff in assembling set menu products and preventing mistakes.

Moreover, according to claim 2, there is an effect that the selected product group and the single product group can be easily distinguished.

Furthermore, according to claim 3, it is possible to easily confirm the contents of the selected product group.
