Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a food and drink menu ordering device for inputting a food and drink menu order at a restaurant seat.

[Prior Art] In recent years, in large restaurants and fast food restaurants,
A keyboard for entering food and drink menus for each clerk,
Have a food and drink menu ordering device equipped with a display for displaying food and drink menus based on key operations on this keyboard, and wire or wirelessly connect the ordering device and the sales registration processing device installed at the accounting location or kitchen. There is a place where an order system is employed in which a store clerk receives an order from a customer at a seat and inputs it from a keyboard to transmit order data to a sales registration processing device for registration processing. If this system is adopted, the clerk does not have to communicate the order data to the accounting location or the kitchen verbally or in writing, so the ordering work can be performed efficiently and the service such as waiting time can be improved. It is possible to achieve the effect of reducing the labor.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, in food and drink menus such as restaurants, a main menu whose unit price is fixed is selected as a submenu (rice or rice) regardless of unit price. It may be necessary to order bread, soup or salad, coffee or tea, etc.) and comments (such as how much meat is baked, dressing type, sauce type, etc.). In addition, rice, salad, etc. as a sub-menu may be handled as a single item, and in this case, a unit price is required.

However, in the conventional food and drink menu ordering device, the orders received in one table are collectively transmitted to and registered in the kitchen or accounting place without setting the sub-menu and the master-slave relationship of the comments with respect to the main menu. For this reason, when printed out in the kitchen or at the checkout place, the submenu or comment for the main menu could not be specified, or the order data could not be cooked, which could lead to business confusion at the store side. .
As a result, there is a risk that the customer will be served a different food and drink menu than what was ordered, or the total amount of money may be calculated incorrectly.

Therefore, the present invention can accurately register the food and drink menu ordered by the customer without confusion of the subordinate relationship of the lower menu with respect to the upper menu, can stabilize the store side business, and can receive order mistakes and It is an object of the present invention to provide a food and drink menu ordering device capable of significantly reducing reception errors and improving serviceability.

[Means for Solving Problems] As shown in FIG. 1, the first invention of the present application corresponds to menu codes attached to various food and drink menus of a higher-level menu and lower-level menus subordinate to the higher-level menu. At least the attribute information that distinguishes whether the food menu corresponding to the menu table A that stores name information is a higher menu or a lower menu, and if it is a higher menu, the attribute information that distinguishes the presence or absence of a lower menu, and if there is a lower menu, When the status area a in which the set number is set is provided, and the menu code and the ordered quantity are input from the keyboard B, the menu code of the upper menu is displayed from the attribute information of the status area corresponding to the input menu code of the menu table A. Check whether is entered, and then click the When it is confirmed that the new code has been input, the upper menu storage means C for temporarily storing the input data of the menu code and the ordered quantity, and the information of the status area corresponding to the menu code stored by this storage means C If it is determined that there is no lower-level menu, and if there is no lower-level menu, it is determined that there is a means for transferring the data stored by the upper-level menu storage means C to the order data storage section D as order data and the presence of the lower-level menu. Then, when the menu code and the ordered quantity are input from the means for waiting for the data of the lower menu to be input and the keyboard B, the attribute information of the status area corresponding to the input menu code of the menu table is used to display the information of the lower menu. Check whether the menu code has been entered, and select the submenu When that is over de entered is confirmed, and the lower menu storage unit E for temporarily storing input data of the menu code and the order quantity, the lower menu storage unit E
And a quantity comparison means F for comparing the ordered quantity of the lower menu stored by means of the higher order menu stored by the higher menu storage means C with a required quantity obtained by multiplying the ordered quantity of the lower menu of the relevant upper menu. When the order quantity of the lower menu is less than the required quantity by the comparing means F, the lower menu data inputting means G returns to the standby state for inputting the lower menu data, and when the order quantity of the lower menu matches by the comparing means F, the upper menu The data stored in the storage means C and the data stored in the lower menu storage means E are combined into a set and transferred to the order data storage section D as order data. The transmission control means H transmits all the order data in the order data storage unit to the outside. That.

Further, the second invention of the present application is provided with the input skip means I for instructing input skip of the lower menu data, and when the input skip means I instructs the input skip of the lower menu data in the input standby state of the lower menu data, The data stored in the menu storage means C is transferred to the order data storage section D as order data.

[Operation] In the food and drink menu ordering device according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the menu code and the number of ordered items of the upper menu are input from the keyboard, the menu code of the upper menu is selected from the attribute information of the status area corresponding to the input menu code of the menu table. After it is confirmed that the input has been made, the input data of the menu code and the ordered quantity is temporarily stored by the upper menu storage means. Next, the presence or absence of a lower menu is determined from the information in the status area corresponding to the menu code stored by this storage means,
When it is determined that there is no lower menu, the data stored by the upper menu storage means is transferred to the order data storage unit as order data. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a lower menu, the process waits until the data of the lower menu is input. Then, enter the menu code of the lower menu and the order quantity from the keyboard, and after confirming that the menu code of the lower menu has been entered from the attribute information of the status area corresponding to the input menu code, enter the menu code and the ordered quantity. The data is temporarily stored by the lower menu storage means. Next, the ordered quantity of data stored by the lower menu storage means and the required quantity obtained by multiplying the ordered quantity of data stored by the upper menu storage means by the lower menu set number of the corresponding upper menu are compared, If the number of ordered items of the lower menu data is less than the required number, the process returns to the input standby state of the lower menu data. On the other hand, when the ordered quantity of the lower order menu data matches the required quantity, the order data storage unit as a set of order data including the data stored by the upper menu storage means and the data stored by the lower menu storage means as a set. Transferred to. After that, when there is a data transmission request, all the order data in the order data storage unit is transmitted to the outside (a kitchen or an accounting place).

Further, in the food and drink menu ordering device of the second invention of the present application, when the input skip unit instructs the input skip of the lower menu data in the input standby state of the lower menu, the data stored by the upper menu storage unit becomes the order data. Transferred to the order data storage unit.

Is connected to the CPU 21 via the bus line 22 and the control signal line 23.

In the RAM 25, as shown in FIG.
The number buffer 40 for temporarily storing the number data from, the menu code set for each food and drink menu item of the restaurant is stored, and the attribute of the food menu (main menu, sub menu corresponding to these menu codes) is stored. (Menu, comment) etc., a menu table 41 for storing status information and menu item names, an order memory 42 for storing food and drink menu data keyed by the keyboard 12, a sales registration processing device installed in a kitchen or accounting area, etc. In addition to the transmission buffer 43 for temporarily storing data to be transmitted to, the main menu flag MF, the sub menu flag SF, the comment flag CF, the automatic addition flag GF, the confirmation mode flag HF, and the unit price flag PF.
Is formed with a flag area 44.

Further, in the status information area of the menu table 41, as shown in FIG. 6, whether the unit price of the food and drink menu corresponding to the menu code is preset in the upper file (0/1), the menu Whether the code is a code indicating a comment (0/1), whether the menu code is a code indicating a submenu (0/1), and the food menu corresponding to the menu code is a lower menu. Whether or not it is necessary to combine and input the comments (0/1), and whether or not it is necessary to combine and input the sub-menu as the lower menu in the food menu corresponding to the menu code (0/1). /
1), whether or not to perform automatic addition processing (0/1), if there are comments, the number of them is some (1 to 7), whether the input of comments is optional (0/1), submenu If there are some, the required number of items (1 to 7), whether the submenu is arbitrarily input (0/1), and the like are set.

Further, the order memory 42, as shown in FIG. 7, is a work area 51 for temporarily storing one order data consisting of an upper menu or a combination of an upper menu and a lower menu.
And a unit price area 52 for temporarily storing the unit price information keyed in and a table order area 53 for accumulating order data following the header information in units of one table.

Thus, the CPU 21 is configured to operate according to the program stored in the ROM 24 in the procedure shown in FIGS. That is, when the power is turned on by a power key (not shown) or the like, as shown in FIG. 8, after storing “1” in the numeral buffer 40, it is decided for each store such as a table number, a customer service person number, and the number of customers. The guidance message for prompting the input of the header information is sequentially displayed on the display unit 13 (P1), and the ENT key 17 is pressed.
Numerical data is fetched as header information corresponding to the display guidance in response to the input of, and set in a predetermined area of the table order area 53 in the order memory 42 (P
2).

If all the header information is set, the 9th
The mode shifts to the upper menu input mode shown in the figure. That is, a guidance message "Menu" is displayed on the display unit 13, and the menu table 41 is searched according to the key input of the menu key 16 (P3). Then, the food / drink menu item name corresponding to the menu key 16 is displayed on the display unit 13.
(P4), and the attributes (main menu, submenu, comment) of the food menu are retrieved based on the status information (P5, P6). The attribute of the food and drink menu that can be a higher-level menu is a main menu or a submenu. Therefore, when the food menu is a comment, it cannot be set as a lower menu, so an error occurs, the buzzer 29 is sounded, the key input is canceled, and the display returns to the "menu" display. On the other hand, when the attribute of the food menu is the main menu, it is determined whether the unit price is preset (P7). When the unit price of the main menu is open or the attribute is the sub menu, the unit price flag PF in the flag area 44 is set to "1" to force the unit price input (P
8).

Next, it is determined from the status information of the food and drink menu whether or not automatic addition is to be performed, and if it is to be performed, the automatic addition flag GF in the flag area 44 is set to "1". Then, after setting the main menu flag MF to "1", the input of the ENT key 17 is awaited. When the ENT key 17 is pressed, it is determined whether or not the main menu flag MF is set to "1" (P10),
When set, the contents of the number buffer 40 are used as the number of pieces, and the menu code, attribute (main menu or submenu), number, and level information 0 of the food and drink menu are stored in the work area 51 in the order memory 42. After that (P11), the unit moves to the unit price input mode shown in FIG.

In the menu input mode, if only the ENT key 17 is pressed, the main menu flag MF remains reset and the confirmation mode flag HF is set to "1" to shift to the confirmation mode shown in FIG. 15 ( P1
2). Also, when the reverse key 19 is pressed, the mode is shifted to the confirmation mode.

On the other hand, when the send key 18 is pressed, the order memory 4
The contents of the table order area 53 in No. 2 are transferred to the transmission buffer 43, and the transmission control circuit 31 is controlled to perform wireless transmission via the antenna 14 to a sales registration processing device or the like installed in the kitchen or accounting area ( P1
3).

In the unit price input mode of FIG. 10, if the unit price flag PF is not set to “1”, the process shifts to the comment input mode shown in FIG. On the other hand, the unit price flag P
If F is set to "1", a message "tanker" is displayed on the display unit 13, and the numerical data is stored as a unit price in the unit price area 52 of the order memory 42 according to the input of the ENT key 17 ( P14). After that, the unit price flag PF is reset and the mode shifts to the comment input mode. When the reverse key 19 is pressed, the confirmation mode is entered.

In the comment input mode shown in FIG. 11, the presence or absence of the comment input, which is the lower menu, is determined based on the status information of the food and drink menu (upper menu) input as the level information 0 in the work area 51. Shifts to the sub-menu input mode shown in FIG. When comment input is required, display unit 1
A message "Comment" is displayed in 3 and waits for key input. Then, when the menu key 16 is input, the menu table 41 is searched (P15), and the name of the food menu corresponding to the menu key is displayed on the display unit 13 (P16). Then, the attribute of the food and drink menu is judged (P17), and if it is not a comment, an error is returned and the display returns to "comment". On the other hand, if the attribute of the food and drink menu is a comment, the comment flag CF in the flag area 44 is set to "1" and the input of the ENT key 17 is awaited (P1).
8). When the ENT key 17 is pressed in this state, it is determined whether the comment input is compulsory or not according to the status information of the upper menu (P19). When the comment is forced, the menu code, the attribute (comment), the number and the level information obtained by adding “+1” to the level information up to now are stored in the work area 51 with the number buffer contents as the number (( P20). Next, it is determined whether or not a comment has been input by the product of the number of upper menus and the number of comment settings in the status information (P21), and if the number of comment inputs is insufficient, the comment flag CF is reset ( P22), and returns to the "comment" display again. On the other hand, when the required number of comments for the upper menu is input, the comment flag CF is reset (P23), and then the sub menu input mode is entered.

On the other hand, when the comment input is arbitrary, it is determined whether the comment flag CF is set to "1" (P
24). And, if it is set, that is, if the food and drink menu with the attribute comment is input,
The menu code, the attribute, the number, and the level information obtained by adding “+1” to the level information up to now are stored in the work area 51 (P25), the comment flag CF is reset, and then the submenu input mode is entered. . On the other hand, if the comment flag CF is in the reset state, the sub menu input mode is directly entered.
When the reverse key 19 is pressed, the confirmation mode is entered.

In the submenu input mode shown in FIG. 12, the presence / absence of a submenu as a lower menu is determined based on the status information of the upper menu. If it is not necessary to input the submenu, the automatic addition mode shown in FIG. 14 is entered. When a submenu input is required, a message "submenu" is displayed on the display unit 13 and the key input is awaited. When the menu key 16 is input, the menu table 41 is searched (P26), and the name of the food menu corresponding to the menu key is displayed on the display unit 13 (P27). Next, the attribute of the food menu is judged (P28), and if it is not a submenu, an error is returned and the display returns to the "submenu" display. On the other hand, if the attribute of the food menu is a submenu, the submenu flag SF in the flag area 44 is set to "1" and the input of the ENT key 17 is awaited (P29). When the ENT key 17 is pressed in this state, it is determined from the status information of the higher-level menu whether the sub-menu input is compulsory (P3).
0). If the submenu is forced, the menu code, the attribute (submenu), the number, and the level information obtained by adding “+1” to the level information up to now are stored in the work area 51 with the number buffer contents as the number. Yes (P31). Next, it is determined whether or not the number of submenus has been input by the product of the number of upper menus and the number of submenus set in the status information (P32),
If the number of input sub-menus is insufficient, the sub-menu flag SF is reset (P33) and then the display returns to the "sub-menu" display. On the other hand, when the required number of sub-menus for the upper menu is input, the sub-menu flag SF is reset (P34), and then the sub-menu comment input mode is entered.

On the other hand, if the submenu input is arbitrary, it is determined whether or not the submenu flag SF is set to "1" (P35). If it is set, that is, if the food / drink menu of which the attribute is the sub menu is input, "+1" is added to the menu code, the attribute, the number, and the level information of the food / drink menu in the work area 51. The level information is stored (P36), the submenu flag SF is reset, and then the submenu comment input mode is entered. On the other hand, if the submenu flag SF is in the reset state, the process directly shifts to the comment input mode of the submenu. When the reverse key 19 is pressed, the confirmation mode is entered.

In the comment input mode of the sub-menu of FIG. 13, the status information of the sub-menu, which is a lower-level menu than the upper-level menu, is used to determine whether or not there is a comment that is a lower-level menu. The automatic addition mode shown in the figure is entered. When the comment input is required, a message "comment" is displayed on the display unit 13 and the key input is awaited. If the menu key 16 is pressed, the menu table 41
Is searched (P37), and the name of the food menu corresponding to the menu key is displayed on the display unit 13 (P38). Next, the attribute of the food menu is judged (P39), and if it is not a comment, an error is returned and the display returns to the "comment" display.
On the other hand, if the attribute of the food menu is a comment, the comment flag CF in the flag area 44 is set to "1" and the input of the ENT key 17 is awaited (P40). When the ENT key 17 is input in this state, it is determined whether or not the comment input is compulsory according to the status information of the submenu, which is a lower menu (P41). Then, in the case of compulsory comment, the number of buffer contents in the work area 51 is used as the number, and “+” is added to the menu code, attribute (comment), number and level information of the food menu.
The level information obtained by adding 1 ”is stored (P42). Next, it is determined whether or not a comment has been input by the product of the number of the submenu and the number of comment settings in the status information (P43), and the number of input comments is insufficient. If so, after resetting the comment flag CF (P4
4) Return to the "comment" display. On the other hand, when the required number of comments for the submenu is input, the comment flag CF is reset (P45), and then the automatic addition mode is entered.

On the other hand, when the comment input is arbitrary, it is determined whether the comment flag CF is set to "1" (P
46). And, if it is set, that is, if the food and drink menu with the attribute comment is input,
The menu code, the attribute, the number, and the level information obtained by adding "+1" to the level information up to now are stored in the work area 51 (P47), the comment flag CF is reset, and then the automatic addition mode is entered. .
On the other hand, if the comment flag CF is in the reset state, the automatic addition mode is entered. When the reverse key 19 is pressed, the confirmation mode is entered.

In the automatic addition mode of FIG. 14, when the automatic addition flag GF is set to "1" by the status information of the upper menu (P48), the combination pattern of the level information in the input data in the work area 51 is as follows.
Is included in any one of the above (P4
9). That is, a submenu having level information 0 as a pattern and a comment having level information 1 are 1
Data is stored in the work area 51 one by one, a main menu having level information 0 as a pattern and a comment having level information 1 is stored one data at a time, or a main menu having level information 0 as a pattern and level information 1 Has a submenu with 1
A main menu having level information 0, a submenu having level information 1, and a comment having level information 2 stored as data are 1 each.
It is determined whether each data is stored, only one data is stored in the main menu having the level information 0 as a pattern, or only one data is stored in the sub menu having the level information 0 as a pattern.

Then, when the input data in the work memory 51 matches any one of the input patterns 1 to 3, the input data having the level information 0 in the work area 51 and the data in the unit price area 52 are read as necessary. put out. Then
The order data having the level information in the table order memory 53 is searched, and the menu code of the data having the level information 0 in the work area 51 and the unit price area 5 are searched.
It is determined whether there is order data that matches the unit price information in 2 (P50). Then, when the corresponding order data exists, the level information is incremented by "+1", and the work area 51 is added.
It is determined whether or not there is input data having the corresponding level information. Here, if the level information corresponding to the input data in the work area 51 exists, the order data having the corresponding level information is searched from the previously matched order data to determine the presence or absence of the order data having the matching menu code. To do.

Thus, if the order data in which the menu code, the input pattern and the unit price are all the same as the input data in the work area 51 exists in the table order memory 53 and the order data does not have the data having other level information, The automatic addition flag GF is reset, and the quantity information in the order data is automatically added by the number in the work area 51 to clear the work area 51 (P5).
1). After that, the process shifts to the upper menu input mode in FIG. 9 and waits for the next input of order data or transmission of the order data stored in the table order memory 53.

On the other hand, when the automatic addition flag GF is reset,
If the input pattern for the level information of the work area 51 does not match the patterns 1 to 3, or if there is no data matching the corresponding level information of the work area in the table order area 53, the input data in the work area 51 The order data including the unit price information in the unit price area 52 is stored as new data in the empty area of the table order memory 53, and then the higher order menu input mode is entered (P52).

In the confirmation mode of FIG. 15, the confirmation mode flag H
When F is set to "1", the pointer indicating the input position of the table order area 53 is returned to the beginning of the header input, and when the confirmation mode flag HF is reset, the pointer is returned by one step. . And
Of the data stored in the table order area 53 designated by the pointer, the menu item name and the number of ordered items corresponding to the menu code of level information 0 are displayed on the display unit 13 and the key input is awaited (P53). In this state, EN
If the T key 17 is input, the pointer is moved by +1 (P54), and if the reverse key 19 is input, the pointer is moved by -1 (P55) to update the display. When the ENT key 17 is pressed after inputting the numeric data 0, if the confirmation mode flag HF is set, all the data in the table order memory 53 is cleared (P56), and in the case of resetting. Clears the data being displayed (P57). At this time, if lower level data is present in the display data, this lower level data is also cleared (ST58). On the other hand, when the menu key 16 is input, the displayed menu data is changed to the menu data corresponding to the menu key, and when numerical data other than 0 is input, the displayed number data is changed. . In this embodiment having such a configuration, when the customer service representative turns on the power at the seat, the guidance for the header input is displayed, so that the customer service representative follows the guidance such as the table number and the person number. Enter. When the header input is completed, a message "Menu" is displayed, and the menu key 16 corresponding to the ordered menu is input. Then, the menu item name is displayed on the display unit 13, and if the attribute is a comment according to the status information of the food and drink menu, an error occurs and the buzzer 29 sounds. That is, the next data can be input only when the attribute is the main menu or the sub menu, the number is set by the numerical key 15 and the number input is finished by the ENT key 17. Simply ENT
When the key 17 is entered, the number is "1". In this state, the work area 51 has a menu code, attributes,
The number and level information 0 are stored. Next, when the food menu is open, the message "Tanker" is displayed, so enter the unit price with the numeric keypad 15 and finish the unit price input with the ENT key 17. In this state, the unit price information is stored in the unit price area 52. After the unit price is input, or in the case of unit price preset, the input condition of the lower menu is determined by the status information of the corresponding food menu. That is, it is determined whether a comment, a submenu, and a comment of a submenu are to be respectively input, the number of these inputs is some, and whether these inputs are compulsory or arbitrary. Then, in the case of forced input, the guidance display is repeated to continue the input of the lower menu until the set number is reached. On the other hand, if the input is arbitrary, the input of the lower menu can be skipped by inputting the ENT key without entering the number.

Then, when the combination input of the upper menu having the level information 0 to the work memory 51 and the lower menu having the one or more level information preset for the upper menu is completed, these order data are stored. It is set in the table data memory 53. At this time, the automatic addition processing is performed only when the order data has the above-mentioned predetermined 6 patterns. That is, if the order data having the same menu code, level pattern, and unit price as the input data in the work area 51 is already set in the table order memory 53, the number of the order data is automatically added by the input data. .

Thus, the customer service person inputs the transmission key 18 when the order for one table is completed. Then, the contents of the table order area 53 are transferred to the transmission buffer 43, and are output from the antenna to the sales registration processing device or the like in the kitchen and the accounting place using the wireless line.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the upper menu is input, the necessary lower menu is subsequently selected and the guidance is displayed. Therefore, by inputting the food and drink menu according to the guidance display, the kitchen and the accounting are displayed. When data is transmitted to the place, the subordinate relationship of the lower menu to the upper menu of the food and drink menu data becomes clear. Also,
If the sub menu is optional, you can skip the input operation with a simple key operation. In the case of forced input, the transition to the next step is prohibited until the required number of sub menus have been input. . Moreover, when a sub-menu, which is a lower-level menu for the main menu, is entered as an upper-level menu, the unit price flag PF is set and a "tanker" message is displayed to force the unit price input, so that it is treated as an upper-level menu. Be seen. Therefore, there is no risk of disturbing the normal work without disturbing the master-slave relationship judgment in the kitchen or printing out the food and drink menu data in an uncookable form. As a result, there is no risk of issuing a sub-menu different from the customer's order, serving food and drink menus with different cooking methods, and not charging the wrong fee at the accounting location, which can improve serviceability. .

Also, when the same food menu as the food menu already stored in the table order memory 53 is input, only the number of data in the table order memory 53 is added so that new data is not generated. The effective use of the memory can be achieved and the amount of printing on the receipt can be reduced, which can bring about effects such as shortening of accounting time and cost.

Further, in the confirmation mode, the data displayed on the display unit 13 can be erased or corrected by a simple key operation. Further, when the upper menu is deleted, the lower menu corresponding to the upper menu is automatically deleted. Therefore, the input data can be easily corrected and erased, and the operability can be improved.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, although the food and drink menu ordering device that transmits order data by using the wireless line is illustrated in the above embodiment, the data may be transferred by directly connecting to the connector part of the sale merchandise registration device. . Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the data for one audience seat is input and transmitted to the table order memory 53 is shown, but the data for a plurality of audience seats may be continuously input and transmitted via the header.
