Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cafeteria management device that accurately and efficiently performs operations such as ordering, serving food, and paying bills in a deferred payment cafeteria.

Traditionally, in deferred-pay restaurants, when customers were seated at a table, the servers would take their orders, write them on a slip, and hand the slip to the kitchen staff before they began cooking.
At this time, the attendant memorizes the customer's table number and
When the ordered food was ready, it was delivered to the table along with the slip. When the meal was finished, the customer would take the slip to the register, and the cashier would issue a receipt based on the slip and settle the bill. in this way,
Because the waiter went to the customer, listened to the order, and wrote it on the slip, and when the kitchen staff saw the slip, the cashier performed the prescribed actions, making it easy for mistakes to occur in ordering, serving food, or paying the bill. Moreover, it was inefficient. Furthermore, if there are multiple servers or there are many types and quantities of ordered items, it is difficult to accurately determine the number of each item to be prepared in the kitchen.
It takes time or it becomes difficult to serve the food in the order ordered.
There were problems such as incorrect serving of food and customers having to wait for a long time.

The present invention aims to improve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a register terminal device, a screen assisting display device, a serving display device, and an ordering terminal device for each table, which are controlled by a central processing unit. By doing so, tasks such as ordering, serving, and payment can be carried out accurately and with high efficiency.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The drawing is a block diagram of a system according to the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an ordering terminal device installed at each customer table or room. This ordering terminal device 1 is
This CRT has a CRT display section 2 and a light bezel 3.
In addition to displaying a menu on the display section 2, it also stores and displays order data regarding the item name and quantity for each department selected by the light ben 3 from this menu, as well as this order data, data on the table and room number where the customer is seated,
It is configured to be able to transmit input data such as serving completion data. Reference numeral 4 denotes a central processing unit (CPU) that arithmetic processes input data from the ordering terminal device 1 and controls data transmission between each device.

Reference numeral 5 indicates a display device for the kitchen, and reference numeral 6 indicates a display device for lighting. When order data is sent from the device 1, table number data for each menu item is displayed in the order of order by a control signal via the central processing unit 4, and the table number data for each item of the menu is displayed in the order of order, and the order is placed from the order terminal device 1 by the server's operation. When the completion data is sent, the table numbers of the items for which serving has been completed are erased by a control signal via the central processing unit 4, and the table numbers for which serving has not been completed are sequentially shifted to the left.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a register terminal device connected to the central processing unit 4. This register terminal device 9 uses table keys 10 and numeric keys 11 to read order data corresponding to the table number from the order terminal device 1, and also reads the order data corresponding to the table number. is displayed on the CRT display unit 12, a receipt 14 is issued by a reset signal generated by the settlement key 13, and input data of the order terminal device 1 is reset.

The register terminal device 9 also includes a CRT display section 15 for customers that displays the same content as the CRT display section 12;
A preset keyboard section 16 is coupled thereto for presetting and inputting menu items and prices. Next, the effect will be explained.

In advance, the items and prices that can be prepared are input into the register terminal device 9 by department such as "Japanese food", "Western food", "Chinese food", etc. from the printer keyboard section 16.

The function screen 17 on the right side of the CRT display section 2 of the ordering terminal device 1 displays a total of 20 functions, including departments 18 such as "Washoku", "Shishoku", and "Chuuka", and functions 19 such as "Trikes", "Order", and "Heizen". It is displayed.
In addition, the menu screen 21 on the left side includes item 22 and price 2.
3. The presence or absence of an order and the number 24, and the presence or absence of serving and the number 25 are displayed. Now, if the customer selects the "Chuuka" category on the Light Ben 3, the menu screen 21 on the left side of the CRT display section 2 will display "Ramen 300" and "Fried Rice 40".
Item names and prices of the Chinese menu are displayed, such as "0"... Next, if the customer orders 2 pieces each of ``Ramen'' and ``Rice,'' item 22, ``
If you touch "Ramen" and "Rice" twice with the light ben, the order quantity 24 column will change from "0" to "
2” is memorized and displayed. These input data from the light ben 3 are transmitted together with the table number data to the central processing unit 4, and the control signals processed here are transmitted to the respective devices 5, 6, and 9. In addition, in response to this control signal, the ordering terminal device 1 displays the total column 2, ie, "Gokey 840". The kitchen display device 5 and the whale grooming display device 6 each have a CRT display section 7.8 that displays, for example, "Ramen 05-10-12 (03)" or "Rice 15-05 (02).
)", the item 26, order order table number 27, and total order number 28 are displayed. This allows the customer to know the total amount of the ordered items, the kitchen staff to know the items to be prepared and the quantity, and the servers to be able to know the items to be served by the table number in order of order. Now, suppose that two pieces of ramen and one piece of rice have been served, and the server has finished serving two pieces of ramen and one piece of rice.
Touch Light Ben 3 on the ``Haizen'' part of 9, then select the number of winnings column 25 corresponding to ``Ramen'' and ``Rice''.
Touch with the light ben 3 for the number of servings to input the serving completion data. Then, ramen and rice order quantity column 2
4 has changed from “2” to “0”, and the number of servings column 25 has changed from “2” to “
1", and only one rice is left unserved (display example in the figure). On the other hand, the serving completion data is also transmitted to the kitchen display device 5 and the serving display device 6 via the central processing unit 4. "15" and "15" in the order table number column 27 disappear, and the table numbers "05", "10" and "12" to be cooked next are shifted to the left,
Further, the total number of orders column also changes from "05" to "03", indicating that the number of partially cooked and unserved items is "3". Similarly, for rice, "15" disappears from the pillar table number column 27, the remaining table numbers "15" and "05" are shifted to the left, and the total order number column 28 also changes from "3" to "2". , it shows that the table numbers "15" and "05" each have one each, totaling two, which is the number of dishes cooked and served. Further, the case of additional orders is exactly the same as the above explanation. Next, we will explain the case where you pay after finishing your meal.

When the customer tells the cashier the table number "15",
Table key 10 of cashier's register terminal device 9
and press "1" and "5" on the numeric keypad 11. Then,
An issue control signal from the register terminal device 9 via the central processing unit 4 enters the order terminal device 1, from which input data and processing data are issued. With this, CR
As shown in the figure, the T display section 12 displays the table number "15".
” and order item name, price and quantity “Ramen, 300,
2'' and ``Rice, 120, 2'' are displayed, as well as the total ``840'' and the time ``5:30 PM''. These same contents are also displayed on the customer CRT display section 15,
Once the customer sees this and confirms it, the fee will be paid. Then, when the cashier presses the payment key 13,
A reset signal is generated, and this reset signal issues a receipt 14 for the customer, and is also transmitted to the order terminal device 1 via the central processing unit 4, resets the order data and processing data, and displays the CRT display section 2. Total column 20 on the menu screen 21 on the left and the function screen 17 on the right
