2 a diagram of human resources and payroll accounting;

3 a diagram of the cash register systems;

4 an inventory diagram;

5 a diagram of the company accounting and

6 a diagram of the building management

In 1 is a highly schematic diagram shown, by means of which the relationships will be explained in more detail according to the invention.

vicarious for any different companies are with the Box A and B illustrates two companies that Although legally separate, but economically could work together to balance their resources of the personnel, the merchandise management, the operating account, the Administration, security measures, building management and also to optimize the accounting. This list above of different company divisions in different companies makes no claim to completeness and is expressly intended here only mentioned and dealt with by way of example.

In the diagram according to 1 A is a first company and B a second company. Companies A and B each have business units A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5, respectively B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5. A1 and B1 can each represent human resources with payroll accounting; A2 and B2 the merchandise management; A3 and B3 the POS system; A4 and B4 the company accounting; A5 and B5 the building management.

A central data processing system DV works independently of companies A and B or their divisions A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5, or B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5, however, has anytime Access to all these areas A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5, or B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 of companies A and B. is made possible this unlimited access through input-output devices I / O, which in any way with the central data processing system DV as well as memory devices M and controllable devices C is connected. The arbitrary connection can be through a computer network be realized, which is formed by telecommunications connections and works both wired and wireless.

The Input and output devices I / O can be in every affiliate A and B and also outside The company should be arranged when dealing with these over a network are connected.

One Users can therefore access operating data from almost any location access the companies and retrieve and change them. He can also from almost any point to the controllable Access devices C and control them by input commands. Prerequisite for this, however, is an appropriate authorization but that is not the subject of the present invention.

Based a concrete example from the catering should the advantages in the application of the invention below in more detail be explained.

One Entrepreneur operates two farms, once the restaurant A and also the hotel B. He has staff for it employed in restaurant A and staff at hotel B. The personnel-relevant Data for these employees is in payroll accounting which are assigned to the Human Resources division A1 or B1 of the company A or B belongs. In the divisions Personnel A1 or B1 will be the personnel-relevant data of the Employees summarized, managed, possibly changed and to pay their wages and salaries determined. Specifically, this can be the creation of an employment contract be, including the recording of their qualifications, the creation a roster, the time recording and the resulting Payroll. If the time registration matches and the roster shall be the agreed remuneration of The payroll accounting determines and enterprise over the enterprise area Accounting A4 or B4 paid out.

If, for reasons of varying capacity utilization in company A, he has a personal shortage If the company management determines that the staff in the B operation is not busy at this time, the company management, after checking the qualification, can change the duty roster in the B factory and transfer personnel to the A work. In order to make this possible, the responsible user can check the personal situation in operation A and in operation B via the input and output device I / O. To do this, he queries the time recording modules of both companies and compares them with the duty rosters and the current turnover or the occupancy in the restaurant operation A or the hotel B. If this comparison should show that the staff at the hotel B are idling while Restaurant A is fully occupied, the user can change the roster of personnel who have the appropriate qualifications to assist in Restaurant A. The staff transferred to the restaurant A thus automatically receives a changed roster and the access authorization for the restaurant A, and the payroll area B1 of the hotel B offsets the changed working hours with the payroll area A1 from the restaurant A.

As already indicated, are the rosters of the staff with the access authorizations of the individual companies A, B or whose corporate divisions A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, or B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, adjusted, which ensures that only authorized persons access to individual companies A, B and their business units A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5, or B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 have. As a result, the merchandise management A2 and B2; the POS systems A3 and B3; the company accounting A4 and B4 as well as the building management A5 and B5 with the Security department aware of the changed roster, if these areas are affected by the changes. Any authorized user can therefore at any time from any place record the current workforce in each area of the company.

This The procedure described on the basis of the personal data can be determined with the help of Invention also in other areas of corporate leadership and control are used successfully.

at gastronomic businesses - including hotels - are For example, in the field of inventory management also links with access control, door management, room reservation, with table reservations, POS systems, recipe administrations, dispensing systems, and the like possible.

By way of example, some structures of these corporate areas will be briefly explained below, whereby in these embodiments the emphasis is on reservation and building management:
In the graph of the 2 is the corporate area of Human Resources and Payroll illustrated. Employees with the help of a contract generator after entering their personal data and depositing their personal documents in the document management a relatively individual contract of employment is generated, in which its Qualifika tions, a job description, remuneration, etc. is taken into account. The payroll receives this knowledge. The demand request identifies a suitable employee based on the employment contracts and assigns them to the area that requested them. Based on the requirements, rosters are created. The time recording devices record the actual presence of employees and, in conjunction with payroll accounting - if applicable, including the cash register systems - determine the respective remuneration.

Further advantageous applications of the invention will become apparent with the aid of the business sector of the POS systems A3 / B3, which will be described below with reference to FIG 3 is explained. The POS system management receives the data via the input / output devices I / O to a table reservation connected to the table management. If an order is placed on the reserved table, this registers the table management and allows the connected controllable devices C to execute the order. The controllable devices C may be the dispensing system, the coffee machine, the cocktail machine, the kitchen or other facilities and / or facilities. In the dispensing system, the cocktail machine, the coffee machine and the kitchen can be triggered by this measure and processes in the recipe management. For example, if the order reads, "An xxx cocktail for Table 7," the recipe manager issues a clearance for the xxx cocktail to the cocktail machine, and that xxx cocktail for table 7 is booked at the point-of-sale terminal. Furthermore, the production of an xxx cocktail is registered in the production and reported to the merchandise management.

This again affects the goods issue, the warehouse management, the inventory, the ordering system and finally the goods receipt, where the newly delivered articles are registered. The above-described facts in the inventory management scheme of 4 outlined.

In 5 is a structure of the company accounting presented, what accordingly 1 can be designated A4 or B4. Company accounting includes the following blocks: Accounts Payable; Accounts Receivable Accounting; Dunning; accounting; Profit and loss planning; Planning, cost-performance accounting; Control and statistics, which should be indicated schematically by the correspondingly designated boxes. Order and completeness are not taken into account here.

A building management scheme is based on 6 illustrated. For a hotel, room reservations are state of the art. Within a building management system according to the invention, however, access controls and door management via the device according to the invention can also advantageously be carried out. As in the prior art, a room is reserved for a certain period of time. In time before the scheduled arrival of the guest, the energy supply of the reserved room is driven up. This means that the power supply and the air conditioning is turned on, so that the guest on arrival a tempered room - whether by air conditioning or heating - finds. Likewise, the minibar is cooled etc. If necessary, multimedia offers are provided for the guest, which can be done via a multimedia control. As soon as the guest takes over the reserved room, he gets an access authorization in any form, for example by means of an RFID chip, so that from this time on only the authorized guest has access to the room. Earlier access authorizations of the personnel expire as soon as the guest is in the room, which is regulated by the registration via the door management. When the guest leaves the room - which is recognized by the door management - the building management can control the power supply according to the guest's plans. If he remains a guest, the energy supply is maintained, he leaves the hotel in the long run, the energy supply is shut down. From this point on, the staff will have access to the room, which will be monitored and controlled by access control and door management. About the mentioned occupancy movements also receives the security department.

It It is understood that the applications listed are the invention not restrict, but just explain, What is possible with the subject invention.

So it is with the device according to the invention possible, in the simplest way for all employees create a roster, manage it and as needed to change. The creation of a pool of employees with all Master data of the employees is just as possible. The aforementioned employee administration allows an optimization of employee use by company, permanent establishment, Company area and location.

Further The access control allows an exact time recording regarding the actual attendance times and at Errors, if necessary, their correction. With the help of Cash register systems can be the respective personal Turnover of the employees, the total turnover, the commodity group and their Breakdown on food and drinks, but also according to season, time of day, season and possibly even to determine weather.

Out this disaggregated operating data can be data for the merchandise management and statistical data, which forecasts for the optimization of personnel and use of goods depending on season, season and even weather permitting.

By the immediately achievable transparency of the actual Costs at any time an intervention in the financial accounting is possible.

Analogous to the described application examples from the catering industry can the invention also successfully used in other industries become.
