Description

The invention relates to a method for providing baked goods of at least one defined type in a sales shop, a number of dough pieces of the baked goods of the type being kept ready in the sales shop, the inventory of these dough pieces being recorded via a data processing system, with dough pieces of the type in at least one oven are baked in batches, batches of baked dough pieces of the type being kept ready for sale in the store, with the data processing system recording the stock of baked goods of the type still available and the age of the batch from the completion of the baking process, depending on the stock of existing baked goods the kind a post-baking of dough pieces of the kind in the oven.

In bakery branches that are connected to supermarkets, for example, it is common for dough pieces to be delivered in the morning, which are baked over the course of a day in an on-site oven and kept ready for sale in the store.

The amount of dough pieces delivered should in any case cover the expected demand of the day. At the end of the day, the unused dough pieces must be disposed of. In some cases, however, it is necessary to bake them before they can be used as animal feed, for example.

The disadvantage is that a certain amount of baking effort has to be carried out towards the evening, which causes costs without any noteworthy benefit being drawn from this.

The invention is based on the object of providing a generic method for providing baked goods with which it is possible to always have the freshest possible goods available for customers in the store, taking into account the dough pieces still to be consumed on a sales day.

The solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that when a batch of baked goods of a defined type reaches a predetermined age, dough pieces of this type are re-baked and, after the baking process, a batch of baked goods of the type with a higher age is replaced by the newly baked batch of Baked goods of the type is replaced, the exchange of the baked goods of the type being registered by the data processing system.

The re-baking and the replacement of a batch of baked goods of this type are preferably only carried out when a predetermined time has been reached (e.g. from 4:00 p.m. if the store closes at 7:00 p.m.).

Preferably, however, it is provided that the subsequent baking and the replacement of a batch of baked goods of the type takes place only if the stock of dough pieces of the type is above a value stored in the data processing system (remaining stock of dough pieces).

The specified age of a batch of baked goods of this type is mostly between 60 minutes and 180 minutes. However, it can of course be specified individually for each type of baked good.

A signal can be output via the data processing system when dough pieces of this type are to be re-baked. This signal can be an acoustic or visual signal. In the latter case, provision can be made for the visual signal to be transmitted to a person working in the retail store via data glasses or a wearable (see below).

The data processing system preferably comprises a cash register which records the sales transactions of the baked goods of the type. However, a cash register is also to be understood as any other type of recording system that registers the sale of baked goods, for example optical product recording, which the baked goods are passed by when they are sold, so that it can determine that the inventory is in place on the baked goods in question reduced by one unit.

The method mentioned can be carried out for several baked goods or snacks of different types.

The proposed concept is therefore based on the idea of recording the amount of sold baked goods of a specific type via the data processing system; the age of a batch of baked goods (i.e. the time between the completion of the baked goods and the current time; the corresponding information is entered into the data processing system) is also recorded (via a corresponding data entry into the data processing system, which can be done automatically or by a person) as soon as the newly baked goods are ready for sale). It is thus known in the data processing system which stock of baked goods is present and at what age. The stock of dough pieces that are still in the store for this day is still stored in the data processing system. Is a stored age of a batch of baked goods that has not yet or only partially sold off, and if there is still such a large stock of dough pieces available that exceeds the expected daily requirement, the data processing system thus triggers a signal which indicates to the staff in the sales shop that a batch of said baked goods is being baked should. Once this has happened, the older batch of baked goods or the remaining stock of this batch is replaced by the newly baked batch of baked goods.

This ensures that the remaining dough pieces that are to be baked at the end of the day are baked and, at the same time, baked goods that are as fresh as possible are always kept ready for customers without additional costs and in particular without increased energy requirements.

The re-baking of dough pieces takes place before the actual need, as has otherwise been customary so far, in order to have fresher goods available for the customer.

The proposed method can of course also be used analogously if the baked product is one that is part of a product intended for consumption, for example a snack consisting of a roll that is smeared with butter and topped with sausage or cheese becomes. Analogously, the age of such a product can also be recorded here and the baked product can be re-baked from the dough pieces when a predetermined age has been reached.

In the figure, an embodiment of the invention is shown. The figure shows some elements of a sales shop in the form of a bakery.

In the figure, a bakery (in the present case a bakery branch or a bakery in the food retail trade) is indicated, referred to above as a retail store. The retail store is with an oven 4th equipped in the dough pieces 2 to baked goods 1 can be baked.

In the store, dough pieces are made 2 kept ready that are delivered in the morning and that over the course of a day in the oven 4th be baked. The amount of dough pieces delivered corresponds to the expected daily requirement, which is based on empirical values.

There is also a data processing system in the store 3 with cash register 6th . The data processing system 3 is suitable for recording and managing all relevant data. The cash register can alternatively also be designed as an optical detection system which is suitable for detecting a sales transaction (optical product detection).

First of all, how many dough pieces are recorded 2 are delivered and are therefore available in the morning. Indicated in the figure are four sheets, each with a batch of dough pieces 2 .

The recording of the quantity of existing dough pieces delivered in the morning 2 can, if necessary, be entered directly into the data processing system via a merchandise management system 3 be fed in, electronic recording by other means is also possible, for example via an e-mail that is sent to the branch and in which the amount of the planned dough pieces 2 is communicated. Otherwise, the initial stock of dough pieces can also be entered into the data processing system by a person working in the sales business 3 can be entered.

Becomes a batch (ie a sheet of) dough pieces 2 in the oven 4th baked and then brought into the sales display (left in the figure), this is also done in the data processing system 3 registers what can be done automatically with a sensor system if necessary, but can usually be done directly by a person working in the sales business. This also records the point in time at which the newly baked batch of baked goods was completed and brought to the sales display (with which the age of the batch can be determined at any time).

Becomes a baked good 1 sold, this is done through the cash register 6th detected. As the cash register 6th Part of the data processing system 3 is, the latter registers that the inventory of baked goods 1 has decreased accordingly.

It is known to the extent that re-baking takes place as soon as there is a stock of baked goods 1 falls below a specified minimum value.

• Ist eine bestimmte Uhrzeit erreicht (z. B. 13:00 Uhr) und ist noch ein Bestand an Teiglingen 2 vorhanden, der voraussichtlich höher als der noch zu erwartende Bedarf an diesem Tag ist, und falls weiterhin das Alter der letzten Charge an Backwaren 1 einen gespeicherten vorgegebenen Wert überschritten hat (z. B. größer als 90 Minuten), veranlasst das Datenverarbeitungssystem 3 die Ausgabe eines Signals S, welches dem Verkaufspersonal anzeigt, dass eine neue Charge Teiglinge 2 aufgebacken werden soll.

In the present case, however, in addition to this known method, the following procedure is used:

• Has a certain time been reached (e.g. 1:00 p.m.) and there is still a stock of dough pieces 2 is available, which is likely to be higher than the demand still to be expected on this day, and if still the age of the last batch of baked goods 1 has exceeded a stored predetermined value (e.g. greater than 90 minutes), the data processing system will initiate 3 the output of a signal S. , which indicates to the sales staff that a new batch of dough pieces 2 should be baked.

The signal can be transmitted via data glasses 5 carried out by a person working in the sales business, so that a corresponding visual signal is transmitted to it. Such data glasses give the person a direct visual indication or can also project information directly onto the retina of the person wearing the glasses.

As an alternative to data glasses, a so-called wearable with a display, in particular in the form of a wristwatch, can also be provided. This type of electronic device is worn by a person and allows information to be displayed with its display.

The proposed method is particularly advantageous for dough pieces 2 that are only usable for the current day and then have to be used for other purposes, for example as animal feed.

In the case mentioned by way of example, the dough pieces have to be baked beforehand 2 required what is used in the present case in order to be able to always have fresh baked goods available for the customers.
