Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for monitoring the delivery of drinks in restaurants or the like, an authorized person having to identify himself by an identifier and a device for monitoring the delivery of drinks from dispensing points at reference stations or the like, in particular in restaurants.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages of creating an improved method and a corresponding device for monitoring the beverage dispensing.
  • the above-mentioned object is achieved by a method for monitoring the delivery of drinks in restaurants or the like, whereby an authorized person has to identify himself by means of an identification, which is characterized in that the delivery of drinks is kept free that an alarm signal is given when dispensing a beverage without entering an identification takes place that the alarm signal is only terminated when the identification is carried out and that the removed beverage liquid is assigned to the identification used to delete the alarm.
  • a device for monitoring the delivery of drinks from dispensing points at reference stations or the like, in particular in restaurants with at least one dispensing point, a reference station, an identifier and a removal detector provides that at least one dispensing point associated with an identification station and at least one removal detector are connected in such a way that they trigger an alarm signal if, when the removal detector responds, the identification transmitter is not activated and the alarm signal can be terminated by activating the identification transmitter and that an extraction counter is connected to the extraction detector in such a way that a beverage removal before activation of the identification transmitter is assigned to the identification activating the identification transmitter.
  • the invention does not block a beverage delivery if the identification process of the individual connoisseur was not initially carried out, the invention rather goes the way in this case to have the beverage delivered, but at the same time to trigger an alarm signal which the waiter in question mistakenly forgot to carry out the identification, causes this to be done, whereupon, in order not to have to book the amount of beverage already withdrawn as a loss, this is assigned to the identifier and thus to the corresponding waiter by whom or by which the alarm was ended. This avoids a hindrance to the operational flow, but nevertheless enables reliable detection and assignment of the amount of beverage removed.
  • the amount of liquid withdrawn is measured using a flow meter, e.g. according to DE-A-34 42 358, measured via pulses generated by the latter, without necessarily providing a forced shutdown; the waiter can freely remove the desired quantity after entering his code, without being restricted in any way.
  • the quantity withdrawn is only determined.
  • an extremely preferred embodiment provides that the amount of beverage tapped during an identification process is recorded in units and / or portions, in particular providing that a portion counter is reset when an identifier termination process is carried out. So that we do not add up withdrawals over several withdrawals, this cannot lead to a serving portion adding up an amount of liquid that they could then sell as a portion that they would not have to settle with the restaurant owner.
  • a portion counter is reset after a predetermined dispensing time he follows. In this way, even with very long dispensing operations for several portions, an addition of reduced withdrawals can be avoided by always assigning the portions of the removed beverage quantity after a predetermined time.
  • the invention provides that a portion detection is carried out for dispensing portions of different sizes and that an alarm signal is triggered if the portion size is not entered, or the device according to the invention is characterized by portion size selectors connected to the alarm transmitter.
  • acoustic alarm signals are triggered and that optical alarm signals are triggered, a preferred refinement being characterized in particular in that different optical and / or acoustic alarm signals are triggered in the absence of the identification and / or portion size detection. In this way, the waiter can easily determine on the basis of which deficiency the alarm was triggered, whether the identification was not carried out correctly or the portion selection was not carried out.
  • Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that after a predetermined time in which no drink has been withdrawn, the portion selection is deleted or that the total amount withdrawn from each drink is recorded.
  • the removal detectors of the device according to the invention can either be flow meters, as are known per se from DE-A-34 42 358, to which reference is made, or sensors connected to beverage portioners, such as are available, for example, in the case of spirits removal devices. While when using flow meters, as is desirable for beverages that are tapped in larger portions, such as beer, the flow rate is recorded and, if necessary, assigned to individual portions, the number of portions is only counted by the triggering processes in the latter sensors.
  • Identifier can either be a keyboard for entering an identification code or a receptacle for inserting an identification or code element, such as a code pen, an identification key or a code card.
  • the invention makes it possible to retrofit an existing dispensing system and still achieve reliable dispensing control. It is possible to control and record not only beverages such as beer drawn from larger containers, but also other beverages such as spirits.
  • An important advantage of the invention is that the operational sequence is not interrupted by a blocking of the beverage take-off if the identification is missing, and the beverage removal is nevertheless reliably recorded.
  • a first dispensing or dispensing station 1 is provided for "open" beverages present in large containers, such as barrels, and beverages to be drawn from them, such as beer, water, lemonades, possibly also wine or the like.
  • the dispensing station 1 has lines 4 leading from the containers 2 containing the liquid to taps 3, in which flow meters 6, such as flow meters according to DE-OS 34 42 358, are arranged.
  • the dispensing station 1 also has buttons 7 with which portion sizes can be selected, such as for beer 0.33, 0.5 or 1 liter or for lemonade 0.25 and 0.5 liters etc.
  • the one assigned to the respective portion button 7 Quantity can be preset in any suitable way.
  • An identifier 8 is also assigned to each dispensing station.
  • the identifier 8 can be a letter or numeric keyboard with which a code number is entered. It can also be a holder for a code pen, a code key, a code card or the like.
  • the identifier 8 is connected to a processing unit 12 via signal lines 9 such as portion keys 7, taps 3 and flow meters 6 via signal lines 11.
  • the second removal station 20 serves to remove beverages from small containers, such as spirits from bottles 21.
  • the station 20 has portioners 22 which are connected to the processing unit 12 via signal lines 23. Applicable portioners are known per se and are commercially available. They can also be provided with conventional non-contact or touch contactors or can be easily provided.
  • an identifier 8 is provided, which is connected to processing station 12 via signal line 9.
  • the third beverage delivery station 30 is a hot beverage station for delivering coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc.
  • a dispensing station for mixed or mixed drinks can be provided, which fundamentally corresponds to dispensing station 1, but the possibility offers to mix different drinks, such as lemonade and cola, in a desired predetermined ratio.
  • This station has, like the first station, taps 3, beverage containers 2 ', portion keys 7 and an identifier 8, which are connected to the central unit via corresponding signal lines 9, 12.
  • the central unit 12 can be connected to output units 51, such as a printer, or control units 52, such as an input computer.
  • the identifier 8 To remove drinks, on the one hand, the identifier 8 must be actuated by a waiter entering the corresponding code number or his individual code element, such as a code pen, key, code card or the like, only in relation to itself and in another context, for example from DE-U-87 09 268 is known, inserted into the identifier 8. Insofar as portion selection buttons 7 are available at a delivery station, the waiter must continue to specify the desired portion sizes before removing the beverage.
  • a drink has different prices depending on the portion size converted to a unit quantity, for example a price of DM 2 for a portion size of 0.25 liters and a price of DM for a portion size of 0.5 liters 3.50, so that there are liter prices of DM 8 or DM 7, so different liter prices.
  • an acoustic and / or visual alarm signal sounds above the alarm device 13.
  • the alarm signal is only switched off when the identifier is entered into the identifier 8, for example the code typed or the corresponding code element is inserted. In the preferred embodiment, it is not provided that removal is blocked before the identifier is entered. Rather, in this case only the alarm is triggered and the amount of beverage already removed is assigned to the identifier that was entered after the alarm was triggered or to the waiter who inserted his code element. As a result, if a waiter forgets to enter the identifier or insert a code element, in particular the operating sequence is not stopped, but only the waiter is reminded that he still has to carry out the identification process.
  • an alarm signal is triggered if the corresponding portion selection is not carried out at reference stations which are provided with portion selectors 7, where appropriate a corresponding signal transmitter 13 can be different or the signal transmitter 13 emits a different signal, for example an acoustic signal of different frequency compared to the frequency of the signal which is output if there is no identifier or an optical signal which also has a different flashing frequency or color, so that the waiter can immediately recognize which priority has not been triggered Identification or portion selection.
  • a timer is provided, for example in the processing unit 12, by a clock known per se (quartz crystal with divider circuit and counter), which resets a selected portion size after a predetermined time, for example ten seconds, if within the stated time the drink itself is not requested.
  • a clock known per se quartz crystal with divider circuit and counter
  • the portions are counted from zero again, without taking into account the shortage in the previous dispensing process, so that less spigots cannot be added up.
  • a corresponding portion counter is reset to zero after a dispensing break or a predetermined time.
  • the deducted volume can be assigned to the corresponding portion size in the same way.
  • the processing unit 12 detects the total volume of beverages drawn off, in order, for example, to emit a corresponding signal when a tank is empty or almost empty according to the measured flow rate to indicate that a new tank or a new keg is to be made available .
  • the wallet 22 has a contact which is triggered at the same time as the name of the beverage.
  • a beverage is removed, for example, by pressing a glass against a lever of a shut-off valve, whereby the Valve is opened and the portion of beverage can run out.
  • the number of portions taken depending on the corresponding type of beverage, can be recognized and assigned.
