Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to an order data management device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in restaurants such as restaurants, a restaurant system has been used in order to accurately and quickly transmit orders from customers to cooks. The restaurant system, for example, is provided with a plurality of handy terminals individually carried by a clerk, an order data management device, a kitchen printer installed in a kitchen or the like, and an electronic cash register installed in an accounting processing unit, which are communicably provided. Things.

In such a restaurant system, an order data management device creates order data based on a product code wirelessly communicated from a handy terminal, and transmits the created order data to an electronic cash register and a kitchen printer via a LAN. And send to.

[0004] The kitchen printer includes a receiving unit that receives the order data transmitted from the order data management device, and a printing unit that prints out the contents based on the order data received by the receiving unit. The output form of the order data from the kitchen printer differs depending on the store, but is roughly divided into a form in which the order data is output in order units,
There is a mode in which the output is performed separately for each menu unit. Also,
There is also a kitchen printer which outputs a menu when the same menu is ordered a plurality of times, together with the order number of the menu.

[0005] In actual operation, the cook cooks according to the order data printed out from the kitchen printer and places the cooked dish on a plate.

[0006] By the way, with regard to the preparation of cooked dishes, there are operations in which a plurality of identical menus ordered at the same time are arranged on the same plate, and operations in which a plurality of similar menus are arranged on the same plate. There is a store that goes. As an example of such an operation, for example, when a plurality of identical menus are ordered in a yakiniku restaurant or the like, such as two servings or three servings, a plurality of identical menus ordered at the same time are placed in the same dish. When multiple similar menus such as skewers are ordered at a yakitori store, etc., multiple menus ordered at the same time are served on the same plate and served. Operation.

[0007]

However, as described above, since the kitchen printer outputs order data in order units or menu units, it is necessary to arrange a plurality of types of dishes on the same plate. In this case, the order data of the dish to be served on the same plate and the order data of the dish to be served on a plate different from this dish are mixed and output. Cannot be output.

For this reason, in actual operation, if order data received at the same dining table is order data of the same dish or a similar dish, the cook classifies the dishes to be served on the same dish, and the cook overlooks it. It is feared that leakage such as occurs.

In the above-described technique, the number of orders is output for each piece of order data that has been mixed and output. I can't tell you how much volume a dish served on a plate has in total.

[0010] For this reason, in actual operation, it is not possible to accurately grasp the size of the dish to be used, and there is a concern that a situation may occur in which the dishes cannot be fully loaded at the stage where the dishes are halfway arranged.

[0011] In such a case, additional servings are to be served by serving the leaked amount on another plate. However, the number of plates may increase and the plate may not be placed on the dining table, or the impression on the customer may be reduced. I am worried.

Further, the determination of serving the same dish or a similar dish on the same dish is often mainly given by, for example, a chef or the like in a kitchen. Is more likely to occur.

[0013] It is an object of the present invention to provide an order data management device capable of facilitating determination of a dish to be served on the same dish when serving dishes on the same data on order data received at the same dining table. And

[0014] It is an object of the present invention to provide an order data management device which can easily determine the size of a dish on which dishes are served when dishes on order data received at the same dining table are served on the same dish. And

[0015] It is an object of the present invention to provide an order data management device which can easily determine the type of dish on which dishes are served when dishes on order data received at the same dining table are served on the same dish. And

[0016]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an order data management apparatus comprising: a combination information table for storing, for each product code, combination information for specifying a combination of dishes to be served on the same plate; Receiving from the outside as order data, combination information selecting means for obtaining the combination information corresponding to the product code received by the receiving means with reference to the combination information table, and obtaining the combination information selecting means. Based on the combination information, the product codes associated with the same combination information are classified as the same combination group, and the print data created based on the order data is divided into the same combination groups, and Print data output means for outputting to a printer.

Therefore, referring to the combination information table, the product codes associated with the same combination information are classified as the same combination group based on the combination information corresponding to the product code as the order data received from the outside. The print data created based on the order data is divided into the same combination groups and output to the kitchen printer. Thus, for example, by setting the same combination information for each classification unit that classifies the same dish or similar dishes collectively, when serving dishes for order data received at the same dining table on the same dish, This makes it easy to determine which dishes to serve on the same plate.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the order data management apparatus of the first aspect, the print data output means individually outputs the print data in the same combination group.

Therefore, the print data is output individually in the same combination group. This makes it easier for the cook to determine which dishes to serve on the same plate.

I do.

Therefore, with reference to the weight table, print data in which plate size information corresponding to the weight data of the entire single same combination group is assigned to each of the same combination groups is output. In this way, for example, by associating weight data corresponding to the content of the dish, the number of orders, and the like with the dish size information, the dish is served when the dish for the order data received at the same dining table is served on the same dish. This makes it easy to determine the size of the dish.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the order data management device according to the first, second or third aspect, wherein a dish type table for storing, for each of the combination information, dish type information for specifying the type of dish on which the dish is to be served. Dish type information selecting means for obtaining the dish type information corresponding to the combination information by referring to the dish type table, and wherein the print data output means comprises the dish type information for each of the same combination groups. The print data to which the dish type information obtained by the selection means is added is output.

Accordingly, print data in which the dish type information acquired with reference to the dish type table is assigned to each same combination group is output. In this way, by setting the dish type information for each combination information, it is possible to easily determine the type of dish on which the dishes are served when the dishes for the order data received at the same dining table are served on the same dish. become.

Next, the processing executed by the CPU 14 based on the control program stored in the ROM 16 will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart schematically showing a print data combination process among the processes executed by the CPU 14 based on the control program stored in the ROM 16. In the print data combination process, the process waits until it is determined that the order data output from the handy terminal 3 has been received (S1).

When it is determined in step S1 that the order data output from the handy terminal 3 has been received (S1).
Y), the combination data 25 corresponding to the product code 2 constituting the order data with reference to the product data table 18.
And dish type data 26 is acquired (S2). Here, in step S2, functions as combination information selection means and dish type information selection means are executed.

In addition, it is determined whether or not the combination data 25 obtained in step S2 is "0" (S3).

If it is determined in step S3 that the combination data 25 obtained in step S2 is not "0",
(N in S3), the order data storage area 20 stored in the RAM 17 is searched, and in the same combination group 31 related to the order data in the order data storage area 20, the product code 2 and the The same combination group 3 to which the same combination data 25 is associated
It is determined whether there is 1 (S4).

In step S4, the order data storage area 2
0, it is determined that there is no identical combination group 31 in which the same combination data 25 as the product code 2 constituting the order data is included in the same combination group 31 related to the order data (S4). N), the same combination group 31 storing the product code 2 for which it is determined that there is no same combination group 31 to which the same combination data 25 is associated is newly created, and the products are added to the newly created same combination group 31. The code 2 is stored (S5).

On the other hand, in step S 4, the same combination data 25 as the product code 2 constituting the order data is associated with the same combination group 31 relating to the order data in the order data storage area 20. When it is determined that there is a combination group 31 (Y in S4), the same combination data 25 associates the product code 2 determined to have the same combination group 31 with which the same combination data 25 is associated. The same combination group 31 is additionally stored (S6).

It should be noted that the new same combination group 31 once created in step S5 is then made into the existing same combination group 31, and the same combination data 25 is associated when the next product code 2 is classified. If there is a product code 2, the product code 2 is classified into a single identical combination group 31.

Subsequently, group weight data W is acquired for each same combination group 31 based on the code weight data 27 and the number of orders 30 associated with each product code 2 (S7). Here, in step S7, a function as a weight acquiring unit is executed.

Here, an example of the calculation of the group weight data W in step S7 will be described.
The group weight data W (indicated by W in the formula) can be obtained by, for example, the following formula. w (x) = N × Y (n) Here, w indicates the code weight of each ordered product code 2, and x indicates the number of products classified into the same combination group 31. N indicates the number of orders 30 for each product code 2.
Y (n) indicates code weight data 27 for each product code 2.

Next, the weight obtained for each product code 2 by the formula is added for each same combination group 31,
The group weight data W is obtained. W = w (1) + w (2) + ... + w (x-1) + w (x) ...

Incidentally, in step S3, step S2
If it is determined that the combination data 25 acquired in step 3 is “0” (Y in S3), any of the same combination groups 31
(S8), and the combination data 25
Is “0”, regardless of the presence or absence of another product code 2
The group weight data W is calculated for each single product code 2 by the formula (S9). Here, in step S9, a function as a weight acquiring unit is executed. W = Y (n) ... '

In step S7 or step S9,
When the group weight data W is calculated by the formula, the formula, or the formula, the dish size data 28 corresponding to the calculated group weight data W is acquired with reference to the dish size table 19 (S10). Here, step S10
, A function as a dish size information selecting means is executed.

In the present embodiment, when the group weight data W is calculated in step S9, step S1
Although the corresponding plate size data 28 is acquired by referring to the plate size table 19 at 0, the present invention is not limited to this, and the product code 2 whose combination data 25 is “0” is obtained.
As for, the dish size data 28 may be directly obtained without calculating the group weight data W.

In the processing from step S2 to step S10, all the product codes 2 received in step S11 are received.
It repeats (N of S11) until it is determined that has been completed (Y of S11).

If it is determined in step S11 that the processing has been completed for all the received product codes 2 (Y in S11), the print data 35 (see FIG. (See S)
12).

Then, the print data 35 created in step S12 is output to a specific kitchen printer 6 (S13). Here, steps S2 to S13
, A function as print data output means is executed.

In step S13, the station 8
Each print data 35 output from the
8, the target kitchen printer 6 can be specified by the address data 38.

The kitchen printer 6 receives the print data 35 output from the station 8 by the receiving unit. Based on the print data 35, as shown in FIG. 8, a slip 42 on which order data is printed by being divided into the same combination groups 31 is output.

FIG. 8 is a front view showing the slip 42 output from the kitchen printer 6. By generating the print data 35 for each of the same combination groups 31 based on the received product code 2, the slip 42 is output for each of the same combination groups 31 as shown in FIG. Each of the output slips 42 has a slip No. No. 40 and table No. Since 41 is attached, a slip 42 can be attached to each dish when a plurality of types of dishes are served on the same dish. Thereby, even when a dish on which a plurality of types of dishes are arranged moves in the kitchen, it is possible to easily grasp the dining table for which the order has been received and the contents of the dishes to be arranged on a single dish.

Here, referring to the product data table 18, based on the combination data 25 corresponding to the product code 2 received from the outside, the same combination group is assigned to each product code 2 associated with the same combination data 25. By outputting the print data 35 created by grouping as 31 to the kitchen printer 6, for example, the same combination data 25 is set for each classification unit in which the same dish or similar dishes are grouped together. Thus, when dishes on the order data received at the same table are served on the same plate, it is possible to easily determine the dishes to be served on the same plate. As a result, it is possible to improve the work efficiency at the time of serving dishes on the store side, and it is possible to shorten the time until the serving is completed because only one serving is required. Further, for the customers, it is possible to improve services such as reducing the serving space and shortening the time until all dishes are prepared.

Further, by dividing the print data 35 for each same combination group 31 and outputting the divided data, it is possible for the cook to more easily determine the dishes to be served on the same plate.

Further, by referring to the plate size table 19 and outputting the print data 35 in which the plate size data 28 corresponding to the group weight data W acquired for each same combination group 31 is output, for example, the contents of the dish and the order By associating the group weight data W corresponding to the number and the like with the dish size data 28, when serving dishes on the order data received at the same dining table on the same dish, it is possible to determine the size of the dish on which the dishes are served. It can be facilitated. Thus, even when a large number of the same dishes or similar dishes are ordered, the dishes can be appropriately placed on a plate of an appropriate size.

In addition, by outputting print data in which the dish type information corresponding to the combination data 25 acquired with reference to the product data table 18 is combined for each same combination group, the dish type data 26 is output for each combination data 25. Is set, when dishes on the order data received at the same dining table are served on the same dish, it is possible to easily determine the type of dish on which the dishes are served. Thus, for example, even in a case where a dish to be served is determined for each dish and operated, the work efficiency at the time of serving the dish can be improved without requiring the experience and thinking of the cook.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the criterion for specifying the dish size is not the group weight data W but the total number of orders for each same combination group. Note that the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a file structure of a product data table according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The product data 51 in the product data table 50 includes, for each product code 2, a dish name 22, a unit price 23, an output destination printer data 24, a combination data 25, and a dish type data 2
6 are associated with each other.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a plate size table. The plate size data 52 is stored in the plate size table 52.
8 is stored in association with the group order number C as weight data, which is the total number of orders calculated for each single identical combination group 31.

Although not particularly shown, in the present embodiment, a group order number count area for counting the group order number C for each same combination group is secured as various memory areas for data processing.

Next, the processing executed by the CPU 14 based on the control program stored in the ROM 16 will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a print data combination process among the processes executed by the CPU 14 based on the control program stored in the ROM 16. In print data combination processing, step T
The processing from Step 1 to Step T6 corresponds to Step S1 in FIG.
The same processing as the processing from step S6 to step S6 is executed.

In step T5 or T6, when the product codes 2 are classified into a single identical combination group 31, each time the product codes 2 are classified into a single identical combination group 31, the corresponding group order number count area Increment the count value. At this time, if one order for a certain menu is received, the count value of the corresponding group order count area is incremented by “1”, and if two orders for the same menu are received, the corresponding group order is received. The count value of the number count area is incremented by "2". In the present embodiment, when classifying the product code 2, the group order number C is also counted. Here, in step T7, a function as a weight acquiring unit is executed.

In step S7, when the group order number C is acquired according to the order number, the dish size data 28 corresponding to the acquired group order number C is acquired with reference to the dish size table 52 (T8). Here, in step T8, a function as a dish size information selecting means is executed.

Incidentally, in step T3, step T2
If it is determined that the combination data 25 acquired in step (3) is “0” (Y in T3), regardless of the presence or absence of another product code 2 whose combination data 25 is “0”, any of the same combination groups 31 (T9).

For the product code 2 for which the combination data 25 is "0", the group order number C is set to "1" without counting the group order number C, and the dish size table 52 is referred to. The dish size data 28 is directly obtained (T8).

Thereafter, steps T10 to S12
Up to this point, the same processing as in steps S11 to S13 of FIG. 7 is executed.

In the present embodiment, since it is not necessary to set unique data such as the code weight data 27 for each product code 2, in actual operation, for example, a clerk or the like individually stores the code weight data 27 individually. The operation can be facilitated without the need for setting. Further, since there is no need to calculate the group weight data W, it is possible to improve the processing speed.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, in the order data management apparatus according to the second aspect, the dish size information corresponding to the weight data of the entire single same combination group is referred to by referring to the weight table. By outputting the print data given to each of the same combination groups, for example, by associating weight data corresponding to the contents of the dish and the number of orders with the dish size information, the order data received at the same dining table When serving dishes for the same dish, the determination of the size of the dish on which the dishes are served can be facilitated. Thus, even when a large number of the same dishes or similar dishes are ordered, the dishes can be appropriately placed on a plate of an appropriate size.

According to the invention described in claim 4, according to claim 1,
In the order data management device described in 2 or 3, the plate type information obtained by referring to the plate type table is output as print data assigned to each of the same combination groups, so that the plate type information is output for each combination information. By setting, when dishes on the order data received at the same dining table are served on the same dish, it is possible to easily determine the type of dish on which the dishes are served. Thus, for example, even in a case where a dish to be served is determined for each dish and operated, the work efficiency at the time of serving the dish can be improved without requiring the experience and thinking of the cook.
