In some cases, the store server 2 also serves as a POS terminal, and at that time, store information is transmitted in a timely manner in synchronization with the sale timing.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the structure of the cooking information DB 13. The dish information DB 13 includes information for each dish (hereinafter referred to as dish information). The food information has a food name and a food ID which is identification information of the food. In addition, the cooking information includes the name of a food item (which is referred to as a food item name) that is the ingredient of the dish, a food item ID that is identification information of the food item, and a multiplying factor of the usage amount of the food item per person ( (Hereinafter, referred to as the number of uses), the food component information for each food item that is the ingredient of the dish.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of this embodiment.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing information displayed on the user terminal 3.

When the cooking material cost providing device 1 is accessed from the user terminal 3, the store information DB 12 and the cooking information DB
Data generated based on the information of 13 (hereinafter simply referred to as data) is returned (step S1). The data includes a plurality of sets of store names and store IDs and sets of dish names and dish IDs, and each dish name has a category name of a dish, such as "Japanese cuisine", "Western cuisine", "Chinese cuisine", and One of “others” (hereinafter referred to as a food classification name) is associated.

The user terminal 3 which has received the data response displays the information contained in the data and stores the information by the user's operation (step S3).

First, the user terminal 3 displays as shown in FIG. 5A based on the data. When the user operates, a plurality of store names included in the data are displayed, one of them is selected, and when the “GO” portion is clicked, the user terminal 3 displays the store ID corresponding to the store name. Remember. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the food classification name included in the data is displayed. By user operation,
When one of the food category names is clicked, FIG. 5 (c)
As shown in, the selected food category name is displayed, and by the user's operation, a list of candidates for the number of people who eat the food included in the data is displayed in a list, and when any one of them is selected, the user terminal 3 stores the number of people as information. Further, when the user operates to display a list of the food names associated with the selected food classification name and select one of them, the user terminal 3 causes the user terminal 3 to display the food ID corresponding to the food name in the data. Memorize

Then, the user terminal 3 reads out the store ID, the number of persons, and the dish ID stored so far, and notifies the cooking material cost providing device 1 (step S5). Hereinafter, these are simply referred to as a store ID, the number of people, and a dish ID.

When the cooking material cost providing device 1 receives these pieces of information, it performs calculation processing (step S7).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of calculation processing. First, the store information including the store ID is searched from the store information DB 12 and the store name of the store information is stored in the temporary storage area (step S101). Hereinafter, this information is simply referred to as store information. Next, cooking information D
The dish information including the dish ID is searched from B13, and the dish name of the dish information is stored in the temporary storage area (step S103). Hereinafter, this information is simply referred to as cooking information.

Next, one dish component information included in the dish information is selected (step S105. Then, the sales grocery information including the same food item ID as the dish component information is searched from the store information. (Step S107) Then, the material cost for the number of persons for the food item is calculated by multiplying the unit price of the sale food item information by the number of uses of the dish component information and the number of persons (Step S109).
Then, the combination of the food item name of the food component information and the material cost for the number of persons is stored in the temporary storage area (step S
111). Then, the process returns to step S105.

After this, steps S105-1 are performed.
The respective processings are performed on the cooked component information in which the processing of 11 is not performed.

When all the food component information included in the food information is processed, the material cost for each of the people stored so far is read out in the temporary storage area and summed up to calculate the number of people of the food. The material cost is calculated (step S113). Then, the store name, the food name, the food item name and the material cost corresponding to the number of each, and the material cost corresponding to the number of dishes are read out and stored in the temporary storage area. Data (hereinafter, simply referred to as data) is generated (step S115), and the process ends.

Returning to FIG. 4, the description will be continued. The cooking material cost providing device 1 transmits the data to the user terminal 3 (step S9). Then, the user terminal 3 receives the data shown in FIG.
As shown in (d), the store name, the food name, each set of the food item name and the material cost for the number of people, and the material cost for the number of people of the food are displayed (step S11).

As described above, according to the cooking material cost providing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the identification information (food item ID) of each food item sold by the food product seller and the food item.
