For example, when the user sets the upper limit amount to “7500 yen” in the upper limit setting unit 207 and no product is ordered, and the product “chilled sake” shown in FIG. 18 is selected from the menu, The price is not stored in the price column F2 of the slip information 208a, and the price of the selected product “cold liquor” is specified as “500 yen”. Even if the purchase is made, it is determined that the accumulated amount is equal to or less than the upper limit amount. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19, when the user has already ordered three glasses of the product “draft beer”, five “cold beef”, and one “sashimi platter”, and the result is registered in the slip information 208a. If the product “cold liquor” is selected from the menu, the order control unit 202 sets the prices “350 yen”, “180 yen”, and “900” stored in the price column F2 of the slip information 208a. The number is multiplied by the numbers “3”, “5”, and “1” stored in the number field F3, and these are multiplied. Further, the price “500 yen” of the product “cold liquor” is added to the multiplication result. Since the accumulated amount is "7550 yen" exceeding the upper limit amount of "7500 yen", when the product "cold liquor" is ordered, it is determined that the accumulated amount exceeds the upper limit amount.
[0146]
Then, when determining that the accumulated amount exceeds the upper limit, the order control unit 202 causes the display unit 203 to display the excess amount. For example, in the above example, the order control unit 202 causes the display unit 203 to display “50 yen” as the excess amount.
