Description

  The present invention relates to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus suitable for use in restaurants and a computer program used therefor.

  Some merchandise sales data processing devices suitable for use in restaurants allow for a split-off process. In such a merchandise sales data processing apparatus, for example, assuming that Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C are guided to a certain table, and three persons, Mr. A, Mr. B and Mr. C, each pay an account, The total amount of menu items eaten at the table is divided by one third, and individual payments for each of A, B and C can be made. Such a merchandise sales data processing apparatus is described in Patent Document 1, for example.

JP 09-330480 A

  When paying on a split basis, fractional amounts may arise. For example, if the total amount of a certain table is 10,000 yen, if you try to make a split payment with three people, one person will generate 3,333 yen per person as a fractional amount. In addition, there is a model that can set a fraction depending on the model. For example, if the fractional amount is set in units of 10 yen, 3 people per person pays 10,000 yen by paying off the payment amount by 3 people. , 330 yen, 10 yen is generated as a fractional amount.

  In such a case, the conventional operation is either to pay the fractional amount on the store side or to have the customer pay. However, when the customer pays the fractional amount, the burden on the fractional amount arises for one payer, for example, the payer who settles last. For this reason, the amount of payment between each payer does not correspond, and it makes a customer distrust.

  On the other hand, when the store side bears the fractional amount, there is a difference between the transaction information recorded and managed for each transaction and the actual deposit amount due to the accounting process. For this reason, it is necessary to manage the fractional amount, which causes an excessive burden on the operator, and if a management error occurs, it is necessary to investigate the cause, which causes a further increase in the burden on the store side. End up.

  An object of the present invention is to eliminate the customer's mistrust that is likely to occur with the split-off process.

  The present invention further defines a computer program that is installed in the computer of the merchandise sales data processing apparatus and causes the computer to execute the various processes.

  According to the present invention, during the discount payment process, the payment details for the discount payment amount and the payment amount for the fractional amount are clearly displayed on the customer display. It is possible to inform the customer that the amount of money and the amount of payment to bear the fractional amount are different, thereby eliminating the mistrust of the customer that is likely to occur due to the split account process.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This embodiment is an application example to a POS terminal as a merchandise sales data processing device that constitutes a part of an order entry system used in restaurants.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a system configuration example of an order entry system 1. The order entry system 1 is used in a store equipped with a hall 11, a kitchen 21, and a checkout counter 31.

  In the hall 11, an order station 12, a customer check printer 13, and a wireless communication unit 14 are installed. These devices are communicatively connected to each other via a network 15 which is a local network of a store where the order entry system 1 is installed. In the hall 11, a plurality of handy terminals 16 are used. The handy terminal 16 has a display 17 and an input key 18, receives an order for a menu item from a customer by an input using the input key 18, and wirelessly transmits the received order as order data. The order data includes, as an example, data on the number of people input by the input key 18. Such order data is data in a message format created in the handy terminal 16 so as to include individual menu items and the number of people input by the input key 18. The wireless communication unit 14 performs wireless communication with the handy terminal 16, for example, receives order data wirelessly transmitted from the handy terminal 16, and transmits the order data to the order station 12 via the network 15.

  The order station 12 typically has three roles. When order data wirelessly transmitted from the handy terminal 16 is received, the role is to return the received order data to the handy terminal 16. The other is to store and save order data wirelessly transmitted from the handy terminal 16, create a transmission message for print output from the order data, and is installed in the customer check printer 13 and the kitchen 21 via the network 15. It is a role of transmission output to the kitchen printer 22 described later. Another one stores and saves order data wirelessly transmitted from the handy terminal 16, creates a transmission message for accounting from the order data, and is installed in the checkout counter 31 via the network 15. It is a role of transmitting and outputting to the POS terminal 101 described later.

  The customer check printer 13 receives a transmission message from the order station 12 via the network 15 and prints and issues a slip having contents corresponding to the transmission message. Such a customer check printer 13 is structurally the same as the kitchen printer 22.

  The wireless communication unit 14 is installed in various places in the store and manages communication with the handy terminal 16.

  The kitchen 21 is provided with two kitchen printers 22 as an example. One kitchen printer 22 is installed in a kitchen, for example, and the other kitchen printer 22 is installed in a drink counter, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a POS terminal 101 is installed in the checkout counter 31. The POS terminal 101 receives a transmission message for accounting based on the order data transmitted and output by the order station 12 via the network 15. The transmission message in this case includes the ordered menu code, its unit price, the number of orders for each menu code, and further includes the number of people. Accordingly, the POS terminal 101 calculates a total sales amount including a service charge, a table charge, a consumption tax, etc. based on the received transmission message, a settlement process for the total sales amount, and a transaction for each transaction. And accounting processing including information record management processing.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the POS terminal 101. The POS terminal 101 is placed on the drawer 102 and can control the opening operation of the drawer 103 of the drawer 102. A keyboard 104 and an operator display 105 are arranged on the right side of the upper surface of the POS terminal 101, and a receipt printer 106 is arranged on the left side of the upper surface. A customer display 107 is erected at the rear of the top surface of the POS terminal 101. In FIG. 1, a groove provided in the vicinity of the right side surface of the POS terminal 101 is a card reading groove 109 for scanning a card in order to read card information by the card reader / writer 108 (see FIG. 4). . Input of various types of information at the POS terminal 101 is possible using a keyboard 104 that functions as an input device.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view illustrating the keyboard 104 of the POS terminal 101. The keyboard 104 includes numeric keys 104a, a PLU key 104b, a department key 104c, a table number key 104d, a deposit / cash key 104e, and the like as basic keys. The keyboard 104 includes various other keys. As an example, the keyboard 104 includes a detail split key 104f, a simple split key 104g, a number key 104h of 1-4.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the POS terminal 101. The POS terminal 101 includes a CPU 201 that executes various arithmetic processes and controls each unit. The CPU 201 is connected via a bus line 205 to a ROM 202 that stores fixed data in a fixed manner, a RAM 203 that stores variable data in a rewritable manner and is used as a work area, and an HDD 204. The HDD 204 has various computer programs installed. All of these computer programs are copied to the RAM 203 when the POS terminal 101 is activated. The CPU 201 executes processing according to the computer program copied to the RAM 203.

  The drawer 102, the keyboard 104, the operator display 105, the receipt printer 106, the customer display 107, and the card reader / writer 108 are all connected via various input / output circuits (all not shown) and the bus line 205. Are connected to the CPU 201 and controlled by the CPU 201.

  The POS terminal 101 includes a communication interface 206 for connecting to the network 15, and this communication interface 206 is also connected to the CPU 201 via the bus line 205. Various computer programs installed in the HDD 204 are downloaded from a higher-level machine via the communication interface 206 as an example.

  As described above, the POS terminal 101 calculates the total sales amount including the service charge, the table charge, the consumption tax, etc. based on the transmission message received from the order station 12 via the network 15, and the sales An accounting process including a settlement process for the total amount and a record management process for transaction information for each transaction is executed. In such an accounting process, a split account process is also possible. In other words, a computer program that is installed in the HDD 204 and copied in whole or in part to the RAM 203 when the POS terminal 101 is activated causes the CPU 201 to execute splitting processing. As the split account process, the POS terminal 101 can perform both the detail split account process and the simple split account process.

  “Detailed account processing” means, for example, that in one transaction, Mr. A pays an account for one menu item, Mr. B pays an account for another menu item, and Mr. C for another menu item. This is a process that supports the split method of paying the account. For example, when executing the “detailed account processing”, the menu item to be paid by the account by using the PLU key 104b, the department key 104c, and the numeric key 104a, for example, by pressing the detail account key 104f in the keyboard 104 for each customer. Is specified.

  On the other hand, the “simple split account process” is a process that supports a split account method in which, for example, when Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C pay their accounts, the amount is simply divided by one third. . When executing the “simple splitting process”, as an example, it is only necessary to press the simple splitting key 104g in the keyboard 104. The number of people is known to the POS terminal 101 that has received such a transmission message because the transmission message for accounting based on the order data generated by the order station 12 includes data on the number of people. Therefore, in the POS terminal 101, when the simple percent account key 104g is pressed, the simple percent account process can be executed by dividing the calculated total sales by the known number of people.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a display on a setting screen for setting by the fraction bearer. The description of the simple splitting process described above will be further continued. The CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 can freely change various settings. As one of such changeable settings, the POS terminal 101 declares the execution of the split account process when the simple split key 104g is pressed, and the first split account process is the type of the simple split process executed according to this declaration. Or the second split-off process can be set alternatively. The difference between the first and second split payment processes is that, in general, whether the fractional amount that may be generated by the simple split payment process is paid on the store side or on the customer side. .

  The first discount account process is a process in the case where the customer pays the fractional amount. The first split payment process is the first process for calculating the total amount of sales calculated by dividing the total number of sales accounts divided by the number of input split accounts and the fractional amount, and paying the fractional amount based on the calculated split amount A second process for executing a settlement process for the number of percent accounts required of the person on the customer display 107, and a split payment statement that clearly indicates the payment amount only for the discount amount and the payment amount that bears the fractional amount is displayed on the customer display 107. The process is executed.

  The second split-off process is a process when the store side bears the fractional amount. The second split payment process consists of a first process for calculating the total amount of sales calculated by dividing the total amount of sales by the number of split accounts and the fractional amount, and a settlement process for the number of split accounts based on the calculated split payment amount. A second process to be executed and a third process to execute the record management process for the calculated fractional amount are executed.

  The CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 displays a setting screen as shown in FIG. 5 on the operator display 105 when execution of the setting operation of the fraction bearer is designated. In view of this, it is possible to select and set alternatively between the first split payment process and the second split payment process from this setting screen. In other words, when setting the first discount account processing in which the customer pays the fractional amount, the customer burden check box 301 is checked by operating the keyboard 104. In this case, in this embodiment, two types of accounting sequences are prepared, the first and last, and the accounting sequence can also be set by checking the check box. The accounting order here determines the designated payer in the second process executed in the first discount account process. That is, it is a setting whether the customer who performs the settlement process first is the designated payer or the customer who performs the settlement process is the designated payer. On the other hand, in the case of setting the second split account processing in which the fractional amount is borne on the store side, the store burden check box 301 is checked by operating the keyboard 104. To check any of the check boxes 301, as an example, a number corresponding to each check box 301 is displayed on the operator display 105, and the corresponding number is displayed as a number key. This is done by inputting by 104a. The selection between the first split payment process and the second split payment process specified in this way is confirmed, for example, by pressing the deposit / cash total key 104e, whereby the type of the simple split payment process is set in the POS terminal 101.

  6A is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the setting of the fraction bearer and the processing program when the customer is set as the fraction bearer, and FIG. 6B is the case where the store is set as the fraction bearer. FIG. The CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 is a processing program for simple split account processing among the computer programs that are installed in the HDD 204 and all or part of the computer program is copied to the RAM 203 when the POS terminal 101 is started up when simple split split processing is declared. The simple split payment process is executed according to the above. In this case, with regard to the handling of the fractional amount, when the first discount account processing is selected and set, the customer burden module 311 is incorporated in the processing program for the simple discount account processing (FIG. 6A), and the second When the split payment process is selected and set, the store burden module 312 is incorporated into the processing program for the simple split payment process (FIG. 6B). Therefore, when the customer burden module 311 is incorporated in the processing program for the simple percent account processing, the CPU 201 executes the first percent account processing described above, and stores the store burden module 312 in the processing program for the simple percent account processing. Is incorporated, the above-mentioned second split processing is executed.

  7A is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of an item configuration of the management file 321 when the customer is set as a fraction bearer, and FIG. 7B is the item configuration of the management file 321 when the store is set as a fraction bearer. . As described above, the POS terminal 101 executes transaction information record management processing for each transaction as accounting processing. As an example, the record management process of transaction information is performed by a memory process of recording necessary information in the management file 321 shown in FIG. Such a management file 321 is incorporated in a computer program for accounting processing installed by the POS terminal 101 and is normally stored in the HDD 204. When the POS terminal 101 is activated, all or part of the management file 321 is copied to the RAM 203, and additional information to the management file 321 is stored in the HDD 204 at a predetermined timing.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the management file 321 has a data structure that can manage various information such as a table number, total sales amount, and consumption tax for each transaction number. When the customer is set as the fraction bearer, that is, when the customer burden module 311 is incorporated in the processing program for the simple account processing, the management file 321 shown in FIG. 7A is used.

  On the other hand, when the store is set as a fraction bearer, that is, when the store burden module 312 is incorporated in the processing program for the simple split account process, the management file shown in FIG. 321 is used. As is clear from FIG. 7, the management file 321 when the store is set as a fraction bearer has the fraction burden amount as a management item. The reason for managing the fraction burden amount as a management item when the store is set as a fraction bearer is to reduce the management burden on the store side associated with the split account process. That is, when the store side bears the fractional amount, there is a difference between the transaction information recorded and managed for each transaction and the actual deposit amount due to the accounting process. For this reason, it is necessary to manage the fractional amount, which causes an excessive burden on the operator, and if a management error occurs, it is necessary to investigate the cause, which causes a further increase in the burden on the store side. End up. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the management file 321 when the store is set as a fraction bearer is provided with the fraction burden amount as a management item so as to reduce the management burden on the store side due to the split processing.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the simple splitting process. The process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8 is executed when the simple split key 104g in the keyboard 104 is pressed. That is, when the simple split key 104g is pressed, a means (function) for declaring the execution of the split process is executed.

  As described above, since the transmission message for accounting based on the order data generated by the order station 12 includes data on the number of people, the number of people for the POS terminal 101 receiving such a transmission message. Is known information. Therefore, when the simple discount account key 104g is pressed and execution of the discount account process is declared, the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 calculates the discount amount per person by dividing the calculated total sales by the known number of people ( Next, the fractional amount process is executed to obtain the fractional amount generated by the calculation process of the discounted amount (step S102). Here, the first process common to the first split payment process and the second split payment process is executed.

  Here, regarding the fractional amount calculated as the first process in step S102, the number of digits may be freely set. As a result, when the number of digits of the fractional amount is set to 1 digit, the fractional amount is calculated in units of 1 yen, and when the number of digits of the fractional amount is set to 10 digits, the fractional amount is calculated in units of 10 yen. Will be calculated. For example, it is assumed that the total sales amount is 3,100 yen and this is divided by three people. In such a case, if the number of digits of the fractional amount is set to one digit, the amount of payment per person is ¥ 1,033, resulting in a fractional amount of ¥ 1. On the other hand, if the number of digits of the fractional amount is set to 10 digits, the payment amount per person is 1,030 yen, and a fractional amount of 10 yen is generated. In the following description, it is assumed that the number of digits of the fractional amount is set to 1.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a transaction screen 331 displayed on the customer display 107. On the accounting screen 331, the details of the menu item eaten by the customer under accounting are displayed in the transaction details area 332, and the settlement items such as the total sales amount are displayed in the settlement area 333. Such an accounting screen 331 is common even when the first split account process is executed and when the second split account process is executed.

  Following the fractional amount processing in step S102, the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 generates a payout amount display dialog 334 and displays it in a pop-up (step S103). At this time, the CPU 201 executes different processes for the first split process and the second split process. In the following, in addition to FIGS. 1 to 9, the first splitting process will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 11, and the second splitting process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the first splitting process will be described.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a burden amount display dialog 334 is displayed in a pop-up display on the customer display 107 when the customer is set as a fraction bearer. In this dialog 334, the total amount, the number of people, and the per capita amount per person are displayed, and further, a per account payment statement 335 that clearly shows the amount payable by the designated payer who should bear the fractional amount as the manager-like boss is displayed. ing. When generating the discount payment details 335, the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 displays the payment amount calculated in the first process as the payment amount per person, and adds the fractional amount to the payment amount calculated in the first process. The amount is displayed as the amount paid by the manager who is the designated payer. Here, the total sales amount of the transaction is 3,100 yen, and the case where this is divided by three people is illustrated. Therefore, the amount paid per person is 1,033 yen, resulting in a fractional amount of 1 yen. The sum of the amount paid per person plus the fractional amount is ¥ 1,034, which is the amount paid by the manager who is the designated payer. Here, a third process is executed to display on the customer display 107 the discount payment details 335 that clearly indicate the payment amount only for the discount amount and the payment amount that bears the fractional amount.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. Subsequent to the display process of the dialog 334 in step S103, the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 performs a second process of executing a settlement process for the perceived number of persons who asks the designated payer to pay the fractional amount based on the calculated perceived amount. Execute. That is, the POS terminal 101 employs a method in which, as a settlement method for the simple discount account processing, a deposit / cash key 104e is pressed after inputting the deposit amount by the numeric key 104a one by one. This example is a settlement method using cash, but in the case of credits, coupons, gift certificates, and the like, settlement by a similar method is possible. Here, such an operation is called an accounting operation.

  After the display processing of the dialog 334 in step S103, if the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 determines that an accounting operation has been performed (Y in step S104), the change amount calculation processing is executed (step S105). Then, the dialog 334 pop-up displayed on the customer display 107 in step S103 is deleted, and the accounting screen 331 for each person is displayed on the customer display 107 (step S106), and the drawer 102 is opened. (Step S107). Such a process is continued until the CPU 201 determines the end of the final customer settlement process (step S108).

  FIG. 11 shows an example of an accounting screen 331 displayed on the customer display 107 when the customer is set as a fraction bearer. FIG. 11A shows an accounting for the first payer who is the designated payer. An example of the screen 331, (b) is a schematic diagram showing an example of another payment screen 331 for payers. The example shown in FIG. 11 is an example in which the first customer is set as a designated payer who bears a fractional amount. Therefore, as apparent from referring to the display of the settlement area 333 on the accounting screen 331, the amount charged to the first customer set as the designated payer is 1,034 yen (FIG. 11 (a)), other The amount billed to the customer is 1033 yen (FIG. 11B). Here, a third process is executed to display on the customer display 107 the discount payment details 335 that clearly indicate the payment amount only for the discount amount and the payment amount that bears the fractional amount.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. When the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 determines the end of the final customer settlement process (Y in step S108), the CPU 201 drives and controls the receipt printer 106 to print and issue a receipt (step S109). Then, as a transaction management record management process for each transaction, a memory process of recording necessary information in the management file 321 shown in FIG. 7 is executed (step S110), and the process ends.

  As described above, in the first discount account process, the third process of displaying the discount payment details 335 on the customer display 107 that clearly shows the payment amount only for the discount amount and the payment amount that bears the fractional amount is executed. To do. As a result, when the customer pays the fractional amount, a single payer is burdened with the fractional amount, and the amount of payment between the payers does not match, making the customer distrust. On the other hand, by executing the third process, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of such a situation, and it is possible to eliminate the customer's mistrust that is likely to occur due to the split-off process.

  Next, the second splitting process will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a payout amount display dialog 334 is popped up on the display of the customer display 107 when the store is set as a fraction bearer. The dialog 334 displays a discount payment detail 335 that clearly indicates the total amount, the number of people, the per capita discount amount, and the fractional amount. When generating the discount payment details 335, the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 displays the discount amount calculated in the first process as the payment amount per person, and displays the discount amount calculated in the first process as the remainder. Here, the total sales amount of the transaction is 3,100 yen, and the case where this is divided by three people is illustrated. Therefore, the amount paid per person is 1,033 yen, resulting in a fractional amount of 1 yen. The fractional amount of 1 yen is displayed as the remainder.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. Subsequent to the display process of the dialog 334 in step S103, the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 executes a second process for executing a settlement process for the number of discount accounts based on the calculated discount amount. That is, the POS terminal 101 employs a method in which, as a settlement method for the simple discount account processing, a deposit / cash key 104e is pressed after inputting the deposit amount by the numeric key 104a one by one. This example is a settlement method using cash, but in the case of credits, coupons, gift certificates, and the like, settlement by a similar method is possible. Here, such an operation is called an accounting operation.

  After the display processing of the dialog 334 in step S103, if the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 determines that an accounting operation has been performed (Y in step S104), the change amount calculation processing is executed (step S105). Then, the dialog 334 pop-up displayed on the customer display 107 in step S103 is deleted, and the accounting screen 331 for each person is displayed on the customer display 107 (step S106), and the drawer 102 is opened. (Step S107). Such a process is continued until the CPU 201 determines the end of the final customer settlement process (step S108).

  When the CPU 201 of the POS terminal 101 determines the end of the final customer settlement process (Y in step S108), the CPU 201 drives and controls the receipt printer 106 to print and issue a receipt (step S109). Then, as a transaction management record management process for each transaction, a memory process of recording necessary information in the management file 321 shown in FIG. 7 is executed (step S110), and the process ends.

  Here, in the second circumcision process, as described above, the management file 321 shown in FIG. 7B is used. For this reason, the fractional amount calculated in step S102 is recorded and managed in the management file 321 as a fraction burden amount. Here, a third process for executing the record management process for the calculated fractional amount is executed. As a result, the management burden on the store side associated with the split-off process is reduced. That is, when the store side bears the fractional amount, there is a difference between the transaction information recorded and managed for each transaction and the actual deposit amount due to the accounting process.
