(Operation of the embodiment)
Next, a payment amount dividing process when a single menu item is shared by a plurality of people, that is, a Shared settlement process, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of accounting processing in the accounting processing apparatus according to the present invention, and shows an example of accounting processing including payment amount split processing, that is, Shared settlement processing, when one menu item is shared by a plurality of people. Show.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, first, it is confirmed whether or not the menu items are to be split in the accounting process related to the payment amount of the group consisting of a plurality of people (step S1). When there is an instruction to perform payment processing by one person at a time without splitting, and there is an input to that effect from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13 (NO in step S1), The usual accounting process is performed as usual, the payment of the collected amount is received, and the operation of the “cash” key or the like of the input unit 12 is performed, so that the payment amount is stored in the drawer 15 and the printing unit 18 A process of printing a receipt and distributing it to the person who paid the amount is performed (step S10).

  On the other hand, when there is an instruction to perform split payment processing by a plurality of people and there is an input to that effect from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13 (YES in step S1), the total payment amount is determined by the number of people. It is confirmed whether or not the heads are divided equally (step S2). If there is an instruction to divide the head equally and there is an input to that effect from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13 (YES in step S2), the total amount per person divided by the number of people as before The existing parcel processing for calculating the average amount is performed, the payment of the par amount is sequentially received from each individual, and the “cash” key or the like of the input unit 12 is operated, so that the amount of payment is given to the drawer 15. A process of storing and printing the receipt by the printing unit 18 and distributing it to the person who paid the money is performed (step S11).

  On the other hand, if there is an instruction to perform individual settlement for each person without dividing the head evenly and there is an input to that effect from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13 (NO in step S2), In order to perform an individual settlement process that distributes the payment amount to each person according to the order menu item, the order menu item, each unit price, its quantity, and the subtotal amount for each order menu are displayed in a list on the display unit 17. .

  For the order menu displayed in a list, if there are multiple menu items that are the same as the individual menu items ordered by each person, the order menus are divided into one menu item so that each person can pay separately. Processing is performed, and the menu items, amount, and quantity of the display contents of the order menu displayed as a list on the display unit 17 are changed to a display divided into individual settlement units (step S3).

  Next, for only one single order menu item, it is checked whether or not to use the Shared Item function that divides the payment amount among a plurality of people, that is, the Shared settlement process (step S4). When there is an instruction not to perform the Shared settlement process, and there is an input to that effect from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13 (NO in Step S4), the process proceeds to Step S9 and the conventional individual settlement process is performed. Will do.

  On the other hand, if there is an instruction to perform the Shared payment adjustment process and there is an input to that effect from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13 (YES in step S4), the process proceeds to step S5 and subsequent steps. In order to enable an accounting process to divide the payment amount for a single order menu item of the quantity “1” into a plurality of people as in the case where one order menu item is shared by a plurality of people, the present invention The process proceeds to the execution of the Shared settlement process (Shared Item process).

  First, in step S5, when there is an instruction to specify a menu item for performing the Shared settlement process among the single order menu items, and an input to that effect is made from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13, A display to that effect is added to the corresponding order menu item among the order menu items displayed as a list in the section 17 (step S5). Thereafter, the Shared settlement processing function is read from the storage device 20 to the memory 19 and activated (step S6).

  Next, when there is an instruction to specify registration of the number of persons to be divided for the corresponding order menu item to which the Shared settlement processing function is applied, and when the input is made from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13, the corresponding menu is displayed. The menu is displayed in a list on the display unit 17 by dividing the item into the designated number of people and calculating a divided amount (Shared settlement amount) for equally distributing the amount of the menu item according to the number of people. The menu item, amount, and quantity of the display contents are changed to a display that is further divided into shared payment units that are evenly distributed corresponding to the number of people to be divided (step S8).

  When the order menu list is displayed that is divided into individual settlement units in step S3 and is further divided into shared settlement units in step S8, a single target for the Shared settlement process is displayed for the order menu list. The settlement process similar to the existing individual settlement process is performed including the Shared item obtained by dividing the menu item (step S9).

  That is, in the individual checkout process in step S9, each order menu item and its amount are displayed in a list, including the divided menu items obtained by dividing the Shared checkout items and the individual checkout items for each number of people, and a split account process is performed. Display columns for each target person. After that, for the order menu items displayed in a list, there are instructions for each menu item that each person individually shares, including the subdivided menu items for Shared settlement items and individual settlement items. When there is an input to that effect from the section 13, a process for transferring each order menu item to the corresponding target person column and a transfer process for distributing the payment amount to the corresponding target person column are performed.

  For all of the order menu items, when the process of moving the menu item to the target person column is completed and there is an input to that effect from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13, payment for each person in the target column An individual settlement process (a process including a Shared settlement process) in which the amount is summed up is executed, and payment of the individual settlement amount is sequentially received from an individual, and operations such as the “cash” key of the input unit 12 are performed. As a result, the payment amount is stored in the drawer 15, a receipt is printed by the printing unit 18, and distributed to the person who paid the amount.

  FIG. 3 is a screen diagram showing an example in which order contents ordered by a plurality of people constituting the group are displayed as sales processing data on the screen, and shows an example of screen display on the display unit 17 in step S3 of the flowchart of FIG. ing. FIG. 3A shows the contents of the initial sales process data before an instruction for the individual settlement process or the Shared settlement process is input from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13 when the individual settlement process or the Shared settlement process is required. FIG. 3B shows an initial sales screen 25 shown in FIG. 3B after an individual settlement process or a Shared settlement process is input from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13 when an individual settlement process or a Shared settlement process is required. The processing request sales screen 26 showing the contents of the individual settlement sales process data is shown.

  In the initial sales screen 25 in FIG. 3A and the processing request sales screen 26 in FIG. 3B, for example, “Transaction #” (transaction number) indicating a slip for each order menu item, and “ “PLU #” (Price List Up number), “Name (Item)” indicating the ordered menu item, “Unit Price” of each ordered menu item, “Quantity” ordered, and total price for each ordered menu item In this embodiment, the menu item for which there is an order for a plurality of quantities is identified as to whether or not it is a menu item subject to individual settlement processing. Individual settlement flags 25a, 26a for sharing, and Shared for identifying whether or not the menu item is a target of the Shared settlement process There are also settlement flags 25b and 26b, and shared unit prices 25c and 26c indicating unit prices when performing the Shared settlement process.

  Here, as shown in the processing request sales screen 26 in FIG. 3B, when an instruction for the individual settlement process or the Shared settlement process is input from the input unit 12 or the touch input unit 13, the individual settlement flag 26a or Shared Like the flag 26b, a flag for requesting the individual settlement process or the Shared settlement process is set, and the Item indicating the menu item designated as the target of the individual settlement process or the Shared settlement process is divided into a plurality of “Transactions”. “#” Is divided and displayed. FIG. 3B shows an example in which “◯” is displayed for the individual settlement flag 26a and “*” is displayed for the Shared settlement flag 26b.

  In FIG. 3B, among the items indicating the menu items, “Item 1” and “Item 3” are the targets of individual settlement processing divided into one, respectively, “Item 2”, “Item 3”. “Item 4” is shown as a target of the Shared settlement process divided into three. For the menu items “Item 2” and “Item 4” that are the targets of the Shared settlement process, an amount obtained by dividing each unit price by the number of people to be divided is displayed in the Sahred unit price 26c. Here, if a fractional part occurs when the unit price is divided by the number of people, as in “Item 4,” rounding is performed to round off the decimal part, and the total amount charged to the customer is The case where the unit price is not exceeded and handled as a burden on the store side is illustrated.

  FIG. 4 is a display screen diagram showing an example of an operator display screen when performing individual settlement including Shared settlement in the accounting processing apparatus according to the present invention. The screen in FIG. 4A is a display example of the menu item list displayed on the display unit 17 in step S5 of the flowchart in FIG. 2, and before executing the individual settlement process including the Shared settlement process for each person. The display example of the preparation screen 31 in the preparation stage is shown. 4B is a display example of the menu item list displayed on the display unit 17 in steps S8 and S9 in the flowchart of FIG. 2, and an individual settlement process including a Shared settlement process for each person.
