Next, the operation will be described.
First, the overall flow of processing executed in the OES 1 will be described.
FIG. 11 is a ladder chart showing processing of OES1 when an order is received from a customer on the floor. In the example shown in FIG. 11, an order is received from the mobile terminal 10 operated on the floor (referred to as the mobile terminal 10 (floor)), and the mobile terminal 10 (mobile) operated in the kitchen via the server terminal 100. The order is transmitted to the terminal 10 (kitchen). The processing of each terminal is executed by the CPU 11 of the mobile terminal 10 or the CPU of the server terminal 100.

  First, as shown in FIG. 11, when an order for a product is requested by a customer on the floor and a predetermined input operation is performed with a touch panel 14 from a menu screen (not shown) displayed on the display unit 13, the portable terminal 10 ( The floor) transmits a data call instruction for the order management file F2 stored in the server terminal 100 (step ST1). When receiving the data call instruction from the mobile terminal 10, the server terminal 100 reads the order management file F2 from the memory, and transmits the read data to the mobile terminal 10 (floor) (step ST2). In step ST2, if there is no data designated in the data call instruction, this data is stored in the memory of the server terminal 100 as a new table order.

  The portable terminal 10 (floor) stores and updates the order management file F2 transmitted in step ST2 (step ST3). Next, the portable terminal 10 (floor) transmits the confirmation of order input and the contents of the order to the server terminal 100 via the communication unit 16 by an operation from the touch panel 14 (step ST4).

  The server terminal 100 updates the order management file F2 stored in the memory of the server terminal 100 based on the received order contents (step ST5). The server terminal 100 identifies the mobile terminal 10 (kitchen) to which data should be transmitted based on the product included in the order and the mobile terminal cooking output setting of the product file F1, and the information on the ordered product is stored in the mobile terminal. It transmits with respect to the terminal 10 (kitchen) (step ST6).

  When the input from the touch panel 14 has not been performed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), the portable terminal 10 (kitchen) stores the cooking product management file F16 based on the order received from the server terminal 100. Update (step ST7). Next, the mobile terminal 10 (kitchen) receives the order information transmitted from the server terminal 100 to the mobile terminal 10 (kitchen) based on the destination information of the product file F1 (step ST8).

  FIG. 12 is a ladder chart showing processing of OES1 when a request for accounting processing is received from a customer on the floor.

  First, as illustrated in FIG. 12, when an instruction for accounting processing is input by a predetermined operation from the touch panel 14, the mobile terminal 10 (floor) displays a message to the effect that the accounting processing is executed to the server terminal 100. Transmit (step ST11). When receiving the transaction processing message from the mobile terminal 10 (floor), the server terminal 100 updates the message information management file F33 (step ST12).

  Next, the server terminal 100 determines an accountant based on the person-in-charge information file F4, and transmits an account process message to the operating mobile terminal 10 (step ST13). Of the mobile terminals 10 in the floor and kitchen, any of the mobile terminals 10 that have received this message performs accounting processing (step ST14). Specifically, the accounting process is executed by performing a predetermined operation from the touch panel 14 or the like on the portable terminal 10 (floor) or the portable terminal 10 (kitchen) operated by the accountant determined in step ST13. The In the above example, both portable terminal 10 (floor) and portable terminal 10 (kitchen) are listed as portable terminals 10 capable of accounting processing. However, in step ST14, a predetermined portable terminal 10 is used. It is only necessary that the accounting process is executed, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in a store operating OES1, only the person in charge who uses the floor function among the persons in charge of accounting may be allowed to perform the accounting process. In this case, in step ST14, the accounting process may be executed only on the mobile terminal 10 (floor) used by the accounting staff using the floor function.

  FIG. 13 is a ladder chart showing message transmission / reception processing between the mobile terminals 10 of the OES 1.

  First, as shown in FIG. 13, the portable terminal 10 (kitchen) changes the data of the cooking product management file F16 based on the input from the touch panel 14 (step ST21). Next, when the operation input from the touch panel 14 is not performed for a predetermined time, the portable terminal 10 (kitchen) transmits the cooked product management file F16 stored in the storage unit 12 to the server terminal 100 (step) ST22).

  The server terminal 100 updates the order management file F2 based on the information of the cooked product management file F16 received from the mobile terminal 10 (kitchen) (step ST23). Specifically, processing such as deleting an order that has been cooked in the cooked product management file F16 is performed. The portable terminal 10 (kitchen) stores the message input from the touch panel 14 in the message information management files F31 to F33, and transmits this message to the server terminal 100 (step ST24).

  The server terminal 100 updates the message information management file F31 or F32 based on the received message (step ST25). Next, the server terminal 100 transmits a message to the portable terminal 10 that is the transmission destination of the message (step ST26). The destination mobile terminal 10 updates the message information management file F131 or F132 based on the received message (step ST27). This mobile terminal 10 creates a record of a new message information management file F131 or F132 and transmits it to the server terminal 100 (step ST28). In the present embodiment, the message can be received from the server terminal 100 also in the mobile terminal 10 other than the mobile terminal 10 that transmitted the message. For example, as in the example described above, when a message is transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 (kitchen), the mobile terminal 10 (floor) designated as the transmission destination in this message can receive the message from the server.
