  As shown in the figure, first, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 transmits POS data for each menu in a predetermined period from the POS system 200 of a specific restaurant (a restaurant for which menu information on the site is updated). Is determined by the communication unit 19 (step 41).

  The POS data includes information such as the menu ID, the number of corresponding items, and the order time.

  If it is determined that the POS data has been received (Yes), the CPU 11 divides the POS data into each order time slot (step 42). The order time zones to be divided are, for example, two at 18 o'clock to 21 o'clock and 21 o'clock to 23 o'clock, but are not limited thereto.

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 extracts a predetermined number (e.g., three, five, ten, etc.) of menus having a high order of appearance for each of the classified order time zones (step 43).

  Then, the CPU 11 updates the menu information column of the target restaurant on the restaurant information provision site by the menu of the top of the number of items in each extracted time zone (step 44).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a web page including menu information provided by the restaurant information providing server 100.

  The web page shown in the figure is displayed as a result of the user of the user terminal 300 entering a search condition in the input box 51 and pressing the search button 52, for example, on the top page of the restaurant information provision site. By being selected from the information list, the restaurant information providing server 100 is transmitted to the user terminal 300 and displayed.

  As shown in the figure, the input box 51 and the search button 52 are always displayed, for example, at the top if the page is in a restaurant information providing site, and the user can always search for a restaurant.

  On the website of each restaurant, the name and area of the restaurant, the restaurant's introduction information (page top), and a page (menu publication page) on which menu information provided by the restaurant is posted, for example It is possible to display by 53.

  Then, on the menu publication page, a menu superior to the number of times out for each time slot divided by the restaurant information providing server 100 according to the method described above is displayed in the menu information display column 54 (54a, 54b) for each time slot Be done.

  The menu information displayed in each of the menu information display sections 54 is displayed each time the processing of the restaurant information providing server 100 shown in FIG. 4 (that is, each time POS data is received from the POS system 200 of each restaurant). Updated).

  In the figure, the menu information displayed in each menu information display column 54 is displayed in the ranking format according to the number of items displayed, but may not be displayed in the ranking format.

  Since it is assumed that the menu with user's demand is different between the relatively early hours and the relatively late hours in the business hours, the restaurant information providing server 100 displays different items depending on the time zones. By updating the menu information, the user's interest can be aroused in accordance with the different demand.

[Summary]
As described above, the restaurant information providing server 100 updates the menu information on the restaurant information providing site based on the sales for each menu in the restaurant to actually visit the menu information on the site. It can be dynamically changed to one reflecting the preference of the user, and the user's interest in the restaurant can be aroused.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiment, and can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

  In the above-mentioned embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 updates the menu information on the restaurant information providing site of the restaurant based on the POS data of each menu of one restaurant. However, the restaurant information provision server 100 may update menu information on the restaurant information provision site of another restaurant based on POS data for each menu of a certain restaurant.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of menu information updating processing by the restaurant information providing server 100 in this case. In the example of the figure, the restaurant for which the menu information is to be updated is the restaurant A, and the other restaurant that is the reference source of the update is the restaurant B.

  As shown in the figure, first, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 determines whether or not POS data for each menu in a predetermined period has been received by the communication unit 19 from the POS system 200A of a certain restaurant B. (Step 61).

  If it is determined that the POS data has been received (Yes), the CPU 11 divides the POS data into each order time slot (step 62). The order time zone to be classified is, for example, the same as that shown in FIG. 4 but is not limited thereto.

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 extracts a predetermined number of menus with the highest number of items out for each divided order time zone (step 63).

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 extracts the menu information of the restaurant A corresponding to the extracted number-of-outs menu for each time slot from the restaurant information database 31 (step 64).

  In this case, in the restaurant information database 31, the menu information of the restaurant B and the menu information of the restaurant A are stored in association with each other using, for example, the category of the menu, and the CPU 11 matches the categories. The corresponding menu may be determined in both restaurants.

  Then, the CPU 11 updates the menu information field of the restaurant A on the restaurant information provision site by the menu of the restaurant A corresponding to the extracted menu of the highest number of times of each restaurant during the extracted restaurant B (step 65) .

  Thereby, the information processing apparatus advertises, for example, a menu corresponding to a popular menu in the restaurant B having a larger total sales (margin of profit) than the restaurant A at the restaurant information provision site of the restaurant A. The user's interest in A can be aroused.

  Here, since the menu of the restaurant differs depending on the type of business and the genre of the provided food, the CPU 11 needs to select the restaurant B which is the source of the update when updating the menu information of the restaurant A . Therefore, the CPU 11 calculates the degree of similarity between the restaurant A and the other restaurant with reference to the information on the location, size, and food type of each restaurant included in the restaurant information database 31 described above, Another restaurant having a degree of similarity may be selected as the restaurant B. Specifically, the CPU 11 may score the degree of similarity (degree of proximity in the case of the location) for each location, size, and food type, and for example, may determine whether the average value of each score is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. . In addition, since it is assumed that the importance of the food type is high for the menu, the CPU 11 may weight the above score of the food type relative to other scores.

  Thereby, the information processing apparatus reflects the selling menu of the restaurant B existing in the vicinity of the restaurant A or whose scale and type of food are similar to the information provision site of the restaurant A, whereby the user's interest in the restaurant A Can be called with higher precision.

  In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 uses the menu information on the restaurant information providing site based on the POS data for each menu in a predetermined period, and the menu information having a predetermined number of items out in a predetermined period in a predetermined period. Updated to. However, the restaurant information providing server 100 may update the menu information to a predetermined number of menu information items having a lower number of items in a predetermined period.

  As a result, the restaurant information providing server 100 can advertise, to the user, a menu which the restaurant side wants to recommend to the customer but the number of items is not increasing. In this case, the POS system 200 of each restaurant notifies the restaurant information providing server 100 of recommended (sold) menu information of each restaurant, and the restaurant information providing server 100 receives the above-mentioned number of subordinate items Only the predetermined number of menus matching with the recommendation menu may be extracted from the menu of and the page may be updated by the menu information.

  In the above-described embodiment and the other embodiments, the restaurant information providing server 100 updates the menu information of the restaurant information providing site according to the number of items for each menu. However, the restaurant information providing server 100 may update the menu information according to the sales amount or the profit rate for each menu instead of the number of items for each menu. Further, the restaurant providing server 100 may update the menu information according to any two or more of the number of items for each menu, the sales amount, and the profit rate. That is, the restaurant information providing server 100 can update menu information according to at least one of the number of items for each menu, the sales amount and the profit rate. For example, the menu information is updated to a menu with the highest number of items out (within the predetermined ranking) and a menu with the highest sales amount (within the predetermined ranking) or a menu with the highest number of items out (within the predetermined ranking) or a top margin (within the predetermined ranking). It may be done.

  In this case, the restaurant information providing server 100 receives, from the POS system 200 of each restaurant, information on the sales or profit ratio for each menu in addition to the number of items as part of the POS data, and the sales information database 33 May be stored. With regard to the profit margin, the restaurant information providing server 100 receives at least information on the cost (purchase value) for each menu from the POS system 200 of each restaurant and subtracts the cost from the sales amount for the sales amount for each menu. The menu information may be updated to a predetermined number of higher-ranked menus having a high percentage of profit (this is defined as a profit rate).

  In the above embodiment, the server that operates the restaurant information providing site and the server that receives and manages POS data from the POS system 200 of each restaurant are the same server (the restaurant information providing server 100). However, separately from the server that provides restaurant information, a POS server that manages POS data of each restaurant is separately provided, and the POS data is exchanged between the POS server and the restaurant information providing server, thereby The menu information on the shop information providing site may be updated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 provides a portal site (restaurant information providing site) in which a plurality of restaurant information are posted, and the restaurant information providing server 100 is specified in the restaurant information providing site. An example of updating menu information on a web page of a restaurant has been described. However, the target to be updated may not be a web page.

  For example, the restaurant information providing server 100 displays restaurant information displayed by an application or a dedicated program on an order reception terminal (tablet PC or dedicated terminal) installed at each table in each restaurant so that the user can browse and operate. The menu information on the menu publication page included in the provided page group may be updated based on the POS data for each menu. The menu information updated in this case may be, for example, a menu posted as a recommended menu in the top page of the restaurant information provision page group or the menu publication page at the order reception terminal.

  Further, when a user terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet PC carried by the user functions as the order receiving terminal, the menu displayed on the user terminal may be updated based on the POS data. In this case, the user terminal may be made orderable to the POS system 200 of the restaurant by selecting a menu on the menu page on the restaurant information provision site, or menu information from the POS system 200 or the outside may be ordered. It may be possible to make an order to the POS system 200 by downloading the included application and the like and selecting the menu on the menu posting page in the restaurant information provision page group displayed on the application.
