The restaurant sells the product A (for example, beer) and the product C (for example, edamame) at a special sale price to customers who visit the store during the special sale period. In addition to the time, the special sale period storage unit 143 may be set to a special sale period such as a day period (for example, 1st to 10th of every month) or a month period (May and June).

  The play time storage unit 144 stores the play time. When the special sale period is time, the play time is a time (for example, 5 minutes) having a front and back width in association with either or both of the start time and the end time of the special sale period. For example, when the start time of the special sale period is 17:00, the play time is from 16:55 to 17:00. The play time is from 17:00 to 17:05. The play time may be set only before or after the start time of the special sale period. When the play time is before the start time of the special sale period, for example, the play time is from 16:55 to 17:00. When the play time is after the start time of the special sale period, the play time is, for example, 17:00 to 17:05.

  Further, for example, when the end time of the special sale period is 19:00, the play time is from 18:55 to 19:00. Also, the play time is from 19:00 to 19:05. The play time may be set only before or after the end time of the special sale period. When the play time is before the end time of the special sale period, the play time is, for example, 18:55 to 19:00. When the play time is after the end time of the special sale period, the play time is, for example, 19:00 to 19:05.

  The play time can be changed in the settings. The play time is changed depending on the business form of the store. For example, a restaurant with many customers may set a long play time. In addition, a restaurant with a small space in the store may have a short play time.

  The determination unit 101 sells or sells the product based on the current time counted by the timer 20, the special sale period stored in the special sale period storage unit 143, and the play time stored in the play time storage unit 144. It is determined whether the time when the order is accepted is within the special sale period or within the play time including the start time and / or the end time of the special sale period.

  The determination unit 101 determines that it is within the play time if it is within the time stored in the play time storage unit before and after the start time of the special sale period as the reference time. The determination unit 101 may determine that it is within the play time if it is within the time stored in the play time storage unit before the start time with the start time of the special sale period as the reference time. The determination unit 101 may determine that it is within the play time if it is within the time stored in the play time storage unit after the start time with the start time of the special sale period as the reference time.

  Further, the determination unit 101 determines that it is within the play time if it is within the time stored in the play time storage unit before and after the end time with the end time of the special sale period as the reference time. The determining unit 101 may determine that it is within the play time if it is within the time stored in the play time storage unit before the end time with the end time of the special sale period as the reference time. Further, the determination unit 101 may determine that it is within the play time if it is within the time stored in the play time storage unit after the end time with the end time of the special sale period as the reference time.

  When the determination unit 101 determines that it is within the special sale period or during the play time, the price setting unit 102 applies the special sale price as the price of the sold or ordered product. The price setting unit 102 applies the normal price as the price of the sold or ordered product when the determination unit 101 determines that it is not within the special sale period and within the play time. In addition, the price setting unit 102 applies the normal price when the product is not a special place product.

  When the determination unit 101 determines that it is within the special sale period or play time, the price setting unit 102 stores the price of the sold or ordered product in the special sale price unit 1425 of the product master 142. Apply. The price setting unit 102 stores the price of the sold or ordered product in the normal price unit 1423 of the product master 142 when the determination unit 101 determines that it is not within the special sale period and within the play time. Apply the regular price.

  The inquiry display unit 103 displays, on the display unit, an inquiry screen for inquiring whether or not to apply the special sale price when the determination unit 101 determines that the time at which the sale or order of the product is received is within the play time. The inquiry display unit 103 determines that the determination unit 101 receives the sale or order of the product within the play time, and the play flag unit 132 does not store the play flag 1 (that is, the play flag 0). Is stored), an inquiry screen for inquiring whether the special sale price is applicable is displayed on the display unit.

  The price setting unit 102 applies the bargain price as the price of the ordered product when the response indicating that the bargain price can be applied is operated in response to the inquiry displayed by the inquiry display unit 103.

  The inquiry display unit 103 displays, on the inquiry screen G, an applicable key 182 indicating that the bargain price is applicable and an application disapproval key 183 indicating whether the bargain price is applied.

  The response determination unit 104 determines which of the applicable key 182 and the non-applicable key 183 displayed is operated.

  When the response determination unit 104 determines that the applicable key 182 is operated, the price setting unit 102 determines that the response that the sale price is applicable is operated, and the response determination unit 104 operates the inapplicability key 183. If it is determined that the sale price has been applied, it is determined that the response that the sale price is not applied has been operated.

  The inquiry display unit 103 does not display an inquiry screen for products that have been sold or ordered within the play time thereafter, when the products sold or ordered by the price setting unit 102 have a bargain price.

  From here, the control processing of the ordering apparatus 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of control processing of the ordering device 1. As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 100 of the ordering device 1 determines whether the product key 26C has been operated (S11). At this time, the control unit 100 measures the time when the product key 26C is operated, based on the current time output from the timer 20. When it is determined that the product key 26C has been operated (Yes in S11), the control unit 100 accepts the input of the product code of the product assigned to the operated product key 26C and corresponds to the accepted product code. It is determined whether the product is a special sale product (S12). When the flag information stored in the target product section 1424 corresponding to the input product code is flag 1, the control unit 100 determines that the product is a special sale product. Further, when the flag information stored in the target product unit 1424 is the flag 0, the control unit 100 determines that the product is a normal product that is not a special sale product.

  When it is determined that the sale item is a sale item (Yes in S12), the determination unit 101 determines the current time measured by the timer 20, the sale period stored in the sale period storage unit 143, and the play time storage unit 144. Based on the play time stored in, the time when the product key 26C is operated (the time when the sale or order is accepted) is within the play time related to the start time of the special sale period, or the end time of the special sale period. It is determined whether it is within the play time related to (S13). When the determination unit 101 determines that it is not within the play time related to the start time of the special sale period and is not within the play time related to the end time of the special sale period (No in S13), the determination unit 101 determines that the timer 20 Whether the time when the product key 26C is operated (the time when the sale or the order is received) is within the special sale period based on the current time measured by and the special sale period stored in the special sale period storage unit 143. A judgment is made (S20). When the determination unit 101 determines that it is within the special sale period (Yes in S20), the price setting unit 102 applies the special sale price as the price of the product for which the product key 26C is operated (S18). Then, the control unit 100 reads the product information including the normal price of the product from the product master 142 and stores it in the order information unit 131 (S19). Then, the control unit 100 ends the process.

  On the other hand, in S13, when the determination unit 101 determines that it is within the play time related to the start time of the special sale period or within the play time related to the end time of the special sale period (Yes in S13), the control unit The 100 determines whether or not the play flag 1 is stored in the play flag section 132 (S14). When it is determined that the play flag 1 is not stored in the play flag unit 132 (that is, the play flag 0 is stored) (No in S14), the inquiry display unit 103 determines whether the bargain price is applicable. An inquiry screen for making an inquiry is displayed on the display unit 17 (S15).

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the inquiry screen of the ordering device displayed in S15. As shown in FIG. 7, the inquiry screen G includes a message G1 for inquiring whether the bargain price is applied to the product for which the product key 26C is operated, and an applicable key 182 indicating that the bargain price is applied. A key with a certain “yes” displayed and a key with an “not applicable” key 183 indicating that the bargain price is not applied are displayed. The applicable key 182 and the non-applicable key 183 can be operated. Note that the current time (16:58 in the example of FIG. 7) is also displayed in the message G1 for inquiring whether to apply the bargain price. When the current time is displayed, the clerk can refer to it when deciding whether to apply the bargain price.

  The store clerk operates the applicable key 182 when applying the special sale price. If the bargain price is not applied, the applicability key 183 is operated. For example, in a restaurant, when the bargain start time is strictly executed, when the product is ordered in the play time before the bargain start time, the clerk operates the “No” applicability key 183 on the inquiry screen. You can do it. On the contrary, in the case of elastically executing the special sale start time, when the product is ordered in the play time before the special sale start time, the clerk operates the applicable key 182 of “Yes” on the inquiry screen. You can do this. For the play time related to the special sale end time, the operation based on the same operation may be performed.

  Returning to the explanation of FIG. Next, the response determination unit 104 determines whether the applicable key 182 has been operated (S16). When the response determination unit 104 determines that the applicable key 182 has been operated (Yes in S16), the control unit 100 sets the flag stored in the play flag unit 132 to the flag 1 (S17). And the control part 100 performs the process of S18-S19.

  When the response determination unit 104 determines that the applicable key 182 is not operated (that is, the application disapproval key 183 is operated) (No in S16), the price setting unit 102 determines that the product key 26C is The normal price is applied as the price of the operated product (S21). Then, the control unit 100 executes the processing of S19 and thereafter.

  In addition, in S14, when it is determined that the play flag 1 is stored in the play flag unit 132 (Yes in S14), the control unit 100 does not display the inquiry screen on the display unit 17, and thereafter S18 and thereafter. The process of is executed.

  If the determination unit 101 determines in S20 that it is not within the special sale period (No in S20), the control unit 100 executes the processes from S21. Further, when it is determined in S12 that the product is not a special sale product (No in S12), the control unit 100 executes the processes of S21 and thereafter. When it is determined in S12 that the product is not a special sale product (No in S12), the control unit 100 executes the process of S21. If it is determined in S16 that the applicable key 182 is not operated (No in S16), the process of S21 is executed.

  When it is determined in S11 that the product key 26C is not operated (No in S11), the control unit 100 determines whether the transmission key 26B is operated (S31). When it is determined that the transmission key 26B has been operated (Yes in S31), the control unit 100 transmits the product information of the ordered product stored in the order information unit 132 to the station 3 (S32). Then, the control unit 100 sets the flag stored in the play flag unit 132 to flag 0 (S33). Then, the control unit 100 ends the process. If it is determined that the operation of the transmission key 26B is not performed (No in S31), the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  According to such an embodiment, the bargain price is applied to the product for which the product key 26C is operated within the play time. Therefore, it is possible to apply the special sale price to the customer who comes to the store at a time near the start time of the special sale period and a time near the end time of the special sale period for sale.

  According to the embodiment, the inquiry screen is displayed for the product for which the product key 26C is operated during the play time, the bargain price is applied when the applicable key 182 is operated, and the inapplicability key 183 is operated. The special sale price is not applied when Therefore, when the application disapproval key 183 is operated to a customer who visits the store near the start time of the special sale period and near the end time of the special sale period, it is possible to apply the sale price and sell. is there.

  Further, according to the embodiment, when the special sale price is once applied to the product for which the product key 26C is operated during the play time, the inquiry screen is displayed for the special sale product for which the product key 26C is operated during the subsequent play time. The bargain price is automatically applied without displaying. Therefore, the special sale price can be applied to all the special sale products for which the product key 26C is operated within the play time without operating the applicable key 182 each time. Further, among the special sale products whose product keys 26C are operated within the play time, there are no products to which the special sale price is applied and products to which the special sale price is not applied.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, this embodiment is presented as an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The novel embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
