Description

The present invention relates to an order entry system, a mobile terminal, a table-equipped terminal, a POS terminal, and an ordering method.

This type of order entry system includes a large number of order terminals such as handy terminals, a cooking instruction terminal such as a kitchen printer and a kitchen display, a POS (Point of Sales) terminal, and a management terminal.

Each handy terminal is a terminal that is operated by a store clerk and receives customer orders. The cooking instruction terminal is a terminal that is installed in the kitchen and outputs (instructs) customer order information. The POS terminal is a terminal that performs accounting processing of customer orders and issues sales receipts. The management terminal is a terminal that manages customer orders and transmits customer order information to the cooking instruction terminal and the POS terminal. The POS terminal, the management terminal, and the cooking instruction terminal are connected to each other by wired communication. On the other hand, the handy terminal is connected to the order entry system by wireless communication.

In view of the shortage of manpower in the food and drink industry in recent years, in such an order entry system, there is an increasing number of restaurants that change from order input by a clerk to a so-called self-order method in which a customer inputs an order by himself. In the self-order method, a customer can place an order by himself/herself using a table equipped terminal arranged on each table. The table equipped terminal is also called a self-order terminal, a self-terminal, or a customer order terminal. That is, the table-equipped terminal is a terminal having an order input screen such as a tablet placed in the audience, and the customer himself/herself inputs an order on the order input screen to place an order. In this case, similarly to the handy terminal, the table equipped terminal is connected to the order entry system by wireless communication. By adopting this technology, we have succeeded in reducing the order entry work of store staff.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a self-order type ordering system in which a customer himself/herself places an order at a restaurant or the like by operating a terminal, and the customer himself/herself goes to pick up food.

However, such a self-order method has the following problems. More specifically, in the well-known self-order method, the pages of the selection menu are sequentially switched from the pages of the initial selection menu and displayed on the order input screen of the table-equipped terminal according to the customer's operation. At this time, the child to the elderly operate the same order input screen without considering who operates the order input screen. Therefore, as a page of the selection menu, it is difficult to reach the page displaying the food item to be ordered, or the page displaying the food item to be ordered cannot be found. As a result, it leads to lost opportunities. In addition, it takes a long time to input the order of the target food item, which causes a decrease in the turnover rate of the restaurant.

In order to solve such problems, various prior arts related to the present invention have been proposed.

For example, Patent Document 2 discloses an order system in which a menu can be referred to by a general-purpose menu configuration and an order action can be performed by a general-purpose procedure. In Patent Document 2, a menu can be browsed before entering a store, a store can be selected, and a temporary order can be made. By registering standard orders (including options) as favorites in advance, you do not have to make detailed orders every time.

In Patent Document 2, a data center whose information is constantly updated is accessed by a mobile phone or a smartphone to call an application of this order system. If you select a restaurant, call the menu. Check the necessary drinks and food, and make a reservation if OK. Since the reservation has been completed, the store can know that the reservation has arrived. Confirmation of entering the store can be performed using a QR code (registered trademark) provided on the table. The QR code is a matrix type two-dimensional code.

Patent Document 3 discloses an "ordering system" that can perform ordering in a short time and reduce the occurrence of erroneous ordering. The ordering system disclosed in Patent Document 3 is a portable terminal carried by a customer, a two-dimensional code reading means provided in a store, and a store server provided in the store and connected to the two-dimensional code reading means. It has and. The mobile terminal has a two-dimensional code generation means and a display means.

In Patent Document 3, the fast food restaurant (FFR) ordering application is pre-installed in the mobile terminal and is updated as needed via the Internet or the like. A QR code is attached to the menu. When selecting a product using this QR code, the customer scans the QR code attached to the food and drink he/she wants to order from the menu by using the scanning function of the mobile terminal. read. When the customer inputs that the order may be placed, the order information is confirmed. The mobile terminal creates a QR code based on the confirmed order information, and displays the created QR code on the display unit of the mobile terminal. The customer holds the display section of the mobile terminal displaying the QR code created in this way over the QR code reader provided in the FFR, and the QR code reader displays the QR code displayed on the display section. Scan the code. The QR code reader reads the QR code, converts the read QR code into character string information corresponding to the order information, and transfers the converted character string information to the store server. Based on the transferred character string information, the store server reads the names, images, prices, etc. of each food and drink stored in the database in advance, further calculates the total amount, and converts it into order information.

Patent Document 4 discloses a technical idea in which the usability of a food and drink menu is improved. The menu output system disclosed in Patent Document 4 includes a menu output device which is a server device and one or more menu output terminals which are terminal devices owned by a customer. The menu output terminal is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a so-called smartphone, a portable personal computer, an order terminal installed at a seat of a store, or the like.

In Patent Document 4, the menu output device (server device) includes an order information reception unit, an order history storage unit, a food/drink attribute information storage unit, a preference information acquisition unit, and a menu acquisition unit. The order information receiving unit receives order information. The order information is information indicating the food and drink ordered by the user to the restaurant. The order information includes food and drink identification information that is food and drink identification information. The order history storage unit stores order history information and past order history information. The order history information is information indicating the history of food and drink ordered during the current visit to the store. The past order history information is information indicating the history of food and drink ordered in the past. The food and drink attribute information storage unit stores one or more food and drink attribute information. The food/drink attribute information is information associated with the food/drink identification information, and is information indicating the attribute of the food/drink indicated by the food/drink identification information. The preference information acquisition unit acquires preference information, which is information indicating the preference of the user, from the past order history information. The preference information is, for example, information indicating a food/drink attribute information and a pattern for selecting the food/drink attribute information.

The menu acquisition unit is a menu in which menu items are arranged, and acquires a menu in a mode corresponding to the order history information stored in the order history storage unit and the food and drink attribute information stored in the food and drink attribute storage unit. To do. The menu acquisition unit acquires a menu in a mode according to the preference information acquired by the preference information acquisition unit. When the preference information is information indicating that "I love beer", for example, the menu acquisition unit arranges the menu item of "beer" at a position where it is easy to select, or displays the "beer" at a prominent position. Display it or use it as a menu item for large beer instead of medium one.

Patent Document 5 discloses a "food and drink ordering system" that allows quick and efficient ordering of desired food and drink for each individual user without the need for a customer attendant.

The menu display ordering means incorporated in the remote control device is used to display a dedicated room service screen, and the user ID is selected and input. When menu items ordered for a predetermined number of times and/or a predetermined frequency or more are recorded in the history information recording section for each user ID, the central control means gives priority to these distinguishable items by the user ID. It is controlled so that it can be ordered and the displayed menu item can be ordered by linking the user ID. Then, when a desired menu item is ordered, the history management means of the central control means associates the order data with the user ID with the user ID in the history information recording section, and the history information for each user. Record the ordered menu items in the management table.

In Patent Document 5, on the display screen of the touch panel of the remote control device, prior to the entire menu screen, the menu item is preferentially displayed together with the title "Recommended menu". On this display screen, for the menu items ordered a predetermined number of times and/or a predetermined frequency or more, the names thereof and selection icons of the presence/absence of orders are provided. The user can order the desired food and drink quickly and efficiently by inputting the "order" icon of the menu item.

Patent Document 6 discloses a "foodstuff ordering/delivery service system" that eliminates the complicated ordering process of the purchaser and enables further increase in demand. The foodstuff ordering and delivery service system disclosed in Patent Document 6 includes an order management server on the side of a store, an orderer terminal on the side of an orderer, and the Internet connecting them. The order management server accepts an order for a product through server access from the orderer.

However, Patent Documents 2 to 6 have the following problems.

In Patent Document 2, it is necessary to access a data center with a mobile phone or a smartphone and call an application of an order system. Therefore, communication charges will occur. Specifically, in Patent Document 2, before entering a store, a standard order (option) is included from a familiar menu displayed with a general configuration that can be obtained from a data center accessed by a mobile phone or a smartphone. It is necessary to select the item. Since the displayed (referenced) menu has a general-purpose structure, it is difficult to reach the page displaying the food item to be ordered as the selection menu page. Further, in Patent Document 2, it is necessary for a customer to operate a mobile phone or a smartphone to select food items from a menu in advance. That is, it is necessary to confirm the order information on the mobile phone or smartphone. At that time, in Patent Document 2, since the customer's past order history is not taken into consideration at all, the customer needs to operate the mobile phone or the smartphone in the same manner every time an order is placed.

In Patent Document 3, the customer operates the mobile terminal each time an order is placed (for example, if a QR code is attached to the menu, scan the QR code, etc.) to select the product from the menu. (Cooking item) must be selected. In other words, similarly to Patent Document 2 described above, in Patent Document 3 it is necessary to confirm the order information in the mobile terminal. At that time, like Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3 does not consider the past order history of the customer at all, and therefore the customer needs to operate the mobile terminal in the same manner every time an order is placed.

Patent Document 4 merely discloses a menu output system that accumulates history information of ordered food and drinks and dynamically changes a menu for ordering. In order to realize that, the menu output device (server device) needs to be provided with an order history storage unit in which past order history information is stored.

Patent Document 5 determines a favorite menu item for each user from the ordered menu items recorded a predetermined number of times and/or a predetermined frequency or more, for each user ID, It merely discloses a food and drink ordering system that enables priority display of these items so that they can be ordered. In order to realize this, it is necessary to provide a hard disk drive (HDD) of the karaoke playing device with a history information recording unit including a user-specific history information management table associated with each user ID.

Patent Document 6 merely discloses an order management server configured to transmit a list of food menus to an orderer terminal in the descending order of the number of orders from the past order history. In order to realize this, the orderer terminal must have order access to the order management server, and the order management server also includes an order history table that stores "cooking information" that the customer has ordered in the past. It is necessary to have a customer management database.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to facilitate order entry by a customer in a restaurant.

In order to achieve the above object, as one aspect of the present invention, an order entry system is installed in a kitchen to indicate a customer's order information, a mobile terminal carried by the customer, a table-equipped terminal operated by the customer.
