[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic cash register used in restaurants and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a restaurant such as a restaurant, when a customer places an order for food or the like, the order contents are registered in the electronic cash register for each customer, and when the customer finishes the meal and pays for it, There is a place where a method of printing registered contents and issuing it as a receipt is adopted. Therefore, even if the customer places an additional order several times before the payment, the order contents are all registered and the payment can be made collectively at the time of payment (see, for example, JP-A-55-88162).

In restaurants such as restaurants, a so-called single item function is provided in an electronic cash register in order to notify a customer of a customer's order details to a cooking place, and a receipt is automatically generated every time one dish is ordered. It is configured to issue and deliver the receipt to the kitchen.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, as a method of registering customers separately, a code number is assigned to each customer,
A method of managing by code number is generally performed. When registering a customer's order, a clerk first inputs a customer's code number, and then registers the ordered product. If the ordered product is set as a single item, a receipt will be issued at the same time as the product is registered and the registration process will be completed, so if the same customer continues to order, the clerk will enter the code number again In addition, it is necessary to register the product, and it takes a long time to register, and there is a problem that an input error of a code number is apt to occur.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and means for detecting presence / absence of a clerk identification key, and while the clerk identification key is attached,
A receipt is issued when a product set as a single item is registered, and the control means controls the registration of the next product so as to be enabled.

[0006]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, even when registering a product set as a single item, the user simply enters the customer's code number first, and the registration of the product is performed continuously. A receipt can be issued each time.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a circuit configuration of an electronic cash register according to the present invention. (1) is a control circuit composed of a microprocessor, which is entirely controlled in accordance with a program in a program memory (2) in which a processing program is stored in advance. Oversee the control of (3) is a keyboard composed of a plurality of key switches, such as a numeric key, a commodity section key, and a transaction key, and is connected to the control circuit (1) via a signal bus (4). A data memory (5) stores data input from the keyboard (3), data processed by the control circuit (1), and the like, and stores data relating to each key of the keyboard (3) as shown in FIG. Area (5A)
And buffer area where input data is temporarily stored (5B)
And an area (5C) for storing other data. The area (5A) is an area (5D) for storing a key name, an area (5E) for storing a product name, an area (5F) for storing a unit price, an area (5G) for storing whether or not a single item, and a sales total. (5H). In the case of a single item, data “1” is set in the area (5G), and otherwise “0”.
Is set.

(6) A registration memory for storing registration data for each customer, as shown in FIG. 3, composed of a plurality of memory blocks (M ₁ ) to (M _N ). It is configured to store customer order data, and manages which memory block is used by a code number corresponding to the customer. (7) is a display for displaying data input from the keyboard (3) or data processed by the control circuit (1). (8) is a printing device for printing data input from the keyboard (3) or data processed by the control circuit (1). (9)
Is a key switch to which a clerk identification key possessed by each clerk is attached, and supplies a key signal corresponding to the attached key to the control circuit (1). The clerk who is operating based on the clerk is identified, and the sales total is calculated for each clerk.

Next, the operation of the present invention having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Prior to use, predetermined data is input to and stored in the areas (5E) to (5G) of the data memory (5) in accordance with the commodity section keys. It is assumed that data is set as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the clerk receives the customer's order and performs registration, the clerk first proceeds to step (S
After the clerk identification key is attached to the key switch (9) in 1), the code number assigned to the customer is input by the ten keys of the keyboard (3) in step (S2), and then the step (S)
Operate the TRACK key to indicate that the data input in step 3) is a code number. Accordingly, the control circuit (1) having detected the input of the code number proceeds to step (S4), allocates a memory block of the registration memory (6), and then proceeds to step (S5) to detect the operation of the department key. . Assuming that the customer has ordered "beer", the clerk operates the department 1 key. Therefore, the control circuit (1) that has detected the operation of the department key in step (S5) returns to step (S6).
Then, the data is read out from the corresponding area of the data memory (5) and the product name and the unit price are displayed on the display (7). Then, the process proceeds to step (S7) to check the data in the area (5G) to determine whether the item is set as a single item. Since "1" is stored in the area (5G) corresponding to the department 1 key and set as a single item, the process proceeds to step (S8), and the sales amount is added to the area (5H) corresponding to the department 1 key. Is performed, and the details of the purchased product and the sales amount are added to, for example, the memory block (M ₁ ) designated by the code number “1000” in the registration memory (6). Next, the control circuit (1)
Proceeds to step (S10), supplies data corresponding to the department 1 key of the data memory (5) to the printing device (8), and prints a receipt as shown in FIG. This receipt is not passed on to the customer but to the kitchen to inform them of the order. After printing the receipt, the control circuit (1) proceeds to step (S11) to determine whether or not the clerk identification key is mounted on the key switch (9). If the customer ordered only one product, the control circuit (1) proceeds to step (S1) because the clerk has immediately removed the clerk identification key from the key switch (9) after operating the department 1 key.
The process proceeds from 1) to the next process.

If the same customer makes an additional order after a while, the clerk proceeds in the same manner as described above to the customer's code number "1".
000 "After you enter, by operating the department key of my order of the customer, along with the receipt is issued, the addition of sales data is performed in the memory block (M ₁₎ of the registration memory (6).

In the above description, the customer places an order for each product. Next, a case where the customer orders a plurality of products at a time will be described. In this case as well, the clerk attaches the clerk identification key to the key switch (9), inputs the customer's code number "2000", and then operates the department key corresponding to the ordered product. If the customer orders "beer", "wine" and "whiskey", the clerk first operates the department 1 key, and the control circuit (1) executes step (S).
In step 6), the data corresponding to the department 1 key is read out from the data memory (5) and displayed on the display (7). Since the item is a single item product, the process proceeds from step (S7) to step (S8) and proceeds to the registration memory ( 6) Registration is made in another memory block, for example, (M ₂ ). Then, step (S
Proceeding to 10), the printer 8 is controlled, and a receipt as shown in FIG. 7A is issued. After the receipt is issued, the clerk identification key is still attached to the key switch (9), and the control circuit (1) proceeds to step (S5) to detect that the department key is operated. Then, when the store clerk operates the department 2 key of the next product, the receipt shown in FIG. 7B and the registration in the memory block (M ₂ ) of the registration memory (6) are similarly performed. Then, the operation of the section 3 key of the last product is performed in the same manner.
As shown in (3), three receipts are issued. When the clerk finishes all the operations of the department key, the clerk removes the clerk identification key from the key switch (9), so that the control circuit (1) proceeds to the next processing from step (S11). In this way, if the customer orders a product set as a single item at the same time, the customer's code number need only be entered first.

In the above description, the registration of a single item is all performed. However, when an item not set as a single item is ordered, the control circuit (1) proceeds to step (S9). In the same way, registration is made in the registration memory (6) and a single item prohibition flag is set. As a result, even if a product set as a single item is subsequently registered, the registration is ignored and normal registration is performed, and a receipt is not issued every time a product is registered. In this case, when the total key is operated at the end of registration, printing is performed collectively on one receipt.

Next, when the customer finishes the meal and pays,
When the clerk inputs the customer's code number and then performs a key operation for instructing settlement, the control circuit (1) reads out the contents of the memory block of the registration memory (6) corresponding to the code number, and prints it out (8). And issues a receipt as shown in FIG. On this receipt, the details of all the products ordered by the customer are printed. Further, since the control circuit (1) displays the total amount of the sales on the display (7), the customer pays the amount and gives the customer a receipt.

[0016]

As described above, the electronic cash register of the present invention manages the sales of each customer by using a code number and registers the sales for each customer. When issuing a receipt each time, during the period when the clerk identification key is attached, it is possible to continuously register single item products,
When successively registering single item products, it is not necessary to input the customer's code number each time registration is performed, unlike the related art, so that registration can be performed in a short time and malfunction due to a code number input error can be reduced.
