DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention seeks order data while searching for item data including a unit price set and stored in a product file on the basis of input data. It relates to a processing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Referring to FIG. 7, an order data processing apparatus includes a station (ST) having a handy terminal 10 forming a plurality of data input means and a radio modem 20.
N) 30, a slip issuing printer (CCP) 50, and a kitchen printer (KP) 40 disposed in the kitchen 300.
And an accounting unit (T / M) 60 composed of an electronic cash register or the like provided at the accounting office 200, and is formed so as to be able to execute order data processing for menu orders and the like. 1 is a data communication line (for example,
LAN).

[0003] A number of tables 101 are arranged in the in-store customer seat area 100, and a customer service clerk WRK carrying the handy terminal 10 inputs data (for example, an item code) related to an order from each customer CST. That is, the customer service clerk WRK uses the handy terminal 10 and refers to the input guidance, while using the table number (No.),
Enter the number of people and their assigned number (No.) (ST4 in FIG. 8).
After that, the menu (item code) and its quantity are input as order data (ST41).
YES). These order data are temporarily stored in the order table (ST42) and displayed on the display (T4).
3) is done.

After inputting and storing all the order data, the customer service clerk WRK presses (ON) the transmission key while referring to the transmission operation guidance (YES in ST44).
Thus, the order data is transmitted to station 30 via wireless modem 20 (ST45). When the transmission ends (YES in ST46), the order data stored in the order table is cleared (ST46).
47).

When the station 30 receives the order data (YES in ST50 of FIG. 9), the station 30 refers to a product (menu) file in which item data (menu data) including a name, a unit price and the like are set and stored. The order data is stored (ST51) and displayed on the display (ST52). After editing for print output (ST53), KP40 and CC
The data is transmitted to P50 (YES in ST54 and ST55).
Thus, the order data is determined, stored in the customer file (ST56), and deleted from the order file (ST57).

An order slip is printed and issued from the KP 40, and a customer slip with a slip number (No.) is printed and issued from the CCP 50 (ST102). Therefore, the kitchen 300 receives the order slip and immediately starts cooking. The customer slip is later handed to the customer CST by the customer clerk WRK. Then, the customer CST after eating and drinking submits a customer slip to the cashier, thereby performing accounting at the accounting office 200.

That is, in the accounting unit 60, the cashier receives the slip No. Is designated (YES in ST60 of FIG. 10), an inquiry about order data is made to the station 30 (ST61). The station 30 having received this inquiry searches the customer file and finds the relevant slip No. Is transmitted to the accounting unit 60. The accounting unit 60 stores the received order data in the accounting memory (ST61).

When the cashier performs a closing operation by, for example, pressing down (ON) the deposit / current total key, the payment accounting processing control means operates, and the payment accounting processing is performed using the order data (ST62 to ST68, FIG. 11 ST72)
I do. That is, each unit price for all the number N of items included in the order data is subtotaled and added (ST62 to S62).
T68), with respect to the added subtotal amount (total amount), payment accounting processing including change amount calculation, receipt issuance, drawer opening, and the like is performed (ST72 in FIG. 11).

Incidentally, restaurants and the like in which such an order data processing device is installed are no exception, and competition is fierce.
Therefore, product (menu) unit prices have been further reduced by corporate efforts. The unit price is changed and stored in a menu file in the station 30.

[0010] However, the unit price reduction increases the customer attraction, but if the customer turnover rate decreases, it is not possible to secure an appropriate profit. Therefore, a time fee (for example, a seat fee) according to the residence time in the store may be charged. That is, the customer's in-store residence time and the unit time fee are input by key operation (ST69, ST70 in FIG. 11), and the time fee for the time calculation item is calculated using both input data (ST7).
1) Then, the total amount related to the general item (ST6 in FIG. 10)
6), this time fee is added to the payment accounting processing (ST7).
2) is formed.

[0011]

However, since the data confirmation, data input operation, and calculation of the time fee for the time calculation item introduced as a measure for improving the customer turnover rate are cumbersome and require a long time, a time fee is charged. The customer who ordered only the general items that do not need to be paid is likely to prolong the payment accounting waiting time, or to easily calculate the staying time or the unit time fee. Therefore, it has been pointed out that this may rather deteriorate customer service. Also,
Since the staying time to be input is determined exclusively by the time management and mental calculation and manual calculation of the in-store clerk, it has been pointed out that the labor load on the clerk is large and gives a sense of unfairness among customers.

An object of the present invention is to provide an order data processing apparatus which can process a time calculation item as quickly and accurately as a general item, and which can handle payment easily and easily.

[0013]

An order data processing device according to the present invention obtains order data while searching for item data including a unit price set and stored in a product file based on input data, and obtains order data. In the order data processing device configured to be processable, the product file is formed so that the time calculation item data including the unit time fee can be set and stored together with the general item data, and the order data is a time calculation item in the payment accounting process. Determining means for determining whether or not there is an item; a dwell time calculating means for calculating the in-store dwell time of the customer when the item is determined to be a time calculation item; The hourly charge for the time calculation item is calculated using the The hourly rate calculating means for calculation provided, and can execute up the payment accounted mix and the general items and time calculation items, characterized in that.

[0014]

In the case of the present invention having the above configuration, prior to the payment accounting processing, the determination means determines whether or not the order data is a time calculation item. If it is determined that the item is a time calculation item, the stay time calculating means calculates the in-store stay time for the customer. Then, the hourly fee calculating means calculates the hourly fee using the unit hourly fee set in the product file and the calculated staying time.

Thus, if the time calculation item data including the unit time charge is previously set and stored in the product file in the same manner as the general item data, the data can be input without discrimination while both items are mixed. It is simple and allows time accounting items to be accounted for as quickly and accurately as general items.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. This order data processing device, as shown in FIG.

0 to 33).

The keyboard 64 is provided with the same slip number designation input key 64N as in the conventional example and a deposit / current total key 64T for performing a closing operation.

Here, the determination means is a payment accounting process (FIG. 6).
At step ST33), means for determining whether or not the order data (item data) [ST24 in FIG. 5] is a time calculation item.
It is formed by the OM 62 and the CPU 61, and is executed in ST26 of FIG.

The staying time calculating means calculates the in-store staying time T for the customer who brought the customer slip when it is determined that the item is a time calculating item (YES in ST26), and stores the calculating program. ROM6
2 and the CPU 61, and is executed in ST28 of FIG.

In the case of this embodiment, the entry time t1 is
Entry time reading setting control means (CPU 31, ROM 32)
As the time when the order data is received from the data input means (10A) (YES in ST10 of FIG. 4),
The reading setting is set in the work area of M33 (ST11), and the store opening time t2 is set by the store opening time reading setting control means (CPU
61, ROM 62), the current time when it is determined to be a time calculation item (YES in ST26 of FIG. 6) is read from the clock circuit 65 and read and set in the work area of the RAM 63 (ST27 in FIG. 6). Is formed.

Therefore, the residence time calculating means (61, 6)

The unit time charge At refers to the order data set and stored in the menu file 33F forming the product file. In this embodiment, the order data to be paid is settled in the accounting unit 60. Since the payment accounting process is performed after the call is stored in the memory 63R (61 in FIG. 10), it is understood that the payment accounting process is indirectly expressed as that stored in the account memory 63.

The subtotal addition control means (CPU 61, R
OM62) adds the subtotal to the closing memory formed in the RAM 63 regardless of the unit price of the general item retrieved in ST24 of FIG. 5 or the time fee of the time calculation item calculated in ST29 of FIG. 6 (ST30 in FIG. 6). ) Is formed. Therefore, the payment accounting process (ST33) can be performed on both items together without distinction.

It should be noted that the summation is performed after the subtotal addition. The subtotal does not include the tax amount and the total includes the tax amount. Therefore, the sum addition control means (CPU 61, R
Obviously, the OM 62) may be configured to calculate the tax amount of each item and add up the sum including the tax amount.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. Data input in this embodiment is performed in the same manner as in the conventional example (FIG. 8). That is, the cashier operates the keyboard 1 of the handy terminal 10A forming the data input means.
4 to input data. For example, a general item is operated by pressing down the A launch key, and a time calculation item is performed by pressing down, for example, a seat charge key (ST in FIG. 8).
40, 41). Therefore, the input operation of the cashier itself is exactly the same as in the conventional example, that is, it is not necessary to distinguish between the general item and the time calculation item.

The station 30 receives the order data (item code) (YES in ST10 of FIG. 4).
Then, the CPU 31 searches the product file (menu file 33F) shown in FIG.
It is stored in the OF (ST12). Prior to this, the entry time reading setting control means (31, 32) reads the entry time t1 from the clock circuit 35 and temporarily stores it in the work area of the RAM 33 (ST11).

Here, in the order file 33OF,
As shown in FIG. (“0001”), the number of 10 items (“10”), the responsibility No. ("000
1), store entry time t1 (“12:00”), item codes (“0001”, “0002”,..., “005”).
0 "," 0100 "), and the item code includes its name, unit price, and the like.

Slip No. When the customer who has brought the customer slip printed with “(0001)” checks in the accounting unit 60, the cashier uses the slip number designation input key 64 N on the keyboard 64 to set the relevant slip No.
(“0001”) (YE in ST20 of FIG. 5)
S). Then, the CPU 61 inquires the station 30 about the order data. The station 30 retrieves the customer file 33CF and returns the order data to the accounting unit 60. This order data is the same as that previously stored in the order file 33OF shown in FIG. 3, and is stored in the accounting memory 63R (S in FIG. 5).
T21).

Here, the cashier holds the deposit / current total key 6
When the closing operation is performed by pressing (ON) 4T, the CPU 61 forming the subtotal addition control means (61, 62) searches the accounting memory 63R for each item (ST22 in FIG. 5).
25, ST31 and 32 in FIG. 6) and add the unit price to the closing memory (63) (ST30 in FIG. 6). That is, a general item (for example, item code “000”
1 "and the name" A lunch "), the unit price (" 1,000 yen ") is added as it is (ST30).

However, the retrieved item is determined by the determination means (6
1, 62) by checking the flag (“01”), the time calculation item (for example, item code “0100”,
It is determined that the name is “seat fee”, the unit time unit price is “500 yen”, and the unit price is “1:00” (YE in ST26 in FIG. 6).
S), the store opening time reading setting control means (61, 6)
2) reads the store opening time t2 from the clock circuit 65 and
3 is set in the work area (ST27).

Subsequently, the residence time calculating means (61, 62)
Calculates the residence time T (T = t2-t1) (ST2).
8). Here, the hourly charge calculating means (61, 62) calculates the hourly charge AT using the residence time T thus calculated and the unit time charge At (“500 yen”) of the order data (AT). = At x T) (ST29).
If T = 3 hours, the hourly charge AT is 1,500 yen.

Then, the subtotal addition control means (61, 62)
Adds the subtotal (ST30) to the closing memory in the RAM 63 without distinguishing the time fee AT for the time calculation item from the unit price of the general item.

Thus, the payment accounting process (ST33) is performed after the total amount including the tax amount is set. That is, the general items and the time calculation items are collectively processed without being distinguished from each other.

Thus, according to this embodiment, the time calculation item data including the unit time charge At in the product file (menu file 33F) can be set and stored in the same manner as the general item data, and the determination means (6)
1, 62), residence time calculation means (61, 62), and time charge calculation means (61, 62), and data entry and payment are performed without discriminating time calculation items from general items. It is configured to be able to perform accounting processing, so that the payment accounting processing of time calculation items can be quickly and accurately performed while reducing the labor of the cashier and shortening the waiting time of the customer, and can be carried out fairly and smoothly between customers and the handling is also easy. Extremely simple.

Further, since the discriminating means (61, 62) is formed to discriminate whether or not the item is a time calculation item by checking the flag, the processing can be performed at higher speed.

Also, the residence time calculating means (61, 62)
Are the entry time t1 read and set by the entry time read setting control means (31, 32) and the store opening time read setting control means (6).
1, 62) is used to calculate the residence time T using the store opening time t2 read and set, so that the time management of the staff who is physically and mentally burdensome can be wiped out and more accurately and accurately. You can do fair calculations.

The time calculation item set and stored in the product file (33F) is not different from the general item, and its data (name, unit time charge) can be changed by key operation. So
The applicability is wide as it can respond to changes in the number of time calculation items and changes in content.

In the above embodiment, the station 3
0 and the accounting unit 60 are individually configured.
0 and 60 are integrated, for example, order file 33
The present invention can be implemented by integrally forming the OF, the customer file 33CF, and the accounting memory 63R.
