Then, the additional quantity is set as the initial value of the repetition counter A. Next, in ST11, the supplementary code of the additional order data acquired from the received message is checked to determine whether or not it is the supplementary code [04] of the urgent order. If it is not the auxiliary code [04] of the urgent order, the cooking instruction data table 83 is searched by the table number in the received message in ST12. As a result, when the table number in the received message is detected from the cooking instruction data table 83 as ST13,
Since it is an additional order from a customer who has not completed cooking of the ordered food item, the counter P is set to "1" in ST14.
After counting up, the data below the last data of the same table number in the cooking instruction data table 83 is shifted downward by one address in ST15. Thereafter, in ST16, the table number in the received message and the product code, additional code, and order time of the additional order data acquired from the received message are stored in the next address of the last data of the same table number in the cooking instruction data table 83. Store. Also,
The category is "2" indicating an additional item.

If the table number in the received message cannot be detected from the cooking instruction data table 83 in ST13,
Since it is an additional order from a customer who has already completed cooking of the ordered food item, the cooking instruction data (table number, product code, auxiliary code, order time, classification) stored in the additional cooking instruction data table 84 as ST17. After counting up the counter Q for counting the number of data of "1" by "1",
In ST18, the additional cooking instruction data table 84 is searched by the table number in the received message. As a result, the table number in the received message is added to the additional cooking instruction data table 84 in ST19.
, The data following the last data of the same table number in the additional cooking instruction data table 84 is shifted downward by one address in ST20. Thereafter, as ST21, the additional cooking instruction data table 84
In the next address of the last data of the same table number, the table number in the received message and the product code, additional code and order time of the additional order data acquired from the received message are stored. The category is “2” indicating an additional item.

If the table number in the received message cannot be detected from the additional cooking instruction data table 84 in ST19, the same reception as the table number in the received message is made at the address Q of the additional cooking instruction data table 84 in ST22. Store the product code, additional code, and order time of the additional order data acquired from the message. The category is “2” indicating an additional item.

The additional code of the additional order data acquired from the received message in ST11 is the additional code of the emergency order [04].
, The cooking instruction data table 8 is set as ST23.
The cooking instruction data from address 1 to address P of No. 3 is sequentially shifted downward by one address from address 2 to address (P + 1). Thereafter, in ST24, the table number in the received message, the product code of the additional order data acquired from the received message, the supplementary code, and the order time are stored in the address 1 of the cooking instruction data table 83. The category is “2” indicating an additional item.

When the processing in any of the above ST16, ST21, ST22 or ST24 is completed,
At T25, the repetition counter A is counted down by "1", and at ST26, it is determined whether or not the repetition counter A becomes "0". If the value is equal to or greater than "1", the process returns to ST11, and the processes after ST11 are performed again on the additional order data. If the repetition counter A is "0" in ST26, it is determined in ST27 whether the next additional order data exists in the received message. If there is, the process returns to ST10, and the next additional order data (product code, additional code,
(Additional quantity, order time). Then, the additional quantity is set as the initial value of the repetition counter A. Hereinafter, the processes after ST11 are repeated. When the above-described processing has been performed for all the additional order data in the received message, a cooking screen update processing described later is performed, and this processing ends.

When the CPU 62 receives the cooking cancellation instruction message in the format shown in FIG. 9C, the process proceeds to ST28 in FIG. 18, and the first canceled item data (commodity code, supplementary code, (Canceled quantity). Then, the cancellation quantity is set as the initial value of the counter A repeatedly. Next, in ST29, the cooking instruction data table 83 is searched with the table number in the received message and the product code of the canceled item data acquired from the received message. As a result, if the cooking instruction data in which the table number and the product code match the search code are detected from the cooking instruction data table 83 in ST30, the data is the cooking instruction data of the canceled item, and the cooking instruction data is determined in ST31. Is changed to “3” indicating the item to be canceled.

At ST 30, the data whose table number and product code match the search code are stored in the cooking instruction data table 83.
If it is not detected, the additional cooking instruction data table 84 is searched with the same search code as ST32. As a result, when the cooking instruction data in which the table number and the product code match the search code is detected from the additional cooking instruction data table 84 in ST33, the data is the cooking instruction data of the canceled item, and the process proceeds to ST31.
The category of the cooking instruction data is changed to “3” indicating the item to be canceled.

Thereafter, in step ST34, the repetition counter A is counted down by "1", and in step ST35, it is determined whether or not the repetition counter A has become "0". If the value is "1" or more, the process returns to ST29, and the processing after ST29 is performed again on the canceled item data. If the repetition counter A is "0" in ST35, it is determined in ST36 whether the next canceled item data exists in the received message. If there is, the process returns to ST28 to acquire the next canceled item data (commodity code, additional code, canceled quantity) in the received message. Then, the cancellation quantity is set as the initial value of the counter A repeatedly. Hereinafter, the processes after ST29 are repeated.

When the above-described processing has been executed for all the canceled item data in the received message, a cooking screen update processing described later is executed, and this processing ends. If no data in which the table number and the product code match the search code is detected in the additional cooking instruction data table 84 in ST33, the process proceeds to ST36 because there is no canceled item.

FIG. 19 shows processing when a function key [input] 74f displayed on the cooking screen 70 is touch-operated, and the CPU 62 sends a touch input position coordinate signal (6, 7) to the touch panel interface 68.
Is detected, the key code KFC6 of the coordinates (6, 7) in the matrix coordinate table 86c is detected.
(Key code of the input key) is obtained, and the input key processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 19 is started.

First, as ST1, the touch input position coordinates indicate whether or not any one of the new cooking instruction area 71 and the additional cooking instruction areas 73a, 73b on the cooking screen 70 was touched immediately before. Signal (6
The determination is made based on the touch input position coordinate signal input to the touch panel interface 68 immediately before 7). And
(1,1)-(6,6) or (7,1), (7,
2) When a touch input position coordinate signal of any of (8, 1) and (8, 2) has been input, a dish item indicated by graphic data in a frame surrounding the touch position is designated. Therefore, if the touch input position coordinate signal is any of (1, 1) to (6, 6) as ST2, the matrix coordinate table 86a is searched and the area of the input coordinate and the page of the cooking screen 70 are displayed. Corresponding cooking instruction data table 8
The address P of No. 3 is acquired, and the section of the cooking instruction data corresponding to the address P is checked. The touch input position coordinate signals are (7, 1), (7, 2), (8, 1), (8,
In either case of 2), the matrix coordinate table 86b is searched to obtain the address Q of the additional cooking instruction data table 84 corresponding to the area of the input coordinates and the page of the cooking screen 70, and Check the category of the corresponding cooking instruction data.

As a result, when the category of the cooking instruction data is “1” or “2”, the completion of cooking of the cooking item corresponding to the cooking instruction data has been designated, and therefore ST3
Is changed to “0”. In step ST4, a cooking completion message shown in FIG. 9D is created using the table number, product code, and supplementary code of the cooking instruction data, and LA
The data is transmitted from the N interface 66 to the order management controller 3 through the LAN line 8.

On the other hand, the category of the cooking instruction data is “3”.
In the case of, since the dish item corresponding to the cooking instruction data has already been canceled and its confirmation has been made, the classification is changed to “0” in ST5. In addition, when the section of the cooking instruction data is “0”, and the matrix coordinate table 8
If the address is not stored in the area corresponding to the input coordinates of 6a or 86b and the page of the cooking screen 70, the designation of the product is invalid, and this processing ends.

After the processing in step ST4 or ST5 is completed, if the cooking instruction data is data corresponding to the address P in step ST6, the cooking instruction data table 83 is searched by the table number of the data and the same. Check the division of table number data. If the cooking instruction data is data corresponding to the address Q, the additional cooking instruction data table 84 is searched to check the division of data having the same table number. As a result, if there is at least one piece of data in which the classification is not “0” in the cooking instruction data of the same table number, one customer has not yet completed cooking of all ordered food items. A cooking screen update process described later is executed, and this process ends.

On the other hand, if the classification of the cooking instruction data of the same table number is all "0", since one customer has completed cooking of all the ordered cooking items, the cooking instruction data is stored in the address P in ST7. If the data corresponds to, delete all data of the same table number from the cooking instruction data table 83,
In addition, the remaining data in the table 83 are sequentially shifted to higher addresses (smaller numerical values), and the counter P is subtracted by the number of deleted data. If the cooking instruction data is data corresponding to the address Q, all data having the same table number is deleted from the additional cooking instruction data table 84, and the remaining data in the table 84 is sequentially stored in the upper address (the smaller address). ), And the counter Q is subtracted by the number of deleted data. afterwards,
A cooking screen update process described later is executed, and this process ends.

FIG. 20 shows a process when the function key [pause] 74d displayed on the cooking screen 70 is touch-operated, and the CPU 62 sends the touch input position coordinate signal (4, 7) to the touch panel interface 68.
Is detected, the key code KFC4 of the coordinates (4, 7) in the matrix coordinate table 86c is detected.
(Key code of the pause key) is obtained, and the input key processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 20 is started.

First, at ST1, the screen of the color display 60 is switched from the cooking screen 70 to the pause screen 90 shown in FIG. 25, and at ST2, the input from the touch panel interface 68 is invalidated, thereby prohibiting the input on the touch panel 61. I do. Next, the timer counter t is set to the initial value "30" in ST3, and the value of the timer counter t is displayed as the remaining time on the pause screen 90 in ST4.

Thereafter, every time one second elapses, the timer counter t is counted down by "1" at step ST5, and the value of the timer counter t is displayed on the pause screen 90 as the remaining time each time. Then, when the count value of the timer counter t reaches "10" in ST6, the buzzer 69 sounds for several seconds. When the count value of the timer counter t reaches "0" in ST7, the input from the touch panel interface 68 is enabled in ST8 to release the input prohibition state of the touch panel 61. Further, the screen of the color display 60 is returned to the cooking screen 70 by executing the cooking screen update processing described later, and this processing ends.

The cooking screen updating process is executed according to the procedure shown in FIG. That is, first, as initialization of the cooking screen editing memory 85, the matrix coordinate area of each frame of the new cooking instruction area 71, the number area of each frame of the table number area 72,
The number area and the matrix coordinate area of each frame of the additional cooking instruction areas 73a and 73b are cleared.

Next, a new cooking instruction area editing process specifically shown in FIG. 22 is started. First, as ST1, the read address counter r, the row counter m, and the column counter n are set to "0", and the page counter g is set to "1". Next, as ST2, the read address counter r is incremented by "1", and then the cooking instruction data at address r is read from the cooking instruction data table 83. Then, in the case of the cooking instruction data at address 1 and when the data of which the table number does not match the cooking instruction data read immediately before is read, ST
As 3, the row counter m is counted up by "1".
The column counter n is set to "1". At this time, if the row counter m exceeds "6", the page counter g is counted up by "1" in ST4, and the row counter m is returned to "1". Thereafter, as ST5, the table number of the cooking instruction data at the address r read from the cooking instruction data table 83 is stored in the table number area [m] in the editing memory 85. In step ST6, the address data r is stored in the matrix coordinate (m, n) area of the g-th page of the matrix coordinate table 86a corresponding to the new cooking instruction area 71.

On the other hand, the cooking instruction data table 83
If the table number of the cooking instruction data at the address r read from the table matches the table number of the cooking instruction data read immediately before,
In ST7, the column counter n is counted up by "1". At this time, if the column counter n exceeds "6", the row counter m is counted up by "1" in ST8, and the column counter n is returned to "1". At this time, if the row counter m exceeds "6", the page counter g is counted up by "1" in ST9, and the row counter m is incremented.
To “1”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to ST6, where the address data r is stored in the matrix coordinate (m, n) area of the g page of the matrix coordinate table 86a corresponding to the new cooking instruction area 71.

Thereafter, as ST10, the cooking instruction image creation process specifically shown in FIG. 24 is started. That is, the graphic data corresponding to the product code of the cooking instruction data at the address r read from the cooking instruction data table 83 is read from the graphic data table 81, and the matrix coordinate area (m, n) on page g in the cooking screen editing memory 85 is read. ). Next, the additional code of the cooking instruction data at the address r is checked. If the supplementary code is "00", the food item has no supplementary information, and the process proceeds to ST91.

When the supplementary code is not "00", the supplementary mark corresponding to the supplementary code is read from the supplementary mark table 82 and stored in the same matrix coordinate area (m, n) of the cooking screen editing memory 85. . Next, it is determined whether or not the supplementary code is “02”. When the supplementary code is "02", the supplementary information "late delivery" is designated, and the order time of the cooking instruction data at the address r is delayed by a predetermined time T (for example, 10 minutes). If the supplementary code is other than “02”, the order time is left as it is. Thereafter, the process proceeds to ST91.

In ST91, the waiting time X is calculated from the difference between the current time measured by the clock unit 65 and the order time of the cooking completion data at address r. Then, the waiting time X is shorter than the first set time X1 (for example, 10 minutes) or is equal to or longer than the first set time X1 and the second set time X2 (for example, 20 minutes).
Minutes) or longer than the second set time X2. If the time is equal to or longer than the first set time X1 and shorter than the second set time X2, a predetermined attention mark is stored in the same matrix coordinate area (m, n) of the cooking screen editing memory 85. When the time is equal to or longer than the second set time X2, a predetermined warning mark is stored in the same matrix coordinate area (m, n) of the cooking screen editing memory 85.

Thereafter, the division of the cooking completion data at address r is checked. When the classification is “2” (additional item), a predetermined additional mark (for example, “add”) is stored in the same matrix coordinate area of the cooking screen editing memory 85, and when the classification is “3” (cancellation item). Stores a cancellation mark (for example, "Erase"), and if "0" (cooked), stores a cooking completion mark (for example, "X").

When the cooking instruction image creating process is completed, the process returns to ST2 in FIG. 22, and the read address counter r is incremented by "1". Then, the cooking instruction data at address r is read from the cooking instruction data table 83. Read and repeat the same process. In this way, the same process is repeatedly executed each time the cooking instruction data at the address r is read from the cooking instruction data table 83. If the cooking instruction data no longer exists at the address r, the new cooking instruction area editing process is terminated. I do.

In the cooking screen updating process, when the new cooking instruction area editing process is completed, an additional cooking instruction area editing process specifically shown in FIG. 23 is started. First, as ST1, the read address counter r and the column counter n are set to “0”, the row counter m is set to “6”,
The page counter g is set to "1". Next, after reading address counter r is incremented by "1" in ST2, the cooking instruction data at address r is read from additional cooking instruction data table 84. Then, in the case of the cooking instruction data at address 1 and in the case of reading data in which the table number does not match the cooking instruction data read immediately before, the row counter m is counted up by "1" in ST3, and the column counter n
Is set to “1”. At this time, the row counter m is "8".
Is exceeded, the page counter g is set to "1" in ST4.
And the row counter m is returned to “7”.
Thereafter, as ST5, the additional cooking instruction data table 8
The table number of the cooking instruction data at the address r read from address No. 4 is stored in the table number area [m] in the editing memory 85. In step ST6, the address data r is stored in the matrix coordinate (m, n) area of the g-th page of the matrix coordinate table 86b corresponding to the additional cooking instruction area 72.

On the other hand, when the table number of the cooking instruction data at the address r read from the additional cooking instruction data table 84 matches the table number of the cooking instruction data read immediately before, the column counter n is set to "ST7". Count up by 1 ". At this time, if the column counter n exceeds "2", the row counter m is counted up by "1" in ST8, and the column counter n is returned to "1". At this time,
If the row counter m exceeds "8", the page counter g is counted up by "1" in ST9, and the row counter m is returned to "7". Thereafter, the process proceeds to ST6, where the address data r is stored in the matrix coordinate (m, n) area of the g page of the matrix coordinate table 86b corresponding to the additional cooking instruction area 72.

Thereafter, as ST10, the same processing as the above-described cooking instruction image creation processing is performed.
The process is executed with respect to the cooking instruction data at address r read from step No. 4. However, even when the category of the cooking instruction data is “2”, the additional mark “Add” is not stored. When the cooking instruction image creation processing is completed, the process returns to ST2 in FIG. 23, and after the read address counter r is counted up by "1", the cooking instruction data of the address r is read from the additional cooking instruction data table 84 and the same. Is repeated. In this way, each time the cooking instruction data at the address r is read from the additional cooking instruction data table 84, the same processing is repeatedly executed. When the cooking instruction data no longer exists at the address r, the additional cooking instruction area editing processing is performed. finish.

In the cooking screen updating process shown in FIG.
When the additional cooking instruction area editing process is completed,
The color display 6 based on the data stored in the first page area 85a of the cooking screen editing memory 85, respectively.
At 0, the first page image of the cooking screen 70 is displayed. In addition, in the case of the cooking screen updating process after receiving the cooking instruction data, the buzzer 69 is sounded for a certain period of time to notify that a food item has been ordered. Thus, the cooking screen updating process ends.

As described above, in the order management system of the present embodiment, when the order data of the food item ordered by the new customer is input from the handy terminal 1 together with the table number of the customer, the product order data ( A new cooking instruction message including a product code, an accessory code, an order quantity, an order time) and a table number is transmitted from the order management controller 3 to the display device 6 for the kitchen. In the display device 6 for the kitchen,
Cooking instruction data (table number,
The product code, the supplementary code, the order time, and the section) are stored in the cooking instruction data table 83 in the order in which the order is received. Here, when a plurality of the same items are ordered, the same cooking instruction data is stored in the cooking instruction data table 83 by the quantity. Thereafter, a cooking screen update process is executed.

Thus, the cooking instruction data table 83
The cooking instruction data stored in the cooking instruction data is sequentially read from address 1 and stored in the matrix coordinate areas (1, 1) to (6, 6) of the first page area 85a in the cooking screen editing memory 85. Graphic data corresponding to the product code and additional marks corresponding to the additional codes are sequentially stored. When the elapsed time from the order time is X1 minutes or more and less than X2 minutes, a caution mark is stored, and when the elapsed time exceeds X2 minutes, a warning mark is stored. In this case,
Each time the table number of the cooking instruction data is different, the row of the matrix coordinate area is updated.

Similarly, the additional cooking instruction data stored in the additional cooking instruction data table 84 is sequentially read out from address 1, and the matrix coordinate area (7, 7) of the first page area 85a in the cooking screen editing memory 85 is read. 1) to (8,
In 2), the graphic data corresponding to the product code and the accessory mark corresponding to the accessory code in the additional cooking instruction data are sequentially stored. When the elapsed time from the order time is X1 minutes or more and less than X2 minutes, a caution mark is stored, and when the elapsed time exceeds X2 minutes, a warning mark is stored.
In this case, each time the table number of the cooking instruction data is different, the row of the matrix coordinate area is updated.

Thereafter, the cooking screen editing memory 85 is prepared.
The cooking screen 70 is edited based on the stored content of the first page area 85a in the above, and is displayed on the color display 60. As a result, the new cooking instruction area 7 on the cooking screen 70 is displayed.
1, the graphic data representing the food item ordered by the customer this time is added in the order of receiving the order. When additional information such as advance delivery, later delivery, and take-out is added to the dish, a mark indicating the additional information is displayed in a frame surrounding the graphic data of the dish. At this time,
The buzzer 69 sounds for a certain period of time to notify that an order for a food item has been made. For example, in the state where the cooking screen 70 shown in FIG. 12A is displayed, a new customer who arrives at the table number A1 orders two food items “soy sauce ramen” and two food items “gyoza”. If it is assumed that one “gyoza” is taken home, the table number A1 is displayed on the fifth line of the table number area 72 and the fourth column from the fifth line and the first column of the new cooking instruction area 71. Two pieces of graphic data of the food items “soy sauce ramen” and “gyoza” are displayed on the eyes. Then, the mark “TO” of the accompanying information “take-out” is displayed on one of the graphic data of “gyoza”.

When the order data of the food item additionally ordered by the customer is input from the handy terminal 1 together with the customer's table number and the like, the additional order data (product code, supplementary code, additional quantity, order time) and the table are displayed. An additional cooking instruction message including a number and the like is transmitted from the order management controller 3 to the kitchen display device 6.

In the kitchen display device 6, processing is different depending on whether cooking of a dish item ordered by the same customer first is completed or not completed. In other words, when the cooking is not completed, the cooking instruction data of the customer's table number remains in the cooking instruction data table 83, and the cooking instruction data (table number, product code, additional (Code, order time, division) are added after the last data of the same table number. Thereafter, a cooking screen update process is executed. As a result, it acts in the same way as above,
Graphic data representing the additionally ordered food item is added to the last row of the same table number in the new cooking instruction area 71, and the buzzer 69 sounds for a certain period of time to notify that the food item has been ordered. . For example, when the cooking screen 70 shown in FIG.
If the customer has ordered one additional dish item “Anmitsu”, the new cooking instruction area 71 corresponding to table number A2
The graphic data of the food item "Anmitsu" is displayed in the second row and the second column together with the additional mark "Oi".

On the other hand, when the cooking of the food item ordered by the same customer is completed, the cooking instruction data (table number, product code) of the additionally ordered cooking item is stored in the additional cooking instruction data table 84. , Supplementary code, order time, classification) are added. Thereafter, a cooking screen update process is executed. As a result, the graphic data representing the dish item additionally ordered by the customer is stored in the additional cooking instruction areas 73a and 73b.
Is displayed, and the buzzer 69 sounds for a certain period of time to notify that an order for a food item has been made. For example, FIG.
In the state where the cooking screen 70 shown in (a) is displayed, assuming that the customer with the table number A3 orders one additional food item “Anmitsu”, the table number A3 and the food item “Anmitsu” are added to the additional cooking instruction area 73b. Is displayed.

When a cancellation of a product already ordered is instructed from the handy terminal 1, a cooking cancellation instruction message including the canceled product data (product code, supplementary code, cancellation quantity) and a table number is sent to the order management controller. 3 to the display device 6 for the kitchen. In the kitchen display device 6, the cooking instruction data table 83 and the additional cooking instruction data table 84 are searched, and the category of the cooking instruction data corresponding to the canceled product is changed to “3”. Thereafter, a cooking screen update process is executed. Thereby, the cooking screen 70
A cancellation mark “OFF” is displayed in the frame of the graphic data of the product displayed in the item (1).

When additional information “urgent order” is added to the order data of the food item input from the handy terminal 1, the product order data (product code, additional code “04”, order quantity, order time) of the food item is added. ) And a new cooking instruction message including a table number or the like is transmitted from the order management controller 3 to the kitchen display device 6.

In the kitchen display device 6, the cooking instruction data (table number, product code, supplementary code, order time, section) of the cooking item is inserted into the head area (address 1) of the cooking instruction data table 83. Is stored. Thereafter, a cooking screen update process is executed. As a result, on the first line of the new cooking instruction area 71 in the cooking screen 70, the graphic data of the urgently ordered food item is displayed in an interrupted manner together with the table number. For example, in the state where the cooking screen 70 shown in FIG. 12A is displayed, when one dish item “Miso Ramen” ordered by the customer of the table number B21 is input as an urgent order, FIG. Until then, as shown in
The graphic data of each food item displayed from the fourth line to the fourth line is shifted from the second line to the fifth line, respectively, and the graphic data of the food item "Miso Ramen" is displayed together with the table number B2 on the first line. You. At this time, the buzzer 69 sounds for a certain period of time to notify that the food item has been ordered.

On the other hand, the cook sees the graphic data on the cooking screen 70 displayed on the color display 60 of the kitchen display device 6, grasps the contents of the customer's order, and cooks.
Every time the cooking of the food item is completed, the graphic data of the food item is touched and the function key "input" 74f is touched to give a cooking completion instruction.

Then, the cooking instruction data table 83
Alternatively, the classification of the cooking instruction data of the corresponding cooking item stored in the additional cooking instruction data table 84 is changed to “0”. Further, a cooking completion message is transmitted from the kitchen display device 6 to the order management controller 3, and a serving instruction sheet is issued from the printing device 5. Further, when the cooking of the cooking item ordered by the same customer is completed by the current cooking completion instruction operation, the cooking instruction data of the same customer stored in the cooking instruction data table 83 or the additional cooking instruction data table 84 ( The section “0”) is cleared, and the cooking instruction data of the other customers remaining in the tables 83 and 84 is shifted to the higher address. Thereafter, a cooking screen update process is executed.

As a result, when the cooking of the other food item ordered by the same customer is not completed, the cooking completion mark “×” is superimposed on the graphic data of the cooking item for which the cooking completion input has been performed. . On the other hand, when the cooking of the food item ordered by the same customer is completed, the table number of the customer and the corresponding graphic data are cleared, and the table number and the graphic data displayed below are sequentially moved upward. Is shifted to
For example, when the cooking screen 70 shown in FIG. 12A is displayed, cooking of the cooking item “Miso ramen” is completed,
When the graphic data “Miso ramen” in the frame of one row and two columns in the new cooking instruction area 71 is touched and the function key “input” 74f is touched,
The cooking completion mark "x" is displayed so as to be superimposed on the graphic data "Miso ramen" in the frame of one row and two columns. On the other hand, FIG.
In the state where the cooking screen 70 shown in FIG. 2B is displayed, the cooking of the cooking item “Miso ramen” is completed, and the graphic data “Miso ramen” in the frame of one row and one column in the new cooking instruction area 71 is displayed. When the touch operation and the function key “input” 74f are touched, the display of the graphic data and the table number B2 is cleared, and the screen is switched to the cooking screen 70 shown in FIG.

As described above, in the kitchen display device 6 according to the present embodiment, the cooking screen 70 of the color display 60 is divided into the new cooking instruction area 71 and the additional cooking instruction areas 73a and 73b. The graphic data representing the food item ordered by the new customer is displayed in the new cooking instruction area 71 in the order in which the order has been received, and the graphic data representing the food item ordered by the customer who has already ordered is ordered by the customer first. If the graphic data of the cooking item is displayed in the new cooking instruction area 71, the graphic data is displayed after the graphic data. If the graphic data is not displayed in the new cooking instruction area 71, the graphic data is displayed in the additional cooking instruction areas 73a and 73b. Like that.

Therefore, when the graphic data representing the food item is not displayed in the additional cooking instruction areas 73a and 73b, the cook sequentially cooks the food items of the graphic data sequentially displayed in the new cooking instruction area 71. And
If graphic data representing a dish is displayed in the additional cooking instruction areas 73a and 73b, the dish may be cooked with priority. By doing so, for an additional order of a customer who has not completed the serving, it is possible to serve the item of the additional order after serving the food item ordered first, and to finish eating and drinking while completing the serving. For the additional order of the customer, the items of the additional order can be delivered earlier.

The graphic data representing the urgently ordered food item is displayed at the beginning of the new cooking instruction area 71 by interruption. Therefore, for example, a customer who places an additional order after finishing eating and drinking is processed as an urgent order, so that the ordered food item is cooked with the highest priority.
