Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a food and drink container used in a food and drink transport device that transports food and drink such as sushi on a transport path so that food and drink can be taken out from the transport path and eaten appropriately. .

In recent years, in a store where a transport device having a transport path that circulates along a table in the store is installed, a cook puts and holds the sushi material on a shari ball in a kitchen room and places the finished sushi on a plate. In addition, it is transferred to the transport path of the transport device, and sequentially transported to each table in the guest room by this transport path, while the customer can use the transport device according to their preference for multiple types of sushi that are sequentially sent by the transport device. We take out and eat appropriately. (See Patent Document 1)
By the way, in the above stores, sushi and the like whose prices vary depending on the type of material may be provided together.

  That is, for example, a 100-yen product, a 200-yen product, and a 300-yen product are mixedly provided on the conveyance path. In this case, a method for determining which price the customer ate In the past, we prepared dishes with different colors and patterns for each price, counted the number of empty dishes after meals according to their color or pattern, and multiplied the price of food for each number of dishes. The amount of money is calculated.

  However, in the above calculation method, as described above, first, the dishes are sorted by color or pattern, the number of sorted dishes is counted for each color or pattern, and the price of food on each dish is multiplied. The amount of money must be calculated, and it takes time to calculate. In particular, when the store is crowded, there is a problem that it is easy to make a mistake in calculation.

  On the other hand, for the above problems, one dish is set at 100 yen, and in the case of 100 yen goods, the food is placed on one dish. In addition, for 300 yen food, a method has been proposed in which food is placed on a three-layered dish and fed onto the conveyance path.

However, when the above method is used, the customer may accidentally remove only the top dish on which food is placed from the transport path and leave the bottom dish on the transport path. In this case, there is a problem that it is impossible to calculate an accurate fee eaten by the customer.

  The number display of the display 52 is reset to “0” when the door 27 is opened.

  In the transfer device 3 having the above-described configuration, the sushi T placed on the food and beverage storage tray 6 described later by the employee in the kitchen room S1 is sequentially placed on the flat chain 31 that moves on the front surface of the kitchen room S1, and this It is circulated and conveyed to the tables 1a and 1b in the guest room S2 via the flat chain 31, and customers of each table take out the food and drink storage dish 6 on which the favorite sushi T is served from the flat chain 31 as appropriate. The sushi T on the plate 6 is eaten.

  The food / beverage storage tray 6 of the present invention is used on the flat chain 31 described above. Next, the food / beverage storage tray 6 will be described in detail.

  The food and drink storage dish 6 shown in FIGS. 1 to 2 is composed of a dish body 7 for placing the sushi T and a dummy dish member 8 that can be placed on a dish plate 71 of the dish body 7. The main body 7 and the dummy dish member 8 are made of a synthetic resin material.

  As is well known, the dish body 7 includes a dish plate 71 having a circular shape in plan view, and a cylindrical plateau 72 protruding from the lower surface of the dish body 71.

  The dummy plate member 8 is formed in the same shape and thickness as the plate plate 71 of the plate body 7, and in the center thereof, the plan view through which the sushi T placed on the plate body 7 can pass. A circular through hole 81 is provided to form a ring shape.

  Moreover, the food-drink storage tray 6 shown in FIGS. 3-5 adds the following structure with respect to the food-dish storage tray 6 shown in FIGS. 1-2.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of tables in which the numbers of the tables installed in the store (numbers 1 to 12 in the embodiment) are posted on the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the plate 71 in the plate body 7. A number posting part 73 is printed.

  The dummy plate member 8 is provided with a display window 82a as a table number display portion 82 for selectively displaying one of the table number posting portions 73.

  Moreover, the food-drink storage tray 6 shown in FIGS. 6-7 adds the following structure further with respect to the food-dish storage tray 6 shown in FIGS. 1-2.

  That is, a plurality of time posting parts 74 for posting time are printed on the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the dish plate 71 in the dish body 7, and one of the time posting parts 74 is selected for the dummy dish member 8. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the ring is divided into four so that one hour can be shown every 15 minutes. The time posting parts 74 are printed in different colors.

  The plate body 7 and the dummy plate member 8 described above are sized or shaped so that they cannot pass through the insertion port 28 unless they are one by one.

  Next, the usage example of the food-drink container tray 6 which consists of the above structure is shown.

  First, when 100 yen sushi is provided, only the plate body 7 is used, and 100 yen sushi T is served on the plate 71 of the plate body 7, and 200 yen sushi is provided. When serving 200 yen of sushi T on the plate 71 of the plate body 7 and placing one dummy plate member 8 on the plate 71 of the plate body 7 to provide 300 yen of sushi, The 300-yen sushi T is placed on the plate 71 of the plate main body 7, and two dummy plate members 8 are stacked on the plate 71 of the plate main body 7 and then transported by the flat chain 31.

  The customers of each table take out the food and drink storage dish 6 on which the favorite sushi T is served from the flat chain 31 and eat the sushi T on the dish 6, for example 200 yen or 300 yen. When the sushi is eaten, the sushi T comes out of the through-hole 81 of the dummy plate member 8 even if only the dummy plate member 8 is lifted and the sushi T is taken out. As a result, when 200 yen or 300 yen sushi is eaten, the dish body 7 is taken out from the flat chain 31 together with the dummy dish member 8 and eaten.

  Therefore, even when eating a plurality of foods and drinks with different prices, the amount of sushi eaten can be calculated easily and reliably by simply counting the total number of the plate body 7 and the dummy plate member 8 after eating. Prepare dishes with different colors and patterns for each price, count the number of empty dishes after meals by color or pattern, and multiply the price of food for each number of dishes to calculate the total price Compared to the case, the calculation does not require time and mistakes are reduced.

  In the food and drink conveying apparatus 3 shown in the figure, the plate body 7 and the dummy plate member 8 are sequentially inserted into the insertion port 28, so that the number of sheets is counted by the limit switch 51 and is inserted into the insertion port 28. The number of inserted tray bodies 7 and dummy dish members 8 is automatically displayed on the display 52.

  3 to 5, for example, when 200 yen or 300 yen sushi is ordered from the table No. 10, as shown in FIG. 5, the number of the table where the order is placed. Can be displayed from the display window 82a of the dummy dish member 8 to indicate to the customer of each table that the item is an order from the table No. 10.

  In addition, in the food and beverage container 6 shown in FIGS. 6 to 7, when sending 200 yen or 300 yen sushi T onto the flat chain 31, the four time posting parts 74 are arranged in accordance with the manufacturing time of the sushi T. By displaying the predetermined time posting part 74 from the display hole 83a, it is possible to know the approximate time when the sushi T is manufactured and the approximate elapsed time from the manufacturing time.

  In each of the above embodiments, a magnet is attached to the dish body 7 and the dummy dish member 8, and the dummy dish member 8 is attracted to the dish body 7 via the magnet so that the dummy is placed on the dish body 7. The dish member 8 may be prevented from moving unintentionally.

  In the above embodiment, although this invention was applied to the food-dish-containing dish 6 which serves sushi T, it is not limited to this, For example, you may apply this invention to the plate 6 which mounts sashimi and a cake.
