Description

  The present invention relates to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that performs accounting processing based on items ordered at restaurants and the like.

In recent years, traffic accidents caused by drunk driving have been taken up as social problems. Among drunk driving, those who drive large vehicles such as trucks and buses as business are particularly likely to lead to major traffic accidents. For this reason, various methods have been proposed, such as taking measures to lock the car key and not start the engine when alcohol is detected from the driver's exhalation. There are problems such as being able to avoid the problem and making the system too complicated. In order to solve the above problem, a system provided with a means for easily identifying the person has been devised. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
JP 2004-164197 A

  In the business management system described in Patent Document 1, a method for identifying an individual by using an identification card, a voice identification device, or an iris identification device issued for each crew member and preventing impersonation of the individual has been proposed.

  However, such measures can be taken by supervisors etc. for drunk driving of drivers as a business, but the same applies to drunk driving of general drivers who drive vehicles under their own responsibility. This measure is not suitable.

  If this problem is caught from the side of the alcohol provider, in the first place, it is possible to predict that the customer is likely to perform drunk driving at restaurants that provide alcohol in the first place. If there are many traffic accidents caused by drunk driving, there is a possibility of harming the store image.

  The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that prevents drunk driving and improves the image of a store, and has an advertising effect.

  The merchandise sales data processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a print data creating means for creating print data based on the contents of the accounting process performed for the payment, and a receipt for printing the print data created by the print data creating means. A product sales data processing apparatus, further comprising alcohol concentration measuring means for measuring the concentration of alcohol contained in the exhaled breath of the subject, wherein the print data creating means is configured to measure the alcohol concentration. The print data is created based on the measurement result by the means and the contents of the accounting process.

  According to the present invention in which such measures are taken, it is possible to provide a merchandise sales data processing device that prevents drunk driving and improves the image of the store, thereby providing an advertising effect.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
This embodiment is a case where the merchandise sales data processing apparatus according to the present invention is used for an order management system in a post-payment type restaurant.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the order management system in the present embodiment. This order management system has a plurality of order entry terminals (OET) 1. Each order entry terminal 1 is a small terminal that can be carried by a clerk in charge of customer service, and is used for inputting order data of a food and drink menu ordered by a customer. The order entry terminal 1 has a built-in radio circuit so that data communication can be performed with the radio unit 2 connected to the station 3 using radio. The radio unit 2 is attached to, for example, the ceiling of the passenger seat so as to relay data transmission between the station 3 placed in the office of the store or the like and each order entry terminal 1 used mainly in the passenger seat. ing.

  The station 3 is a computer device that centrally manages everything from customer orders to cooking and accounting, and functions as an order management device of this system. A kitchen terminal 5, a slip issuing machine 6 and a POS terminal 7 are connected to the station 3 via a communication line 4 such as a LAN.

  The kitchen terminal 5 is used to output a cooking instruction for a food / drink menu ordered by a customer to a person in charge of cooking in the kitchen by output means such as printing, display, and voice. The voucher issuing machine 6 issues an order voucher on which order detail data such as the item name, price, total number of items, total amount, etc. of the food / drink menu ordered by the customer is printed for each customer. Each order slip is printed with a unique slip number. The POS terminal 7 is a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that performs accounting processing for payment for a food and drink menu ordered by a customer, and functions as a settlement apparatus of this system. The POS terminal 7 is connected to an alcohol (ALC) detector 8 that detects the concentration of alcohol contained in exhaled breath.

A menu file F1 and an order file F2 are formed in a nonvolatile storage unit such as a hard disk of the station 3.
The menu file F1 stores information related to each food / beverage menu item, and is, for example, a table configured as shown in FIG.

  The menu file F1 stores an item name, a unit price, and an alcohol flag indicating whether or not the food / beverage menu is alcohol for a menu code for specifying each food / beverage menu. Here, it is assumed that items whose alcohol flag is “0” are not alcohols, and items whose “1” is “1” are alcohols.

  The order file F2 stores order data of food and drink menus input via the order entry terminal 1 sequentially. FIG. 3 shows the data structure of one record stored in the order file F2. As shown in the figure, the record stored in the order file F2 is one consisting of slip number, table number, number of persons and orderer code, order code menu code, unit price, alcohol flag, score, amount, etc. It consists of the above order data and each data of total score, total amount, and order time.

  The slip number is an identification number of an order slip issued to one unit (one person or one group) of customers. The table number is an identification number of the table (table) that the customer is wearing. In addition, when the customer is a group customer and arrives in a plurality of tables, the number of one representative table is used.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the POS terminal 7. The POS terminal 7 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 as a control unit main body. Also, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12 in which fixed data such as a program is stored, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13 in which various memory areas for storing various data in a rewritable manner, a current date and The clock unit 14 that measures time, the communication interface (I / F) 15 that controls data communication with the station 3 connected via the communication line 4, and the I / F that outputs an open command signal to the drawer 16 A keyboard controller 19 that captures key signals corresponding to operation keys from the O port 17, the keyboard 18, a display controller 21 that controls the screen display of the operator display 20, and a display controller 23 that controls the screen display of the customer display 22 , A printer controller 25 for controlling the receipt / journal printer 24 and a signal from the alcohol tester 8. And a alcohol tester controller 26 or the like for taking in. The CPU 11, the ROM 12, the RAM 13, the clock unit 14, the communication interface 15, the I / O port 17, the keyboard controller 19, the display controller 21, the display controller 23, the printer controller 25, and the alcohol tester controller 26 are connected to an address bus and data. It is configured to be connected by a bus line 27 such as a bus.

  The keyboard 18 is provided with various function keys such as a multiplication key, a clear key, a current key, a confirmation key, a cancel key, and a previous cancel key, in addition to numeric keys for inputting numerical values. The operator display 20 displays processing contents and the like to the operator of the POS terminal. The customer display 22 displays an accounting amount and the like to a customer who performs accounting processing. The receipt / journal printer 24 prints accounting information and the like on a receipt sheet and issues a receipt.

  When the slip number printed on the order slip is input from the keyboard 18 and the accounting process is started, the order data stored in the order file F2 of the station 3 corresponds to the slip number in the RAM 13 of the POS terminal 7. Downloaded.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the accounting process executed by the CPU 11 of the POS terminal 7 at this time.
First, the CPU 11 checks the alcohol flag of the order data recorded in the order file F2 downloaded to the RAM 13 as ST1 (item determination means). If even one of the checked alcohol flags is “1”, it is determined that the order data includes an order for alcohols (Yes in ST2), and the CPU 11 performs an alcohol test on the displays 20 and 22 as ST3. A message (for example, “please carry out alcohol test”) indicating that implementation is necessary is displayed (informing means).

  When the operator of the POS terminal 7 measures the alcohol concentration in the customer's breath using the alcohol tester 8, the test result is input to the POS terminal 7 (alcohol testing means). The CPU 11 determines the presence or absence of this input as ST4 (determination means). When it is determined that an input has been made (Yes in ST4), the inspection result is stored in the RAM 13 as ST5.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 displays the subtotal amount on the display devices 20 and 22 as ST6, and waits for the input of the deposit amount from the numerical keys provided on the keyboard 18 and the pressing of the closing key as ST7. After detecting the pressing of the tightening key (YES in ST7), the CPU 11 performs a settlement process as ST8.

  Here, different receipt print data is created depending on whether or not an alcohol test (ST4 process) has been performed. That is, the CPU 11 determines whether or not an alcohol test is performed in ST9. When the alcohol test is not performed (No in ST9), the CPU 11 creates normal receipt print data based on the contents of the accounting process in ST10. When the alcohol test is performed (Yes in ST9), the alcohol test result stored in the RAM 13 in ST5 is referred to as ST11, and receipt print data including the alcohol test result is created. Thereafter, the receipt / journal printer 24 is driven via the printer controller 25 in ST12, and the receipt print data created in the process of ST10 or ST11 is printed on a receipt sheet and issued. Further, along with this processing, the drawer 16 is opened via the I / O port 17 as ST13.

FIG. 6 is an example of a receipt R1 that is printed and issued when an alcohol test is not performed.
Receipt R1 is based on the receipt print data created in the process of ST10, various messages, date, current time, order menu item name, points, price, total points, subtotal amount, consumption tax amount, total amount, The amount deposited from the customer, the amount of change, and the name of the person in charge of this accounting process are printed.

FIG. 7 is an example of a receipt R2 that is printed and issued when an alcohol test is performed.
The receipt R2 is printed with the result of the alcohol test in addition to the information printed on the receipt R1, based on the receipt print data created in the process of ST11. Here, before the receipt print data is created, the customer's name is entered in advance from the keyboard 18 and stored in the RAM 13, and is used as an “XX-like alcohol test result” (XX is the customer's name). The result of the test is printed as “exhaled alcohol concentration X.XXmg / L” (X.XXmg / L is the result of the alcohol test). Further, when the detected alcohol concentration has reached a level at which the vehicle cannot be driven, it is indicated that the vehicle cannot be driven. The determination as to whether or not the vehicle can be operated is made by, for example, recording in advance the alcohol concentration serving as a reference value for whether or not the vehicle can be driven in the ROM 12 and comparing it with the measured value. That is, the CPU 11 compares the measured value with the reference value, and determines that the operation is impossible when the measured value exceeds the reference value.

In addition, since it is possible to assume that the customer can not grasp the amount of alcohol drinking by simply displaying the alcohol concentration, the alcohol concentration can be determined by a comparative display such as “the amount of alcohol consumed is equivalent to X bottles of beer” Recognize accurately.
Thus, since the POS terminal 7 according to the present embodiment cannot complete the accounting process when the order data includes an alcohol order without performing the alcohol test, the customer's alcohol test can be surely performed. Can do. And, by printing the inspection result and whether the car can be driven or not on the receipt, the customer can be warned, and drunk driving can be prevented, and efforts to prevent drunk driving in the store can be appealed, so the store image can be improved Can do. In addition, it can be expected that this initiative will have an advertising effect on the store.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage.

  For example, in restaurants, customers are group customers composed of a plurality of people, and accounting is often performed together. In that case, for example, the accounting process cannot be completed unless all group customers are subjected to an alcohol test, and the names of all the members and the alcohol test result may be printed on the receipt R2. Alternatively, a receipt R2 is issued individually, and an inspection result for each person is printed on each.

  Further, the receipt print data created by the process of ST10 or ST11 may be stored and managed in a nonvolatile storage unit such as a hard disk of the station 3 even after the accounting process.

  In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from the components shown in the embodiment. Furthermore, you may combine the component covering different embodiment.
