The order processing apparatus is characterized in that the product registration is performed without performing the manufacturing instruction.

  In the aspect of the present invention described above, when the order data is input, if the corresponding product is a product to be manufactured after the order is input, the preset key is operated in advance. In the case of a pre-made product, the scanner is operated.

  The present invention is characterized in that, in the above aspect of the invention, the product is a lunch box, and the product data recorded so as to be readable by the scanner is provided directly or in the vicinity of the prepared product.

  According to the order processing apparatus, it is possible to input an order for a product to be manufactured after receiving an order and a product that does not require a manufacturing instruction, for example, a prepared product without changing the setting data. In addition, in the case of a product that does not require a manufacturing instruction, the scanner can be operated with respect to a product that actually exists, so that operation errors can be reduced.

  The present invention is characterized in that, in the above aspect of the invention, after all orders input by one customer are completed, it is determined whether or not there is a product awaiting manufacture, and if it is present, a voucher is issued.

  According to the order processing apparatus, it is possible to not issue a voucher for a customer who has no orders for commodities that need to wait for completion of manufacture.

  In the aspect of the present invention, the present invention is characterized in that the printing means for issuing a receipt issues a manufacturing instruction slip and a product voucher.

  First, the clerk C1 of the sales floor 10 listens to an order from the customer CUS, and when a bento that is the order is prepared, the bar code BAR of the bento (see FIG. 7) 45 is used as the scanner unit 38. The order is input by reading at step S1 or if the order is not prepared, the order is input by operating the corresponding preset key displayed together with the product name on the touch panel display 34 of the order processing device 30 (step S1). ). The read lunches are placed apart so that they can be distinguished.

  Next, in the first order, a new transaction number is generated, and the product code and the number are written in the order table 332. Moreover, it adds to the sales total amount not shown (step S2).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the order input is an input from the scanner unit 38 (step S3). If the order input is from the scanner unit 38 (step S3: YES), the corresponding product in the order table 332 is displayed. For example, “1” is written in the item of the scanner input (step S4). On the other hand, if the order is not input from the scanner unit 38 (step S3: NO), “0” is written in the item of scanner input, and the process proceeds to step S5.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a cash key that is a closing key that is operated when all order inputs are completed (step S5), and when the cash key that is a closing key is not operated. (Step S5: NO), the processing returns to Step S1, and the above-described processing (Step S1 to Step S4) is repeated. On the other hand, when the cash key that is the closing key is operated (step S5: YES), change is calculated and displayed from the deposit and the total sales amount, the drawer unit 39 is opened, and the settlement process is performed. (Step S6).

  Next, the printing unit 37 prints and issues a receipt 50 as shown in FIG. 8 (step S7). Here, “Thank you every time. ○ × Bento △△ Store” is the header of the printed content, the portion of the paper located between the cutter position and the print head, and the paper cut in the above printing It is printed immediately before.

  Next, it is determined whether or not there is a product awaiting cooking during the transaction, that is, whether or not there is at least one item in the order table 332 whose scanner input item is not “1” (step S8). . If there is no item in the order table 332 where the item of the scanner input is not “1” (all are “1”) (step S8: NO), the process ends. In the case of the end, the store clerk C1 delivers the prepared lunch box, the change and the receipt 50 to the customer CUS.

  On the other hand, if there is at least one corresponding product in the order table 332 where the item of the scanner input is not “1” (step S8: YES), the printing unit 37 uses the corresponding product code in the order table 332. 9 is printed and issued on a sheet of paper, and a cooking instruction slip 70 as shown in FIG. 10 is printed based on a product code whose corresponding scanner input in the order table 332 is not “1”. Is issued (step S9).

  The store clerk C1 of the sales floor 10 places the cooking instruction slip 70 at a predetermined position on the table 13 so as to hand it over to the store clerk C2 of the kitchen 20, and hands the change, the receipt 50, and the voucher 60 to the customer CUS. When cooking is finished and a lunch box is placed on the table 13, the store clerk C1 of the sales floor 10 takes it to the counter stand 12, receives the voucher 60 from the customer CUS, is written on the voucher 60, and is distinguished. Passed to customer CUS along with the made lunch box.

  According to the present embodiment, it is possible to input an order for a product to be manufactured after receiving an order and a manufacturing instruction, for example, a prepared product without changing the setting data. In the case of unnecessary merchandise, the scanner unit 38 can be operated for merchandise that actually exists, so that operational errors can be reduced.

  Note that the cooking instruction is not limited to issuing a slip from the order processing device 30 of the sales floor 10, but may be a display or printing device provided in the kitchen 20 and transmitted from the order processing device 30 and output. . Furthermore, it is good also as a system which provided the management server and connected the order input device and the kitchen terminal to the network.

  Alternatively, a sheet on which barcodes for various products are printed may be prepared and provided near the product so that the scanner can be input while confirming the presence of the product when inputting an order.

  In addition, the scanner unit 38 is not limited to reading a barcode, but may be any machine-readable recording method such as a two-dimensional code or a 3D code.

  Further, when the scanner input is performed, not only the presence / absence of the scanner input is stored for each product code, but also exchange data or print data of the cooking instruction slip may be created. In this case, the presence / absence determination of the ready-to-cook product after payment may be determined based on the presence / absence of the print data.

  Also, if it is the last printed matter in one transaction, the header of the receipt for the next transaction is printed and then the paper is cut. If it is not the last printed matter, the next printed matter is printed. If the sheet is cut at the cut position after the start, it is not necessary to print the header portion on the voucher or slip.

  Moreover, the present invention can be applied to any store where products that require cooking instructions and products that do not need to be mixed are not limited to bento stores.
