JP6612382B2 - Reservation system, reservation program, and reservation method - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a reservation system, a reservation program, and a reservation method for reserving a store such as a restaurant.

  Conventionally, products and services are provided at various stores. For example, in a restaurant, an order for an appropriate food and drink is received, and a fee is calculated and settled. As a system related to such settlement, an ordering / charge information management system has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). In this system, the order information is displayed on the touch panel 5 and simultaneously stored in the storage device 10 of the IC card 9. The information is wirelessly sent to the kitchen system 11 and a cooking instruction is issued. Brings the IC card 9 to the cash register, and the cash register reads the food and drink charge information by the IC card reader 19 and performs the settlement process. As a result, it is said that any settlement process including cash will be accelerated.

  By the way, users of restaurants such as coffee shops and family restaurants are not limited to using it to enjoy eating and drinking, but use it for time adjustment before visiting the customer, or use the laptop to report after the visit. Or use it for reading or learning.

  Here, when it is not suitable for geography such as a business trip destination or far away, there is a user who searches for a coffee shop or the like in the vicinity of the visited place in advance and adjusts the time by using the coffee shop or the like on that day. However, since it is not known how crowded the coffee shop or the like is, the coffee shop can be used without being fully booked, but it may be difficult to adjust the time until the visit time. Also, if you visit early to avoid being late, the time until the promised time will be longer, and even if you have finished drinking the beverage you ordered at a coffee shop or the like, you may still have time. In such a case, if the seats in the store are occupied for a while, there is a problem that the restaurant loses the opportunity to provide food and drink to other customers.

  In this way, the user has a desire to use the restaurant in a timely and free time, and the restaurant has a request to avoid occupying the seat more than the eating and drinking time. No proposal was made to fulfill the needs of both parties.

In addition, it is good also as a structure which is displayed on a start date specification part as a default value 8:20 which can be designated by the reservation time designation | designated minimum unit containing expected arrival time.

  In addition, the start / end designation unit displays, by default, the date and time when the shortest time that can be reserved in the store has elapsed from the start date / time of the start date / time designation unit determined and displayed as described above. In this way, the user can easily execute a reservation that matches the time of arrival from the current location and arrival at the store. In addition, since the shortest time is set by default, the user does not need to check the shortest time and adjust the reservation contents in the case of short-time use, but only when the user wants to use it longer than the displayed shortest time. What is necessary is just to change the end date and time.

  When a plurality of seats are designated on the seat display section, a plurality of seats (designated number of seats) can be designated on a seat selection screen 390 (see FIG. 4A) described later. .

  In this embodiment, the default value of the start date and time is determined based on the estimated arrival time. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but “reservation now” “reservation from the estimated arrival time” “reservation by specifying the date and time” A start date / time selection screen having three buttons is displayed, and if “Reserve from estimated arrival time” is selected on the screen, the default value of the start date / time is determined in the same manner as in the first embodiment. ”Is selected, the latest time zone including the current time (7:40 if the current time is 7:42 and the reserved time designation minimum unit is 10 minutes) is set as the default value of the start date and time. When “Specify and reserve” is pressed, the start date and time may be designated as a blank page (blank display), and the start date and time may be specified. Also in this case, since it is possible to select the estimated arrival time as a default value, it is possible to easily execute a reservation in consideration of the travel time even in a place that the user does not know.

  When the user presses the seat display section of the reservation detail display section 383, the seat designation function section 321 (seat designation means) functions and displays the seat selection screen 390 shown in FIG. 4A on the display section 6j.

  The seat selection screen 390 includes a button 391 for returning to the reservation screen for returning to the reservation screen 380, a selected seat display unit 392 for displaying information on the currently selected seat, and a seat on the seat layout diagram showing the seat layout. A seat arrangement map display unit 393 that allows selection of the reservation, and a reservation execution button 399 for executing reservation.

  A plurality of premium seat marks 394 indicating premium-price seats and standard seat marks 395 indicating standard-price seats are displayed on the seat arrangement map display unit 393 along the layout of the store. The premium seat mark 394 and the standard seat mark 395 are vacant seat colors for the seats that are vacant from the start date and time to the end date and time designated in the reservation details display section 383 of the reservation screen 380 (dark color in the figure). The seats that have been reserved as little as possible from the start date to the end date are displayed in the reserved seat color (light color in the figure) like the reserved standard seat mark 396 . In this way, by changing the display of the seat mark depending on whether reservation is possible, the user can easily recognize a seat that can be reserved, and can select a favorite seat from the seats that can be reserved.

  In addition, a selection mark 397 is displayed on a seat displayed as a reserved seat by the user. This selection mark 397 indicates that the control unit 6a arbitrarily selects a seat that can be reserved according to the displayed reservation contents when the start date and time is specified in the reservation detail display unit 383 of the reservation screen 380. It is displayed on the seat display section of the reservation detail display section 383, and is displayed by default for the seat selected as the default seat by the control section 6a. With this selection mark 397, the user can easily recognize the currently selected seat, and whether the designated seat has been changed when a different seat is selected again can be easily determined depending on whether the selection mark 397 has been correctly changed. I can confirm.

  In addition, in the store, when all seats are not reservable, only a part of the sections are reserved, and after that, reservation is not possible and the order is in order of visitors, no seat mark is displayed for the reservation impossible area 398.

  When the reservation execution button 386 (see FIG. 3 (F)) or the reservation execution button 399 (see FIG. 4 (A)) is pressed, the reservation content specifying function unit 320 displays the start date and time specified on the reservation screen 380, Reservation data designating the end date / time, seat, class, store, and user is transmitted to the management server 4 via the WEB server 5, registered as a temporary reservation in the management database 304d, and held. This prevents the booking from being double-booked, and when the temporary reservation or the main reservation of another person has already been registered at the time of trying to make this temporary reservation, an error is returned and the user terminal 6 displays the display unit. An error message such as “Could not secure a seat. Please change the reservation details again” is displayed in 6j.

  If the temporary reservation can be safely made, the reservation content specifying function unit 320 causes the settlement function unit 322 to function. The settlement function unit 322 performs the settlement of the reservation price with a credit card. The payment function 322 requests input of a credit card number, an expiration date, and a security code, and when these are input by the user, the credit card is accessed by a credit payment server such as a credit company for authentication. If the authentication is OK, the settlement is advanced and the tentative reservation is made in the management database 304d of the management server 4 through the WEB server 5, the data data is changed to the actual reservation, and the process is transferred to the reservation completion function unit 323.

  The reservation completion function unit 323 displays a reservation completion screen (not shown) on the display unit 6j, and ends the process.

  When the reservation is completed in this way, the user is making a reservation for the store. In this state, when the current reservation list button 346 on the store search screen 340 (see FIG. 3B) described above is pressed, the current reservation display function unit 313 described above functions, and the current state shown in FIG. 4B is displayed. The reservation list screen 410 is displayed on the display unit 6j.

  The current reservation list screen 410 has a button 411 for returning to the store search for returning to the store search screen 340 and a current reservation list display unit 412 for displaying a list of reserved dates and stores and stores. When there is no reservation, nothing is displayed in the current reservation list display portion 412 and a character indicating that there is no reservation such as “No reservation is present” is displayed.

  When one of the reservations currently displayed on the reservation list display unit 412 is pressed, the reservation content detail function unit 314 functions to display the reservation content detail display screen 420 shown in FIG. 4C on the display unit 6j. .

  This reservation details display screen 420 displays a button 421 for returning to the current reservation list for returning to the current reservation list screen 410, the name of the reserved shop, the seat, the start date and time, the end date and time, and whether or not payment has been completed. A reservation content display unit 422, a service display unit 423 for displaying the service content received by the reservation at the store, and a reservation code given to the management server 4 by the reservation as a code image such as a QR code (registered trademark) The reservation code display part 424 to be displayed is displayed. In addition, the reservation code display part 425 may be provided with a reservation code character display part for displaying the reservation code by a character string such as a numeral or alphabet. When the store name in the reservation content display unit 422 is pressed, a store detail information screen 360 (see FIG. 3D) showing details of the store is displayed.

  When entering the reserved store, the user presents the store detail information screen 360 to the store clerk. The store clerk is a reservation person who reads the reservation code display unit 424 with a code reader provided as one of the input units 3i of the provider company store terminal 3 and makes a reservation from around the time of entering the store. Confirm.

  At this time, the control unit 3a of the provider company store terminal 3 accesses the WEB server 5 by the store program 303c, and the reservation code read into the management database 304d of the management server 4 via the WEB server 5 is officially registered. Check if it is a thing.

  If the collation result is OK, the service displayed on the service display unit 423 is performed and the use of the reserved seat is accepted. If the collation result is NG, the use of the seat is not accepted, and guidance is provided that the user can use the normal seat other than the reservable seat as long as the order of food and drink is made as usual.

  For verification, if any of the reservation contents specified by the reservation code is different from the store and date (start date / time or end date / time), the verification is NG, and the store and date is today at the store. And, if the current time is between the start date and time and the end time of the reservation content specified by the reservation code, the authentication is OK, and the current time is from a predetermined time before the start date (for example, 30 minutes or 10 minutes before). If it is between the start date and time, it will be a conditional authentication OK indicating that the use is OK when the start time is reached, and the store and date will match, but the current time will be earlier than the predetermined time before the start date or time, or the end date and time If the current time is later than the authentication time, it is determined as authentication NG. As a result, it is possible to ensure that only the reserved time zone will be accepted, and if it arrives a little earlier, it will be available at what time it is a little later. Or, it can be executed a little earlier, but the use is permitted because the seat is empty.

  With the above configuration and operation, it is possible to satisfy both the needs of restaurants and users, and improve the satisfaction of both. That is, the user can search for a shop near the destination and make a reservation for reliable use when visiting a customer on an unfamiliar land. In addition, even if a user who has come to an unfamiliar land such as the above can receive a seat fee by making a reservation for a long time at the store, sales can be reliably obtained and sales decline due to seat occupancy in small orders can be prevented .

  Further, since reservations can be made in units of seats, it is not necessary for the store to make reservations for all seats. Therefore, even in a store such as a coffee shop where it is common not to accept reservations, only seats in some areas are reserved seats, and the area only for regular visits and the reservation available area are separated It can be operated. Thereby, various usage forms by the user can be received. In addition, since reservations are charged according to the time of use, it can prevent the negative impact on the store that you can stay for a long time, and users who try to wait for hours in an unknown place can say It is possible to prevent the store from being fully used and to prevent the store from being used, and it is possible to solve both of the conflicting problems between the user who wants to use the store securely even for a long time and the store who wants to prevent sitting for a long time with small orders.

  In addition, since the area that can be reserved can be made a part of the entire store, business that prioritizes the normal order of visits can be continued, and the management of the store can be stabilized. Further, if seats that can be reserved are released so that they can be used if there is no reservation even if they have not made a reservation, loss of business opportunities can be prevented. Even in this case, since the reservation is a reservation in which a seat is designated and the ID of the reserved seat can be displayed on the reservation details screen 420 (see FIG. 4C), the seat is used because it is vacant. The reserved seat detail screen 420 can be presented to a user who is present and clearly indicate that the seat is reserved. Thereby, even if it becomes the situation where reservation use and visit use coexist, it can operate so that a reservation person can use a reserved seat reliably.

  In addition, by continuing such usage, for users who want to use for a long time, when it is not possible to enter the store in order of priority, it will not be possible to know when a reservation must be made and leave the seat. It can be a motivation for the user to make a reservation. And since the reservation fee is a seat fee, and ordering food and drinks can be made separately, the total sales and profit margin of the store can be improved.

  The route calculation function unit 319 may be configured to access a server provided with an external route search engine (not shown) and obtain a route search result from the server. In this case, the map data can also be obtained from the same server. Thereby, the server managed outside can be utilized for store reservation.

  In addition, it is preferable to indicate the seat ID and the reservation priority seat for the seat that can be reserved in the store. By operating in this way, customers who do not know that they can make a reservation can be informed that it is a seat that can be reserved. You can make a seat.
