Description

The present invention relates to a serving system and a method of using the serving system .

In hospitals and the like, serving carts are used to provide meals to hospitalized patients. The serving cart contains a serving tray on which meals to be served to the patient are placed. The serving cart is moved to the room where the patient is hospitalized, and the serving tray on which the food is placed is taken out from the serving cart. The taken-out serving trays are sequentially served to the patients.

The diet provided to the patient varies from patient to patient depending on the patient's condition. Therefore, it is necessary to serve the serving tray taken out from the serving cart without making a mistake. Conventionally, a serving person such as a nurse confirms a patient in a hospital room, and then takes out a serving tray on which a meal tag containing the confirmed patient's name and the like is placed from the serving cart and serves the patient. For this reason, there is a problem that the burden on the caterer, such as checking the food bill, is large and it takes time.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a serving system and a method of using the serving system, which can quickly and easily serve meals from a serving cart to a serving person. ..

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the serving system of the present invention corresponds to the unique information of the serving person, the meal contents of the serving person, and the order in which the serving person serves the serving tray on which the meal is arranged. It has a management system that manages the serving number, which is a serial number, and outputs a meal tag on which the unique information, the meal content, and the serving number are described, and a plurality of storage units of the serving tray. A serving cart to which the serving number is assigned in the order of arrangement of the sections is provided.

In the serving system and the method of using the serving system of the present invention, meals can be served quickly and easily from the serving cart to the served person.

(A) is a diagram showing the storage order of the serving carts for comparison, and (b) is a diagram showing the storage order of the serving carts of the present embodiment.

It will be described with reference an embodiment of a method for using the serving system and the serving system according to the present invention (serving tray storage method for serving cart) in the accompanying drawings.

The method of storing the serving tray in the present embodiment is used when meals are moved from the cooking room to the serving place by using a serving cart and served, as in a hospital or the like. In the kitchen, after the meals to be served to the recipient such as the patient are placed on the serving tray, the serving tray is stored in the serving cart. This serving cart is moved to the room where the patient is hospitalized. A serving person such as a nurse takes out the serving tray from the serving cart and serves the patients in sequence.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a serving cart 1 and a serving tray 2 used in the method of storing the serving tray in the present embodiment. In FIG. 1, the meal tag 13 is shown only on one serving tray 2, and the meal tag 13 of the other serving tray 2 is omitted for convenience of explanation.
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the food tag 13.

The serving cart 1 has a plurality of storage units 3 for storing the serving tray 2. The serving cart 1 is assigned a serving number 11 (described later) in the order in which the storage units 3 are arranged. In FIG. 1, consecutive serving numbers 11 are assigned in order from 1 from the top to the bottom, which is the order in which the storage units 3 are arranged. The order of the storage units 3 may be from bottom to top, left to right, or right to left, and is not limited as long as the serving tray 2 can be easily taken out by the serving person in the serving order.

A meal 12 and a meal tag 13 are arranged on the serving tray 2.

Information including the serving number 11, the meal content 14, and the unique information 15 of the serving recipient is described on the meal tag 13. The serving number 11 is a serial number corresponding to the order in which the serving cart 1 is served by the serving person after being moved to the serving place. The meal content 14 is, for example, 12 types of meals (regular meal, swallowing meal, energy-restricted meal, lipid-restricted meal, etc.) and menus (fish herb bread crumbs, spicy food, curry-flavored saute, fruits, etc.). The unique information 15 of the recipient is the name, unique number, etc. of the recipient.

The meal tag 13 is output from a management system that manages at least the unique information 15 of the serving recipient, the meal content 14, and the serving number 11 in association with each other. The management system is, for example, a so-called nutrition management system that has been used in hospitals, and a management system that can collectively manage not only meal contents but also electronic medical record systems, medical affairs systems, examination systems, nursing care support systems, and the like. The management system uses an output device such as a computer and a printer to output the food bill 13 for each recipient.

The method of storing the serving tray in the present embodiment has the following steps.

The first step is a step of preparing the meal tag 13.
The second step is a step of preparing the serving cart 1 described above.
The third step is a food bill arranging step of arranging the food bill 13 on the serving tray 2.
The fourth step is a meal arranging step of arranging the meal 12 on the serving tray 2 according to the meal content 14 (type of the meal 12) of the meal tag 13.
The fifth step is a storage step of storing the serving tray 2 in the storage section 3 to which the corresponding serving number 11 is assigned.

Further, after the first to fifth steps, the following steps may be performed.

The sixth step is a step of moving the serving cart 1 to the serving place.
The seventh step is a step of taking out the serving tray 2 in the order of serving number 11 and serving them.

Next, an example of the storage method of the serving tray 2 in the present embodiment will be specifically described.

First, in the cooking room, the serving tray 2 is installed on the belt conveyor. The meal tag placement process and the meal placement process are sequentially performed while flowing on the belt conveyor. The food bill 13 output from the management system or the like and prepared in advance is arranged in the serving tray 2. At this time, the meal tags 13 are arranged on the serving tray 2 for each meal tag 13 on which the same meal content 14 (type of meal 12) is described. That is, when the meal tags 13 are arranged on the serving tray 2, the order of the serving numbers 11 is not taken into consideration, and the meal tags 13 are arranged for each type of meal content 14. In order to work efficiently in the meal arrangement step, which is the next step, it is preferable to arrange meals 12 for each type of meal 12. Therefore, the order of arrangement of the meal tags 13, that is, the order of the meal tags 13 (serving tray 2) flowing on the belt conveyor is also set for each meal content 14. For example, in the serving tray 2 stored in the same serving cart 1, the regular meal is arranged, then the swallowing diet is arranged, and finally the lipid-restricted diet is arranged.

Next, the meal 12 is arranged on the serving tray 2 according to the type of meal on the meal tag 13. After that, the serving tray 2 is moved from the belt conveyor and stored in the storage section 3 of the serving cart 1 to which the corresponding serving number 11 is assigned. At this time, the person who stores the serving tray 2 confirms the serving number 11 of the meal tag 13 and stores the serving tray 2 in the storage unit 3 to which the corresponding serving number 11 is assigned.

It is preferable that the above-mentioned steps are performed for each of the same serving carts 1 from the viewpoint of efficiency.

Next, the serving cart 1 is moved to the serving place. After that, the serving tray 2 is taken out by the serving person in the order of the serving number 11, that is, in the order of the storage unit 3, and is served to the corresponding serving person.

In such a method of storing the serving tray in the present embodiment, the meal 12 can be served quickly and easily by using the serving number 11.

Here, FIG. 3A is a diagram showing the storage order of the serving carts for comparison, and FIG. 3B is a diagram showing the storage order of the serving cart 1 of the present embodiment.

In order for the meal arrangement process to be carried out efficiently, it is preferable that each type of meal 12 is arranged in the serving tray 2. On the other hand, if the serving tray 2 is stored in the serving cart 1 in the order on the belt conveyor after the meals are arranged, that is, in the order of the types of meals 12 as shown in FIG. From the serving cart 1, the meal tag 13 on which the corresponding serving person is described is searched for, taken out, and served.

On the other hand, when the serving tray storage method of the present embodiment is used, the serving tray 2 is stored in the serving cart 1 in the order of the serving numbers as shown in FIG. 3 (b). Therefore, the serving tray 2 may be taken out in the order of the serving numbers, that is, in the order of the storage units 3. As a result, the serving person can quickly and easily serve the meal 12 from the serving cart to the serving person.
