Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in which several types of sushi to be provided to customers are prepared in advance, one pattern is determined, and the type and quantity of sushi corresponding to that pattern are determined. By putting it on the conveyor, it will be possible to optimize the type and quantity of sushi that customers want. By comparing the type and quantity of sushi on the conveyor with the assortment pattern and displaying the difference in quantity on the screen of the workplace, it is possible to instruct what to make and how many. In addition, by collecting these data, it is a system that can manage the sales amount and quantity of each individual item and the gross profit. All of these processes can be done in real time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The conventional conveyor belt sushi system cannot grasp the quantity of each individual item on a conveyor, and cannot manage the sales and the gross profit of each individual item. Therefore, the number of stocks is grasped before the store opens, the number remaining after the store is closed is checked, and the number discarded is also subtracted to calculate the sales number. That is, the calculation could only be done after the store was closed. Also, the standards for discarding sushi on the conveyor are different for each store, even though they are the same chain store. You can see sushi that is not fresh and dried around the conveyor.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Being able to instruct a field worker in real time how many sushi should be made, and to be able to grasp sales quantity, amount and gross amount in real time on a list or screen The purpose is to be able to provide as a processing system such that the quantity of each type can be placed on the conveyor in a well-balanced manner, and that the sushi plate with two or three rounds of the conveyor can be automatically discarded so that fresh sushi can be provided to customers.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The structure will now be described. (A) All sushi plates are equipped with tags (RFID-type data carrier medium) on which unique numbers (approximately 10-digit alphanumeric characters) are recorded. (B) Set the plate tag reader to the position of the plate input port of the conveyor,
It is installed at a fixed position within one round of the conveyor. (C) A pair of one-touch keyboards and dish tag readers that can input sushi menu items will be installed in the dish slot. (D) Menu item data entered using the one-touch keyboard and the dish number read by the dish tag reader at the dish slot.
A data collection device is provided to correlate data and add time. (E) Plate No. read by the fixed reading device of the conveyor. Provide a data collection device that can add time to data and transfer it to a personal computer. (F) A mechanism that can automatically dispose of waste will be installed at a certain position on the conveyor (kitchen side). (G) A program for processing the data collected via the data collection device (discharging plates to the conveyor, sales, disposal, work instructions, profit calculation for individual items, etc.) It is a system for managing individual profits. Note that there is also a voice input method as the menu item input method. Not only one display screen but also the second and third screens can be attached to make it easier for the operator to see. The above device is used.

[0005]

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. The sushi carousel is clockwise. First, specify the menu item (for example, "Toro") from the one-touch keyboard, and then the sushi plate you grasped with the plate input port. Read and put on the conveyor. As for the reading method, the reading can be performed by passing the antenna of the reading device of the dish insertion port within 80 mm. These data are transferred to the data collection device. In the data collection device, new item data and dish No. Related to each other, and transferred to a personal computer for recording. The plate NO. Is read and transferred to a data collection device, and the time of passage of the reading device at a fixed position is added and transferred to a personal computer for recording. Even after a certain period of time (for example, 60 seconds) or more elapses, the loaded dish No.
If the data of No. is not transferred to the personal computer via the data collection device, the dish No. Judge that the customer took. That is, it is determined that “sold”. As a result, the dish No. recorded on the personal computer is displayed. The data is processed as sales data.

[0006]

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, the number of sushi plates used by a standard conveyor belt sushi restaurant is around 1,000. The maximum number of plates that can be placed on a conveyor having a length of 30 m is 200. Up to 4 dishes per day
It is assumed that 000 sheets will be used.

After designating one menu item from the one-touch keyboard of FIG. 1 (2), the sushi plate is placed on the reading conveyor by the plate insertion port reading device, and the menu item and the plate No. Are linked by a data collection device and transferred to a personal computer for recording. On the personal computer, click [Plate No.
+ Sushi type] will be recorded separately.

The dish No. read by the fixed reading device of (4) in FIG. When the data (fixed position treatment data) is transferred, the dish No. already recorded on the personal computer. The elapsed time is recorded by matching with. The fixed position elapsed data is not transferred even after a fixed time has passed. Are treated as if they were taken from the conveyor.

By these processes, the number of items to be prepared for each item is displayed on the personal computer screen (FIG. 7). The target data on the screen is updated by gripping the sushi according to the numbers displayed on the screen and placing it on the conveyor from the plate inlet.

A dish NO. When the conveyor makes two rounds (the number of times can be specified), the dish No. The discard flag is recorded in the data, and is discarded at a certain position on the kitchen side conveyor, and is automatically excluded from the conveyor. This process is a mechanism that can always provide customers with fresh sushi.

As described above, since the sushi item placed on the conveyor and the quantity thereof can be accurately set, it is possible to set up the timing and the timing such as the defrosting work and the cutting work, which are the works in the preceding stage, appropriately. You can serve delicious sushi in a sushi plate, put it on a conveyor, and provide it to customers in the best possible condition. This series of operations can be instructed to the site by converting real-time data into information (contents converted by the operator into operation level instructions) using a personal computer.

When the store manager or manager who is the store manager wants it, he / she can obtain the "sales / margin management information" at that time in a screen or list form for each sushi item. Items that cannot be carried over to the store can be sold out at time sale etc. to reduce the amount of waste, and to manage stores efficiently with less loss.

By using a plurality of plate inlets and a plurality of fixed reading devices, the former can work by a plurality of people, and a large number of sushi plates can be placed on the conveyor in a short time. The latter requires a short cycle to determine that the customer has taken a sushi plate from the conveyor (if there is one fixed reader, the interval is 5 minutes, but if there are five, it is judged that the customer has taken a plate at 1 minute intervals). ) Can be understood. As a result, the work content can be instructed accurately and finely, and the productivity of the worker can be improved and the waste of food materials can be reduced.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] The following effects can be realized. (B) Since the number of sales records can be grasped in real time, the food preparation can be done accurately and the loss of food can be reduced. (B) It is possible to improve work efficiency because the number of sushi items to be prepared can be instructed in real time in proportion to the type and quantity of food eaten by the customer. (C) The stocking of foodstuffs and the number of stocks can be optimized. (D) The number of customers in the store varies greatly depending on the day, the day of the week, and the time of day. By patterning the type and quantity of sushi to be placed on the conveyor according to the number of customers and the time of day, and selecting and operating that pattern, delicious sushi can be provided to customers in an optimal state. (D) You can see the sales and gross profit table for each type of sushi in real time, so you can promote sales in a timely manner. In addition, the total work can be greatly reduced. (E) Since work instructions can be given accurately and at good timing, and the contents thereof make sense, the employee's work consciousness also rises, and as a result, the attitude to respond to customers becomes accurate.
