DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention facilitates cooking requests to a kitchen and delivery to a table by a floor clerk by writing order information into an IC chip embedded in a dish when receiving an order for a dish. It relates to a restaurant order processing system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A method of receiving an order from a customer at a portable terminal and informing the kitchen of the information by radio or the like is already common.

[0003] However, there is still a task of confirming which table a dish coming out of the kitchen should be provided to, so that there is a problem that the burden on the floor clerk is large.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, order information received by a floor clerk is written into an IC chip embedded in a plate, and the IC chip is read in accordance with a use. By displaying on the display device,
It supports the work of the floor clerk.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following arrangement. That is, in a system that is installed in a restaurant store or the like, has input means, display means, and storage means, and supports a determination operation when a restaurant floor clerk provides a completed dish to a table, as follows: Configured.

First, information of the portable terminal is also stored in a storage device installed in the kitchen. The chef puts out a necessary plate based on the information, and writes information such as a table number and the name of the dish on an IC chip embedded in the served plate. The cooked dishes are placed on the plate, and the contents written on the IC chip are read by a sensor installed at the exit of the kitchen, and the contents are displayed on a connected display. The floor clerk looks at the information displayed on the display device,
Serving food to the table.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The present system writes order information stored through a portable terminal to a non-contact type IC chip embedded in a plate and reads the information as needed, thereby facilitating the order processing process in a restaurant. It becomes something.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram relating to a restaurant order processing method. Reference numeral 01 denotes an order reception mobile terminal, which is used when a floor clerk receives a customer's order, and can be easily analogized by those skilled in the art. 02
Is a transmission medium connecting 01 and 03, which may be either wireless or wired. Reference numeral 03 denotes an order receiving device for a kitchen, which includes a storage device 031, a display unit 032, and an IC chip writing unit 033. Reference numeral 04 denotes a dish in which a non-contact IC chip is embedded, and reference numeral 041 denotes an IC chip embedded in the dish 04, which can write and read data in a non-contact manner. Reference numeral 05 denotes a finished food display device for the floor staff, which includes a chip reading unit 053 and a display unit 05.
Consists of two.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing steps. After receiving the order from the customer, the information necessary for the employee's judgment work until cooking and delivering the finished dish 04 to the customer's table is written in the non-contact type IC chip 041 embedded in the dish 04, This is a process of reading at a necessary point in time and displaying it as shown in FIG. 3 on the order receiving device for kitchen 03 as shown in FIG.

The following procedure will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the customer's order contents are input by the order receiving portable terminal 01 by the seat location number 51 and the dish name number 52 as shown in FIG. 5 (step 201). The input data is wirelessly transferred to the cook reception apparatus 03. The order receiving device 03 for the kitchen reads the data into the storage device 031. Only the record 602 corresponding to the dish name number received as data is extracted from the dish name table as shown in FIG. 6 stored in the storage device 031 in advance, and as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the display unit 032 (step 202). The display unit can also display, for example, a display 301 in the order in which four orders have been received. In this case, when there are a plurality of orders with the same dish name, it is also possible to cook together. The cook takes out the plate 04 that matches the displayed dish name and passes the plate 04 through the writable range of the IC chip writing unit 033. Then, the cooker inserts the non-contact type IC chip 041 embedded in the plate 04 as shown in FIG. The seat location 701 and the dish name 702 are written in (step 2
03). After the cooking is completed (step 204), the dish 04 on which the dish is placed is read by the chip reading unit 053 of the finished dish display device 05 for the floor staff installed at the exit of the kitchen.
Is passed through the plate 04 within the range of the radio wave of the seat, the seat location and the dish name 40 read by the IC chip reading unit 053 are read.
2 is displayed on the display unit 052 (step 205). The floor clerk delivers the plate 04 to the customer based on the displayed contents (step 206).

[0012]

According to the present invention, when the floor clerk receives the cooked dishes from the kitchen, the seat location to be delivered and the name of the dish are displayed, so that the work of the floor clerk can be greatly reduced.
