In ST50, the color in the button image of the corresponding seat number on the seat layout screen 51 is changed from red to blue.

On the other hand, if the status corresponding to the corresponding seat number is not "2" in ST46, it is determined that the seat of the corresponding seat number is a seat where the menu items ordered by the customer have not been served. Then, an error message indicating that the serving is not completed is displayed on the operator display 12. Then, if the clear key of the keyboard 11 is pressed,
The error message is cleared and the display returns to the display of the customer seat layout screen 51.

The station 3 is connected to the POS
When the accounted data message transmitted from the terminal 6 via the transmission path 7 is received (YES in ST3 of FIG. 8), the menu code, the number of orders, and the cooking corresponding to the seat number in the received message in the order management file 8 Clear the number of completions. Further, the status corresponding to the seat number is changed from "2" to "0".

In the restaurant in which the order management system according to the present embodiment constructed as described above is constructed, the operator display 12 of the POS terminal 6 displays a plurality of button images each indicating each customer seat in the store as an initial screen. The customer seat layout screen 51 allocated on one screen is displayed. When the customer has not entered the store yet, the button images corresponding to all the customer seats are displayed in blue on the customer seat layout screen 51. Thereafter, the customer arrives at, for example, the seat with the seat number “2” and sends the menu item A to the customer service representative.
When the customer orders two points and the menu item B, the receptionist operates the handy terminal 1A, and first inputs the number of the customer seat "2" of the customer seat where the customer has arrived, the number of customers, and his / her staff code. Next, the menu product A ordered from the customer
Menu code and its order quantity 1 and menu product B
Are sequentially input. After that, the transmission key is pressed.

Then, this handy terminal 1A
, The order data message including the menu number of menu item A and its order number 1 and the menu code of menu item B and its order number 2 are wirelessly transmitted from 3 is taken. Thus, the order management file 8 of the station 3 includes
The menu code of menu item A and the number of orders 1 and the menu code of menu item B and the number of orders 2 in the area corresponding to the customer number "2" are stored and held. Further, the status corresponding to the seat number "2" is changed from "0" indicating an empty seat to "1" indicating that cooking is in progress. Further, the cooking data including the seat number “2” is transmitted from the station 3 to the POS terminal 6. Thereby, POS
The status corresponding to the seat number “2” of the seat-specific memory 41 in the terminal 6 becomes “1”, and the frame of the button image corresponding to the seat number “2” on the seat layout screen 51 changes from blue to yellow. Is done. Therefore, the accountant operating the POS terminal 6
From the seat layout screen 51, it can be seen that the seat having the seat number "2" is cooking the menu item ordered by the customer who has arrived at the seat.

On the other hand, the slip issuing machine 4 sends the seat number "2"
At the same time, a new customer slip on which the item names of menu items A and B, the number of orders, the amount, and the total amount thereof are printed is issued. Further, for example, the kitchen printer 5A prints and issues a cooking instruction sheet for menu item A, and the kitchen printer 5B prints and issues a cooking instruction sheet for menu item B. Thereby, the cook in charge of checking the cooking instruction sheet from the kitchen printer 5A starts cooking of the menu item A1, and the cooking person in charge of checking the cooking instruction sheet from the kitchen printer 5B cooks the menu item B2. Start. Then, assuming that the cooking of the menu item A1 is completed first, the cooking staff operates the input device 9A of the kitchen printer 5A and inputs the menu code of the menu item A, the number of cooked items 1 and the seat number "2". I do. Then,
Cooking completion data including input information is transmitted to the station 3 from the kitchen printer 5A. Then, the number of completed menu codes of the menu product A stored in the area corresponding to the customer seat number “2” in the order management file 8 becomes one. However, at this point, since the cooking of the menu item B has not been completed, the status corresponding to the seat number "2" in the order management file 8 remains "1". The same effect is obtained by operating the input device 9B of the kitchen printer 5B and inputting the menu code of the menu item A, the number of cooked items 1 and the seat number "2".

Next, assuming that cooking of two menu items B has been completed, the cook operates the input device 9B of the kitchen printer 5B to operate the menu code of the menu item B, the number of cooked items 2 and the seat number "2". Enter Then, cooking completion data including the input information is transmitted from the kitchen printer 5B to the station 3. Then, the number of completed menu codes of the menu product B stored in the area corresponding to the seat number "2" of the order management file 8 is two. As a result, the order number of all the menu codes stored in the area corresponding to the seat number "2" matches the cooking completion number, so that the status corresponding to the seat number "2" becomes "2" indicating that the table has been served. Be changed. The served data including the seat number “2” is sent from station 3 to P
Sent to OS terminal 6. As a result, the seat number "2" in the memory 41 for each seat in the POS terminal 6
Is changed to “2”, and the frame of the button image corresponding to the seat number “2” on the seat layout screen 51 is changed from yellow to red. Therefore, the accounting person can see from the seat layout screen 51 that the seat having the seat number “2” has all the menu items ordered by the customer who has arrived at the seat. In addition, the same effect is obtained by operating the input device 9A of the kitchen printer 5A and inputting the menu code of the menu item B, the number of cooked items 2 and the seat number "2". Thereafter, when the customer who has arrived at the seat of the seat number "2" finishes eating and drinking and offers to pay the price, the accountant makes a check on the seat layout screen 51 displayed on the operator display 12 of the POS terminal 6. A touch operation is performed on the button image of the seat number “2”. Then, since the status corresponding to the seat number “2” in the memory 41 for each seat is “2” indicating that the serving is completed, the menu stored in the area corresponding to the seat number “2” in the order management file 8 is stored. Sales registration processing is performed on sales data of menu items ordered by the customer based on the code and the number of orders. When the sales registration process is completed, the memory 41 for each seat and the order management file 8
The status corresponding to the seat number "2" is changed to "0", and the seat layout screen 51 is displayed.
The inside of the button image frame corresponding to the upper seat number “2” is changed from red to blue.

In this case, it is assumed that the accountant erroneously touches the button image of the seat number "1" on the seat layout screen 51. At this time, the seat with the seat number "1" is an empty seat (status = 0, button image color = blue), or a seat where ordering of ordered products is not completed (status = 1, button image color = yellow). ), The sales registration process is not performed, and an error message is displayed on the operator display 12. Therefore, the accountant notices a mistake in inputting the seat number.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the POS
The operator's display 12 of the terminal 6 is a color display with a touch panel 16, and a plurality of button images indicating each of the seats in the store are assigned to this operator's display 12 on one screen.
1 is displayed. When it is detected via the touch panel 16 that the button image on the seat layout screen 51 has been touched, the sales data of the menu product ordered by the customer who arrived at the seat corresponding to the button image is registered. It has become something. Therefore, the desired seat number can be input simply by touching the button image on the seat layout screen, thereby minimizing the mistake of inputting the seat number compared to the conventional case where the seat number has to be input. it can.
Further, since only the touch operation of the button image is performed, the operation is simple, and the operability can be improved.

Further, according to the present embodiment, when it is detected through the touch panel 16 that the button image on the seat layout screen 51 has been touch-input, the seat corresponding to the button image becomes the menu item ordered by the customer. It is determined whether or not all of the seats have already been served, and only in the case of the already-served seats, the sales data of the menu item ordered by the customer is subjected to sales registration processing. Therefore, accounting can be performed only for customers who have completed the delivery of ordered menu items, and accounting is not possible for customers who have not completed the delivery of the menu items. And reliability can be improved.

Furthermore, the color of the button image of each seat displayed on the seat layout screen is different depending on the state of the seat corresponding to the button image (vacant seat = blue, cooking = yellow, served = red). Is displayed. Therefore, the treasurer can easily determine from the color of the button image whether or not the seat has been served,
It is possible to minimize the mistake of inputting the seat number. In addition,
In this embodiment, the colors of the seats are different between empty seats, during cooking, and served, but if the colors are at least distinguished between the served seats and the other seats, the color of the book The effects of the invention can be achieved.
