The purpose is to make the use of seats more efficient.

(d1 Structure of the invention) To summarize, in a multi-column type cash register that can perform purchase management using the Buri-check method, when a customer of a restaurant or the like makes an order,
．． ? A special feature (el) characterized in that it has a human-powered device for inputting numbers such as 8, etc., a storage means for storing whether or not there are customers seated in all the seats in the store, and a display means for displaying the contents of the storage means. Embodiment FIGS. 2 and 3 are a block diagram and an external perspective view showing the configuration of a cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR) which is an embodiment of the present invention.
PU 1 memory 29 display device 3. Printer 4. Keyboard 5. A cash box opening/closing device 6 is connected. The memory 2 stores menu j, -1 seat, etc. along with sales registration data necessary for the original operation of the ECR. FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of the main parts of the memory 2. In FIG. 3A, menus and their respective unit prices are stored in area Ml.

As shown in FIG. 2B, area M2 stores all table numbers (area M21) and number of seats (area M22), and area M23 stores the table conditions (for example, 1, counter, 2 is a terrace, etc.) is stored. Each time a customer enters the store, the number of people (area M28), time of entry (area M24), order details (area 29), and provisional sales amount (area M27) are stored in the storage area of the table at which the customer is seated. Also, the customer turnover rate (work I) for the day.
J Tj' M 2 G ) and average residence time (Area M
25) is integrated.

Area M; (I is the part that stores the sales for 13 minutes. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the display device 3 is a CRT, and the stored contents of the area M are displayed under the control of the CPUI.
Display゛・1′ru. The printer 4 is comprised of a serial printer that issues receipts and sales records. Keepo] 5
It is composed of a menu key, a numeric keypad used for inputting table numbers and totals &'/, and function buttons for calling up the contents stored in the storage device 2. The cash box opening/closing device 6 includes a control section and a drive section, and when a signal is input from cp(Jl), the control section starts the drive section and the cash box 7 is pushed out.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart 1 showing the processing procedure of the CPUI in the second embodiment. FIG. 3A shows an operation waiting routine. Step nl (hereinafter step ni is simply +i i
After performing processing such as displaying the CRT 3 and lighting the lamp, it is determined whether the store visit key, order key, or payment key has been operated (n2, n3, n4). If these are operated, the store visit subroutine (n20), order subroutine (n30), and checkout subroutine (n4)
0). FIG. 2B shows the store visit subroutine. First, in n21, it is determined whether there is a vacant seat or not, and if there is a vacant seat, the process advances to n22. If there is not, a message indicating that the seat is full and the table number of the customer who has been staying for a long time is displayed (n25), and the process returns to the operation waiting loop. . At n22, a list of vacant seats is displayed, from which the customer's desired table number and number of people are input (n23), and the contents and entry time are stored in area M28 and area M27 of memory 2 (ri24). )
Return to operation waiting routine. FIG. 2C shows an order subroutine. The table number where the order was placed and the order details are entered manually 1 (n31.n32)
, store the contents and temporary sales in area M29 and area M27 of memory 2 (n33), print the billing slip and order card (n34, n35) and return to the operation waiting routine. (D) in the figure is a settlement subroutine. When the table number is entered (n41), the billed amount will be displayed (
n4.2), by manual operation of payment processing (n43)
, issuing cash register 1 (n44), driving cash box 7 (n4)
5) Processing such as calculating change from the amount received from LJ (n4
After performing G), the stored contents regarding this customer are cleared from the memory 2 (n47) and the process returns to the operation waiting routine.

When using CR in a restaurant, etc., it is possible to accurately grasp vacant seats, which makes guiding customers smoother and improves the image of the store, as well as improving the turnover rate of all seats. It is also effective for management as it allows you to record the following information.

(``) Effects of the Invention As described above, this invention has the advantage of being able to perform efficient store management because the ECR can be used to perform and manage customer seats.
