Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to restaurants, etc., which rationally process information transmission between customers, waitresses, kitchens, payment places, etc., and store sales data, etc. in restaurants and similar eateries. , regarding ordering systems for restaurants.

Traditionally, in this type of restaurant, a customer seated at a table calls the waitress, who writes the customer's order onto a slip, reports the order to the kitchen via the slip, reports the completion of the food to the waitress, and then the waitress writes the customer's order on a slip. The restaurant brings the food to the customer's seat, places the order details and other slips on the seats, and when the meal is finished, takes the slip to the payment counter and pays.The person at the payment counter pays and organizes the slips. Common.

This conventional order processing method is wasteful, as the waitress has to walk around a lot, and the customer calls the waitress, and errors in processing slips can result in wrong items or orders being placed in the wrong order, which can cause problems with customers. Become.

Furthermore, in order to obtain management data such as aggregation of sales and cumulative quantity of each product type, it requires time and effort to compile them later, and there is a drawback that management data cannot be obtained sufficiently and quickly. This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an order machine equipped with an input means, a display means, a printer, etc. for ordering items is placed at each table, and an input means is placed in the waiting area of the waitress. A waiter machine equipped with a display means and capable of clearing processed orders based on the order of orders is installed in the kitchen, and a display means for receiving and displaying the cumulative number of ordered products from a master (cashier) machine described later and ordered products are installed in the kitchen. Each time a process is processed, it is input on the keyboard, and the kitchen device is used to transmit the information to the master device, and the desired information command is transmitted to the order device, waiter device, and kitchen device at the payment place, and the desired cumulative total of sales, etc. By equipping each with a master device that calculates and displays such calculations, customers receive accurate and prompt service, while restaurant managers can save labor and quickly obtain various data necessary for management. The present invention provides an ordering system device for restaurants and other eateries that can be used as a food service. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Equipped with SI.

As shown in FIG. 4, the kitchen appliance 3 is similar to the waiter appliance 2 shown in FIG. 3, but the display controller C○ and the display CRT are only one pair for keying in order processing.

As shown in FIG. 5, the master device 4 includes a display controller CO and a display CRT for displaying each information, a keyboard 1/FIK and keys K for input, and a printer 1/FIFP. and printer PR, printer 1/FIFP2 for creating sales materials, printer PR2, CPU, central control unit CC with memory, order machines la to ln, waiter machine 2, and serial input/output to transmission lines to kitchen machine 3. Serial 1/F for
SI, SI2, and SI3 are respectively provided.

The operation of the order system device configured as above will be explained. In FIG. 1, the customers seated at each table look at the types of food and drinks listed on the menu, the corresponding numbers, and the prices, and select the order number corresponding to the name of the item they are ordering. For example, by operating key K of order machine la, the product name and order number of the order can be entered. is displayed on the display CRT, and when the table number is transmitted and the order completion key is operated, the contents of the order are sent to the master device 4.

Invoice creation data based on the ordered item is received from the master device 4, and the invoice is printed out by the printer PR of the order device la.

The waiter device 2 receives data from the master device 4 and selects the table number according to the order order. and the ordered item are displayed on a CRT for order display. Further, data such as the cooking completion status of the ordered items from the kitchen appliance 3, such as item name and quantity, is displayed on the display CRT. Based on this display, the ordered items are processed in order of order, cleared with the key K, and this information is output to the master device 4.

The kitchen appliance 3 receives the cumulative number of ordered items from the master appliance 4 and displays it on the display CRT.

Each time an ordered item is processed in the kitchen, an input is made using the key K and outputted to the master device 4.

In the master device 4, the order devices la, lb.・・・

n, and send the data to master device 4.
The data is stored in the memory of the central control unit CC.

For the ordered items from each table, the cumulative total is calculated for each item with the same name and outputted to the kitchen appliance 3 as an order display.

Based on the processing (finishing) status of the ordered items from the kitchen utensil 3, the number of ordered items is reduced and the kitchen utensil 3
In addition to outputting the data on the dent, the finished contents are outputted to the waiter unit 2 for display in the kitchen.

Upon receiving the order processing signal from the waiter device 2, the order processing signal of the corresponding table is reduced and outputted to the waiter device 2.

This data is used to create a receipt at checkout and is printed out by the printer PR. Based on the above data, the CRT display will display the order details for each table, the ranking of the order time, the elapsed time since the time of the order, the amount corresponding to the order details, and the total number of each order item currently being accepted. The required information will be displayed.

Based on the above data, the central control unit CC calculates the sales data for a predetermined period, as well as the cumulative quantity of each product ordered during these time periods, and prints out the data by the printer PR2.
As described above, according to the present invention, the master device installed at the payment place serves as the order device on the customer table and the waiter device installed in the place where the waitress waits.
Exchange of data with kitchen appliances installed in the kitchen,
The system is designed to issue commands for the issuance of badges, store desired data in memory, and is structured so that the necessary display items can be displayed on the display of each device. Displays sales totals by day, month, hour, etc.
Moreover, since it is configured so that it can be printed out, customers can receive accurate and prompt service, and troubles with customers can be avoided.On the other hand, for the restaurant side, it is possible to save time and labor for employees. You can quickly and easily obtain the various days and evenings necessary for management and create management guidelines.
