Order input devices 4, 4, . . . for customer operation, each displaying a unit price, are provided.

A customer operation input input device 4 outputs an output by touching a pencil light 7 provided at each customer seat 2, and inputs it to a microcomputer main body 8.

FIG. 2 shows a plan view of an example of the display of the customer-operated injection input device 4. As shown in FIG.

The order input device 4 for customer operation has a lined-up product name display section 9.
The product name and unit price are written in each product name display section 9.

In this example, the first horizontal column is a drink column, and the second horizontal column is a drink column.
There is a column for alcoholic beverages, and the third to sixth columns display the name of each type of nigiri and the unit price for two of each.

Further, in the seventh horizontal column, the name of the roll and the unit price for each roll are displayed.

On the other hand, as shown in the plan view in FIG. 3, the order details display 5 includes a display field 17 that lights up the names of the ordered products one by one in order of order, and an orderer's seat for the products displayed in the display field. A display column 18 is provided for digitally displaying the number, rust-free display, number of preparations of the same product, etc.

In this case, the order for the item in the first column next to the item name display section 9 of the order entry device 4 for customer operation is indicated on an additionally provided display 27 (shown in the fifth figure).

The display device 27 has an item name display section 28 that lights up to display ordered products, and an orderer seat number display section 29, and has a built-in sound mechanism (not shown) such as a music box, chime, bell, siren, etc. that sounds when an order is received. , a supply key 30 to be pressed when supplying an ordered product to the customer's seat, and a key 31 to stop the operation of the sound mechanism.

In addition, if an assistant is attached to the cook's seat 3,
The assistant seat 3A is provided with an assistant controller 34 having a supply key 32 and a subsequent key 33 for obtaining a subsequent order confirmation display.

a customer-operated order input device 4 as each of the terminals;
All signals from the order content display 5, order exchange control/settlement device 6, display 27, controller 34, etc. are stored in the microcomputer main body 8 and output as necessary.

As shown in FIG. 7, the microcomputer main body 8 is provided with an operation dial 35, and has a main board, power supply, etc. built therein.

In the store apparatus configured as described above, first, when a customer is seated at any of the customer seats 2, when the cook presses the customer seat input pushbutton key 19 of the customer seat number of the customer seat number on the ordering/receiving control and payment machine 6, the information of the customer seat 2 is displayed. The order OK confirmation lamp 14 of the order input device 4 for customer operation lights up.

When the order OK confirmation lamp 14 lights up, the customer at that seat will know that it is now possible to place an order.

Then, the customer bought the item he wanted using Pencil Lite 7.
When the food item is brought into contact with the product name portion of the product name display section 9, the portion of the order content display 5 located at the cook's seat 3 that indicates the product name lights up, notifying the cook of the order.

For example, if a customer at seat 3 orders 3-4 portions of squid, the order details display 5 display area 1
The squid display in part 3-4 of 7 will light up and at the same time, the number of seats ordered, number 3, will be digitally displayed in the center of display area 18.

When the cook confirms that the customer in seat No. 3 has ordered 3-4 portions without sabinuki, prepares the food, and hands it to the customer in seat No. 3, the cook also controls the order delivery and reception. When the supply key 22 of the payment machine 6 is pressed, the displays in the display columns 17 and 18 disappear and the order details of the next customer are displayed.

In this case, the right side of the customer seat number display in display column 18 indicates that there was one other order for the previous squid, making a total of 2 orders, but even if the next customer's order is for that squid, Similarly, the display of 3-4 pieces of squid appears again.

However, the audience seat number will change, and if the customer has not requested sabi-nuki, the 0 display to the right of the audience seat number will disappear, and if there is no subsequent order for 3-4 pieces of squid, the 0 display to the right of the audience seat number will change. The number has changed to 1.

Furthermore, if the cook wishes to check the number of subsequent orders during the process, by pressing the subsequent key 24 of the order receiving/receiving control/settlement device 6, the product name will appear in the display field 17, and the number of orders will appear at the right end of the display field 18.

Furthermore, when the cook knows that the rice is out and presses the cancel key 23, the name of the item ordered by operating the customer-operated order input device 4 at the customer seat goes out, and at the same time, the display on the order content monitor 15 also goes out, so the customer can replace the rice. You will end up ordering more items or finish eating and drinking.

When the customer finishes eating and drinking, the microcomputer 8 has already accumulated and memorized the cost of the items supplied at each customer's seat, so the customer can press the total key 1.
As long as 3 is pressed, the printer 25 instantly issues a payment slip with details printed on it, the cook hands the slip to the customer, and the customer pays the price at the register.

If there are customers from the same group in multiple seats,
If one of them is to pay, the cook presses the total key 21, and the printer 25 issues a payment slip with the total for the designated guest seats printed thereon.
