Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention automates counter operations such as cash exchange and sale of horse racing tickets at voting counters for horse racing, bicycle racing, etc.
pl 卆、Naapmaru 2 Previously, the counting of deposits and the collation of sales slips at the above-mentioned counter operations were performed by multiple people, so it was not clear who was responsible for the excesses and deficiencies of deposits. In order to allow one person to do this, the present invention prepares the data of the counting means for counting the sales proceeds and the payment voucher, adds the data from the reading means for reading the payment voucher data to the control means, and The present invention provides a money management system in which the data is transmitted to a center having a host computer.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a money management system, and more particularly to a money management system that mechanizes tasks such as counting cash at a cash handling counter and collating sales slips.

At betting ticket counters at racetracks and other places, machine ticket vending machines and machines for refunding winning tickets have been installed to save manpower, but the back-of-house work of counting cash and comparing it with the number of tickets sold has not been mechanized. Therefore, mechanization of these items was desired.

[Traditional technique]

Conventionally, in the sale of voting tickets at horse racing and velodromes, the person buying the ticket specifies a single, multiple, or race number, order of finish, etc., and the person at the counter selects the specified order of finish using the keys on the operation panel. By typing, the order of arrival etc. will be printed on the voting ticket. Cash is received from people who take out voting tickets and buy them, but at this time, the number of tickets sold and sales revenue by order of finish at each counter are sent to a cash management center with a host computer, The number of tickets sold and sales amount are counted immediately.

When the cash from sales at each counter is collected and paid, each counter cross-checks with the center, and the center prints out the total sales to date.

Therefore, money management was carried out in which people tallied printed sales and counted the sales proceeds, created slips, and paid the money to the payment box.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

According to the above-mentioned conventional money management system, 3 to 4 people, such as those selling voting tickets and counting sales proceeds, are grouped together at one counter, and the tally is collated at a center and printed out. When an accident occurs, such as a shortage or excess of sales revenue that does not match the amount, there is a problem in that it is not possible to clarify who in the group is responsible for the increase or decrease in the amount. There was also a drawback that it required more manpower.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to mechanize money management and obtain a money management system that enables clear management for each individual. a vending machine configured to issue voting tickets and payment vouchers, a means for reading the payment vouchers, a counting means for counting the cash from sales, and a control means for controlling the outputs of the reading means and the counting means. and a plurality of payment stations for transmitting the output of the control means to a cash management center, and the payment station receives instructions from the cash management center by inserting the payment ticket and cash into the payment station. This is achieved through a money management system characterized by:

[For production]

In the present invention, one person is assigned to each vending machine to sell voting tickets, but the work of counting cash is automatically performed by a counting means consisting of a cash counter, and when the vending machine is changed, a keyboard on the operating section is selected. When the payment ticket is taken out from the vending machine, the sales amount is printed on it, so it is read by inserting it into the reading means, which is a league, and the control means confirms that the cash and the payment ticket match, An indication is made as to whether it is correct or not. Therefore, it is possible to perform mechanized management of individuals who perform voting ticket sales counter operations.
