Description

Product ordering system considering the amount of stock}

The present invention relates to a product ordering system in consideration of inventory, and more particularly, to a product ordering system implemented to minimize the occurrence of malicious inventory by differently arranging products according to sales volume.

Recently, due to the increase in labor costs and difficulties in manpower management, unmanned environments are being attempted in various spaces used by consumers. For example, unmanned systems based on various IoT (Internet of Things) devices are being introduced not only in stores or entertainment facilities that sell products to consumers, but also in cafes and restaurants that provide food and beverages to consumers. Accordingly, the importance of IoT-based robots that can be used instead of employees in the space providing food and beverages is increasing.

In particular, in the case of unmanned cafes or unmanned restaurants, the role of serving robots plays an important role in not forcing self-service on consumers in addition to ordering and payment systems. The serving robot provides services to consumers by providing a means of movement, a means of gripping to pick up or put down an object, a means of filming external images, a means of communication to send and receive data to and from other devices in an unmanned store or a management and operation server. can provide For example, the serving robot may receive a customer's order and serve the prepared product or food or beverage to the customer based on the received order. In addition, the serving robot may arrange and set tables to provide store service to the next customer when the customer finishes using the unmanned store.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned background art is technical information that the inventor possessed for derivation of the present invention or acquired in the process of derivation of the present invention, and cannot necessarily be said to be known art disclosed to the general public prior to filing the present invention. .
