The order information group of the present invention may include more than two order information. The order information of the present invention may include dine-in order information ordered at the store, delivery order information ordered at the store, packaging order information ordered at the store, dine-in order information ordered remotely, delivery order information ordered remotely, At least one of the packaging order information from the order. The order information for ordering at the store can be generated based on the first page (on-site order page) used to generate the order information. The order information for remote ordering can be generated in the customer's terminal device 110 and transmitted to the electronic device 100 .

The order information group according to an embodiment of the present invention may include two or more order information of different types. The order information group includes the first type of order information and the second type of order information. The composition of the data items included in the first type of order information may be different from the composition of the data items included in the second type of order information. In the present invention, the difference in the composition of the data items of the two order information means that at least one data item among the plurality of data items included in the two order information is different. For example, when the composition of the data items of the first type of order information and the second type of order information are different, the first type of order information may include A data items, B data items, and C data items, and the second type of order information may include A data items, B data items, and C data items. The order information includes A data items, B data items, and D data items. In one embodiment, the order information of the first type includes the assignment status of the courier and the arrival time of the courier as data items, and the order information of the second type may not include the assignment status of the courier and the arrival time of the courier as data items. Data items. When order information is accepted through different delivery platform applications, the order information of the specific application (A application) requires calling the delivery person, on the contrary, the order information of the specific application (B application) does not require Call the delivery person. In this way, the first type of order information based on application A can include the delivery person's assignment status and the delivery person's arrival time as data items, and the second type of order information based on application B can not include the delivery person's allocation status. and the arrival time of the delivery person are included as data items.

The processor 310 of an embodiment of the present invention may provide a plurality of order information included in the order information group through the display 330 based on more than one predetermined criterion. The second page (order management page) of one embodiment of the present invention can be configured to integrate and display order information groups. In the present invention, the processor 310 "integrating and displaying" the order information group on the order management page may mean that the processor 310 displays a plurality of different types of order information included in the order information group based on more than one predetermined basis. on display 330.

FIG. 5a is a diagram illustrating an order management page according to an embodiment of the present invention. The processor 310 may display a list including a plurality of order information included in the order information group as elements in a predetermined area of the second page 500 . Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the "predetermined area" of the second page 500 used to display a list including a plurality of order information as elements may be interchangeably referred to as a "list area". The list area 510 may include a cell area corresponding to each order information. In order to display the data items included in the corresponding order information, the unit areas 511a and 511b may have a predetermined size or shape in the list area 510. A list can be a data structure with an order between elements. The list according to an embodiment of the present invention can be arranged based on the order acceptance time in the data items respectively included in the plurality of order information. That is, in the list, order information with an earlier order acceptance time can be placed before order information with a later order acceptance time. When the processor 310 displays the list in the list area 510, if the order information is the earlier the order acceptance time is, the unit area corresponding to the order information will be exposed at the top of the list area 510.

The processor 310 may display more than one event operation button respectively corresponding to the plurality of order information in a predetermined area (list area) of the second page 500. In the present invention, the event operation button may be a screen component that the processor 310 performs a specific action in response to the user's click or touch. The user can manage the order information by clicking or touching the event operation button to transmit the processing status of the corresponding order information to the electronic device 100 . More than one event operation button can be displayed in the unit area 511a, 511b of the corresponding order information in a manner corresponding to a plurality of order information. The more than one event operation button may include at least one of an order acceptance button, an order rejection button, a settlement button, and a cooking end button. The user can touch the order acceptance button to accept the received order information, or touch the order rejection button to reject the order. When the order acceptance button is touched, the processor 310 can change the order information in the "new" status to the order information in the "in progress" state. The processor 310 may delete the order information in the "new" state when the order rejection button is touched. The user can touch the checkout button generated for order information that is later than ordered (for example, a packaging order). The processor 310 can perform settlement actions on the corresponding order information when the settlement button is touched. The user can touch the cooking end button 513a when the cooking of the food is completed. The processor 310 may transmit cooking completion information to the terminal device 110 of the customer requesting the order in response to a user input touching the cooking end button 513a. The processor 310 can change the order processing status of the corresponding order information from "in progress" to "end" when the cooking end button 513a is touched.

In one embodiment of the present invention, when the order information included in the list is the first type of order information that requires calling the delivery person, in the predetermined area (list area) of the second page 500, it is the same as the first type of order information. More than one event operation button corresponding to type 1 order information may further include a deliveryman call button 513b. That is, the delivery person call button 513b may be included in the unit area 511b corresponding to the first type of order information.
