Theme restaurant automatic feeding system

An automated food delivery system for use in a theme restaurant, especially a food delivery system that can be decorated with different themes when delivering a meal.

With the advancement of society, the function of the restaurant has been gradually provided from the early stage of the meal, and gradually evolved into a place for friends and family gatherings. The range of catering services that attract consumers to eat is no longer limited to the speed of serving or whether the meal is Fresh and delicious, but whether the restaurant has the style characteristics, the service attitude of the service staff, and whether the restaurant as a whole can cater to the needs of consumers, etc., become one of the important reasons for consumers to evaluate whether they will go to consumption again next time.

In particular, the characteristics of the restaurant and the service attitude of the service staff, etc., in order to impress the consumers, the restaurant industry generally spends a lot of money to decorate the restaurant, and does not hesitate to do pre-employment training for a large number of service personnel. However, as the cost of operating restaurants has increased and the amount of consumption has increased, the willingness to consume has decreased. In particular, the restaurant service staff has a narrow pipeline and high turnover rate, which has often become a heavy burden for the restaurant operators.

For example, in recent years, the Japanese-style sushi restaurant, which is popular in recent years, emphasizes low-cost consumption, fresh hygiene, and ready-to-eat food. The business strategy is to automatically deliver a fixed number of dishes using a loop-shaped conveyor belt. Consumers are free to choose, which can save a lot of manpower, while reducing operating costs, so that the amount of consumer spending can be reduced.

Although the use of the loop-shaped conveyor belt in the aforementioned restaurant can reduce the working time for the service staff to order food and save the personnel cost of the restaurant, the food on the conveyor belt does not necessarily have the consumer immediately take it, even in each The plate is covered with a transparent plastic cover, which still cannot solve the problem that the meal is placed at room temperature for a long time and is prone to bacteria, which causes consumers to have doubts about the freshness of the meal on the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt has no heat preservation function. Can not be used in meals such as fried food, hot soup, etc., so that consumers have more restrictions on the choice of meals.

In addition, the aforementioned restaurant features that affect consumer willingness, in addition to the first-time consumers who are curious about the loop-shaped conveyor belt, can be said to have no special features, especially limited to loop-shaped conveying. With the delivery system, most of the seating arrangements are single-person seats. It is not possible to provide friends, family gatherings, chats, social activities, etc. When consumers gather for a party or special holiday, they can not provide suitable space for them. activity.

There is another ordering system in the industry that uses the RFID system, so that customers can use the RFID system to order food in the dining seat without the need of service personnel. Compared with the Japanese sushi restaurant, it can also reduce the savings. The personnel cost, but the cooked meal still needs to be sent to the dining seat by the service staff. It is not an orderly meal or a meal delivery. The Japanese-style sushi restaurant or the general restaurant is a fixed decoration. Only a small part of the decoration will be arranged in conjunction with certain festivals. The atmosphere of the restaurant has not changed for the consumers, and there is no theme and style. It is not very attractive for consumers to return to the restaurant again.
