Description

Multi-lingual smart multi-function menu system

The invention relates to a menu system, in particular to a multi-language intelligent multi-function menu system that provides multi-national cuisine introduction, calorie calorie information calculation function and dish amount calculation function.

According to the press, there are a large number of people dining out today, and in Taiwan, whether it is in the urban area, campus, or sightseeing and leisure area, restaurants are becoming a very important place in the daily life of tourists, office workers, and students.

Generally speaking, during the lunch time of the peak or at night, the number of people in the restaurant is usually full and needs to be queued, and due to the limited service staff in the restaurant, it often affects the quality of service and delays the meal time; The ordering method used by most catering industry is to select the menu by handwriting marks by service personnel or consumers on paper. The more common problems may be easily prepared at the end due to illegible writing or wrong ordering by consumers Or an error occurred during meal delivery.

In addition, when the restaurant occupies a wide area or is full, the service staff needs to spend more manpower and round-trip time during the order delivery process, which delays the consumer's meal time, and even affects the mood of the meal and the willingness to visit again. Moreover, the traditional paper menu requires the service personnel to calculate the meal amount by themselves, so the problem of calculation errors in the manual calculation process cannot be avoided, which in turn affects the customer’s dining mood and satisfaction Degree, and at the same time will reduce the service speed of service personnel, and even increase the workload and pressure of service personnel.

In addition, most of the restaurant menus are only in a single language, so when foreign tourists order food, the service staff will not be able to introduce the details of the dishes and other information due to language barriers, and will not be able to provide a complete dining service. Therefore, the traditional menu has many shortcomings, which need to be improved and resolved by related companies.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a multi-language intelligent multi-function menu system. The menu panel is provided with a plural language module, a plural information interpretation module and an arithmetic module. One-language module and its one-in-one information interpretation module, point reading or scanning pen can broadcast dish introduction or dish calorie information in multiple languages, can provide consumers with instant introduction of dish contents, and allow consumers who pay attention to health to get instant access Know the calorie information of the dish; when the point reading or scanning pen is combined with the scanning information interpretation module and the calculation module, the amount of the selected dish will be calculated and played, providing consumers with instant ordering and avoiding the problem of incorrect calculation of the menu amount Moreover, the point reading or scanning pen can also calculate the amount of calories in the selected dishes, so that consumers can fully understand the calorie information of the dishes before the meal to achieve the purpose of healthy eating.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a multi-language intelligent multi-function menu system, which includes: a menu panel with plural language modules, plural information interpretation modules, an arithmetic module and an output module on its surface, language Each module corresponds to one language, and the information interpretation module corresponds to one dish introduction information, one dish calorie information, and one dish unit price information; one-point reading or scanning pen, which is provided with a microprocessor and one of the electronically connected microprocessors Identification module, a checkout module, a speaker module and a wireless communication module, when the identification module clicks or scans to identify one of the language modules and one of the information interpretation modules, the identification The module outputs an identification reading signal to the microprocessor, and the microprocessor plays the dish introduction information or dish calorie information of the corresponding language through the speaker module voice; click or scan the calculation module and the information interpretation module in the identification module At the same time, the checkout module calculates and generates a settlement information corresponding to the unit price information and the calorie information of the selected dish, and plays it through the voice of the speaker module, and the calculation module simultaneously calculates and displays a settlement amount message and a dish calorie message. Click or scan the output module to enable the wireless communication module to wirelessly transmit settlement information; and a terminal device that wirelessly connects point reading or scanning pens, the terminal device is provided with a wireless receiving module and a management module, and the wireless receiving module is wireless To receive settlement information, the management module has a storage unit and an integration unit. The storage unit is used to store the received settlement information. The integration unit accumulates integrated integration data according to the settlement information to understand consumer preferences, as a manufacturer Basis for future development.

Among them, the point reading or scanning pen is equipped with a memory module that is electrically connected to the microprocessor. The memory module pre-stores information on dish introduction, calorie information of dishes, unit price information of dishes, and multi-national voice information, while the point reading or scanning pen has A module for storing various information of dishes, and various information can be updated through the terminal device.

Among them, each ordering unit is set on one side of each dish introduction unit and each dish calorie unit respectively. Each ordering unit contains a plurality of dish serving codes. Each dish serving code is relatively available for clicking or scanning identification according to the dish serving size. Information on the unit price of dishes.

Based on the above, the multi-lingual intelligent multi-function menu system of the present invention is easy to operate, and consumers can click or scan to identify the voice playback information corresponding to each module through point reading or scanning pen.

When operating the dish introduction function, consumers can identify one of the language modules and one of the information interpretation modules by clicking or scanning the point reading or scanning pen.
