Description

Self-service-based instant beverage selling system and method thereof

Technical field

The invention relates to the field of self-service transaction service technology, in particular to a self-service transaction-based instant beverage sales system and a method thereof, so that the consumer can complete the transaction service by itself, thereby not only reducing manpower and site costs, but also maintaining the product. quality.

Background technique

In daily life, whether it is work, work, exercise or leisure, people often drink beverages to quench their thirst. The commonly marketed beverages can be mainly divided into seal-preserving and instant-type: the so-called seal-preserving type means sealing. The packaging container is filled with beverages for long-term sales by the merchants. It is a large-scale production and extended shelf life. Chemical additives are usually added and the taste is fixed. Therefore, in general, consumers generally think that they are less healthy and taste. Nor can it be close to the taste of the original beverage material. As for instant drinks, such as coffee or tea, it is brewed or brewed after cooking. It can be seasoned according to the taste of each person [such as sweetness, coldness, etc.] and feeding [such as pearl, caramel, fresh Milk, etc., is characterized by the ability to express the aroma of raw materials, and can be further adjusted according to individual tastes, not only to have a sense of freshness, but also to meet the needs of consumers;

Therefore, the aforementioned instant beverages are currently popular and accepted by the general consumers, but the biggest problem is that such instant beverages require more production time and manpower, because their technicality is not very high, plus cost. Considering that it is generally produced by work-student students, but this will cause unstable quality, and once it happens to encounter more people, the unstable situation will be more serious, and often it will cause consumer dissatisfaction because it takes too long. In recent years, some merchants have developed instant-selling beverages to be sold in automatic sales opportunities to meet consumers' requirements for freshness and convenience. However, such instant beverages cannot be mass-produced due to their extremely short shelf life. After the sale is not possible, it can be replenished in real time. If there is no end, there will be a wasteful problem, and the taste is less selective. Even if it can only provide cold drinks, it has gradually ebbed after a period of popularity.

With the development of technology and the increase of labor costs, in the simple sales service of some trading projects, a variety of self-service sales equipment has been developed for consumers to operate and pay for their own transactions, such as the common self-service refueling. Machine, self-service vending machine, self-service laundry Machine and self-service dryer, etc. In terms of its trading model, it can be divided into traditional coin-operated or online credit card methods, but in the case of coin-operated, it can only be used for small-value transactions, such as self-service vending machines, self-service washing machines and self-service drying. Clothes, etc., but there are some problems in the transaction. First, consumers need to prepare the corresponding change to cause inconvenience. The merchants also need to arrange for the collection and replenishment of coins or banknotes in the equipment, thereby increasing the manpower burden and also being damaged and stolen. may;

Therefore, if the existing network communication technology can be integrated and applied, so that consumers can place orders online and complete online payment, the transaction can be accelerated and the manpower can be reduced. At the same time, the vending machine can be equipped with a flush function to meet the requirements. Providing the demand for hot drinks and cold drinks, it is believed that the unmanned service of instant beverages can be further completed, and how to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, so that the self-sale of beverages can be closer to the demand of consumption, that is, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention .

In view of this, the inventor of this case has in-depth discussion on the problems faced by existing self-service selling equipment for electronic payment, and based on the demand for technological development in recent years, through continuous efforts to improve and test, finally succeeded in developing a self-service based The instant beverage selling system and method of trading to overcome the shortcomings and inconveniences caused by the inability of self-service transactions of existing instant beverages.
