(Registration waiting for waiting)
Next, the waiting-order reception registration process by the order management system 1000 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG. A user who visits a facility (here, restaurant A) can perform reception registration by operating the order management terminal 200 installed at a storefront or a portable terminal (reception terminal) possessed by the user. When performing reception registration with its own mobile terminal, a facility (restaurant A) to be used is selected via a dedicated application or website, and a reception screen for the facility is displayed. Thereafter, the same procedure as in the case of registering using the order management terminal 200 can be performed. Here, a case where registration is performed using the order management terminal 200 will be described as an example.

First, the order management terminal 200 receives information included in the waiting list registered in the status management table TA2 from the order management server 100 via the communication interface 220 (step S101).

Next, the order management terminal 200 causes the display device 216 to display an acceptance screen for accepting an order waiting (step S102). On the reception screen, for example, a list in which the information of the waiting list (the reception number of the person waiting for the turn and the current status information) is arranged in time series in the order of reception is displayed. In addition, the number of waiting groups currently waiting for the order is displayed.

When the user performs a predetermined operation on the displayed reception screen, a reception registration screen is displayed (step S103). As shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the desired seat type (reception item) and number of people, the reception registration screen can be used to input a telephone number, e-mail address, name, date of birth, and the like.

When the input of necessary information is completed on the reception registration screen and the user performs a predetermined operation (touching the “Register” button), a reception completion screen is displayed (step S104). On the reception completion screen, a reception number (waiting number), a waiting time at the present time, and the like are displayed. In addition, a message prompting to receive a turn ticket is displayed, and the user can receive a turn ticket printed from a printer connected to the turn management terminal 200.

The two-dimensional code associated with the receipt number is printed on the turn ticket. By reading the two-dimensional code printed on the turn ticket using the user's own mobile terminal, the user's current waiting state (current number of waiting groups and expected waiting time) is displayed on the display device of the mobile terminal. Etc.) is displayed. In addition, users can receive telephone or e-mail messages when the order arrives, or the order approaches when the order arrives by entering the phone number or e-mail address according to the guidance displayed by reading the two-dimensional code. Sometimes you can receive remind messages.

The confirmed new registration information is transmitted from the order management terminal 200 to the order management server 100 via the communication network N (step S105). When the order management server 100 receives new registration information from a certain facility, the order management server 100 performs a process of newly adding a set of waiting orders to the order waiting list of the facility, based on the received new registration information, and stores the status management table TA2. Update (step S106).

(Member registration process)
Next, member registration processing by the order management system 1000 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.

When the order management server 100 receives new registration information from a certain facility and performs a process of newly adding one set of waiting queues to the waiting list of the facility, the order management server 100 includes the information specifying the facility and the new registration information. Information such as a telephone number, e-mail address, name, date of birth, etc. is transmitted to the member information management server 300 (step S201).

The member information management server 300 refers to the member information management table TA3 of the facility, and determines whether there is a record having the received telephone number as a member ID (step S202). If the corresponding record does not exist (step S202: NO), a new record having the telephone number as a member ID is created (step S203). In the record, information such as the received mail address, name, date of birth, etc. is recorded, and “1” is recorded as the number of visits to the store. For example, records such as member ID (phone number) “08012345678”, number of visits “1”, email address “abc@defg.co.jp”, name “XXXXX”, date of birth “19900201” are registered. Is done.

If there is a record with the received telephone number as a member ID in the member information management table TA3 of the facility (step S202: YES), 1 is added to the number of visits to the record with the telephone number as a member ID. Update processing is performed (step S204). If the information such as the mail address is different from the information registered in the member information management table TA3, it may be overwritten with the newly received information.

Next, the member information management server 300 transmits a short message to the mail address of the member who has received the telephone number (member ID) (step S205). The short message may be transmitted using an automatic transmission function. Specifically, a fixed sentence according to the number of visits of the member, the birth month, and the like may be prepared and transmitted immediately after registration. For example, if the number of visits to the store is one time, information such as popular products and recommended products of the store may be transmitted, and if it is two or more times, information about products for regular customers may be transmitted. Moreover, if it is a birthday month, you may make it issue and transmit a coupon.

(Update waiting list)
The contents of each record in the waiting list of each facility are updated when the facility employee performs operations such as “cancel”, “change”, “call”, “guidance” using the order management terminal 200. The “Cancel” means canceling the waiting order, and “change” means changing the contents of the waiting order once input. In addition, “call” means that the group that has been ordered is called verbally or informed by telephone or call mail. “Guidance” actually corresponds to the group that has been ordered. It means that it is in the state which started.

The employee selects the waiting group to be updated from the waiting list displayed on the order management terminal 200, and any one of “call”, “cancel”, and “change” is selected for the selected waiting group. Perform the update operation. Information (for example, reception number “1”) for specifying the order waiting group to be updated and update operation information (for example, “call”) are uploaded from the order management terminal 200 to the order management server 100 via the communication network N. . The order management server 100 updates the waiting list for the facility based on the received information. For example, when the “calling” operation is performed on the reception number “1”, the status of the waiting group in the reception number “1” is updated to “calling”.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the telephone number that is input at the time of waiting registration is used, and the member registration and the member information are immediately updated when the reception is completed. It is possible to efficiently manage the information of the user who registered the waiting as member information.

In addition, since a short message is sent to the member at the timing of registration registration waiting for a turn, the facility information can be distributed at an appropriate timing. Further, the content of the message to be transmitted can be efficiently transmitted by using a fixed sentence corresponding to the member information.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For this reason, the said embodiment is only a mere illustration in all points, and is not interpreted limitedly. For example, the above-described processing steps can be arbitrarily changed in order as long as the processing contents do not contradict each other, or can be executed in parallel.
