  Next, the operation will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the order input device 100, specifically, the operation of the order input device 100 when the menu connection key 100b is operated.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the appearance of the order input device 100. In FIG. 6, the same components as those shown in FIG.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the order input device 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The menu input unit 100a includes a product key 100a1 in which a product name is described, a code input key 100a2 that receives a product code, a JAN code input key 100a3 that receives a JAN code for specifying a product, and a product. An MLU input key 100a4 for receiving the MLU No., a name search key 100a5 for searching for a product name, and a department search key 100a6 for searching for a product corresponding to the department from the department of the product.

  The menu connection key 100b can be operated after the menu input unit 100a accepts an order, and the menu master data 3 shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the storage unit 100e of the order input device 100. To do.

  When the menu input unit 100a receives an order for any of a plurality of preset orderable products, the menu input unit 100a outputs a product code (order signal) of the ordered product (parent product) to the control unit 100d. When the control unit 100d receives the product code, step S1 is executed.

  The order of the product may be accepted by operating the product key 100a1 to which the product to be ordered is assigned in advance, or may be selected by touching the name of the product displayed on the display unit 100c of the touch panel. May be accepted (see FIG. 6) or may be accepted as a product code.

  In step S1, the control unit 100d stores the product code received from the menu input unit 100a, enables the menu connection key 100b, and changes the color of the menu connection key 100b from the specific color to the specific color. Change to a different color.

  The user of the order input device 100 recognizes that the menu connection key 100b can be operated when the color of the menu connection key 100b becomes a predetermined color. Thereafter, step S2 is executed.

  In addition, after step S1, the quantity of the child product may be input with the numeric keypad 100a7 (see FIG. 6) of the order input device 100, and then step S2 may be executed.

  In step S2, the menu connection key 100b is operated, that is, the menu connection key 100b accepts a connection instruction, and a connection instruction signal is output to the control unit 100d.

  When receiving the connection instruction signal, the control unit 100d determines that the product specified by the order signal (product code) received by the menu input unit 100a immediately before the connection instruction signal is received is the parent product. When the control unit 100d recognizes a product that is a parent product, the control unit 100d executes Step S3.

  In step S3, the control unit 100d reads the parent / child determination code 1f of the product to be the parent product from the menu master data 3 of the storage unit 100e, and whether the parent / child determination code 1f is “2” (only becomes a child product). Judge whether or not.

  The controller 100d executes step S4 if the parent-child discrimination code 1f is “2”, and executes step S5 if the parent-child discrimination code 1f is not “2”.

  In step S4, the control unit 100d performs error processing such as canceling the determination of the parent product, and then executes step S6 to display, for example, “Cannot connect to submenu” on the display unit 100c. Thereafter, the control unit 100d executes Step S7, returns the menu connection key 100b to a specific color, and enters a product selection waiting state.

  On the other hand, in step S5, the control unit 100d determines whether or not the quantity has already been input using the numeric keypad 100a7. If the quantity has already been input, the control unit 100d executes step S8. Executed.

  In step S8, the control unit 100d displays the input quantity on the display unit 100c. Thereafter, step S9 is executed.

  In step S <b> 9, the user of the order input device 100 inputs an order for a product to be a child product, which is one of a plurality of preset orderable products, to the menu input unit 100 a. The menu input unit 100a outputs the product code (order signal) of the ordered product (child product) to the control unit 100d.

  When the control unit 100d receives a product code (order signal) after receiving a connection instruction signal, even if the menu configuration No1e to be connected is associated with the product code in the menu master data 3, the menu 100 Ignore configuration No1e.

  For this reason, when a product code is received after receiving a connection instruction signal, the product associated with the product code in the submenu master data 2 cannot be selected.

  Thereafter, the control unit 100d executes Step S10.

  In step S10, the control unit 100d determines whether the process has been stopped by operating the last correction key 100a8 or the product correction key 100a9 (see FIG. 6). If the process has not been stopped, the control unit 100d executes step S11. If canceled, step S12 is executed.

  In step S11, the control unit 100d determines that the product specified by the order signal (product code) received in step S9 is a child product, and a combination for ordering a product in which the parent product and the child product are combined. The order signal is generated with reference to the menu master data in the storage unit 100e. Note that the control unit 100d assigns an order number (for example, a serial number for each day) to each order signal (including a combined order signal).

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a combined order signal generated by the control unit 100d. Specifically, FIG. 7 shows a combined order signal generated when curry rice (product code 0001) is designated as the parent product, and cheese (product code 0010) and tonkatsu (product code 0002) are designated as the child products. FIG.

  In FIG. 7, the order number 7a, the product code 7b, the number 7c, the amount 7d, and the product flag 7e are associated with the combination order signal. The product flag 7e is assigned “0” to the parent product and “1” to the child product.

  The control unit 100d wirelessly transmits the combination order signal from the computer communication unit 100f to the control device 110.

  When the computer communication unit 110a receives the combined order signal from the computer communication unit 100f of the order input device 100, the control unit 110e of the control device 110 stores the combined order signal in the order storage unit 110b and outputs the combined order signal to the printer. The data is transmitted from the communication unit 110c to the printer 120.

  Upon receiving the combination order signal from the printer communication unit 110c of the control device 110, the printer communication unit 120a of the printer 120 causes the printing unit 120b to print the order indicated by the combination order signal.

  The printing unit 120b stores a product code and a product name corresponding to the product code in association with each other, and prints a product name corresponding to the product code included in the combination order signal.

  The printing unit 120b prints the product (child product) with the product flag “1” indented by two characters from the product (parent product) with the product flag “0”.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing a print example for an order in which curry rice is designated as a parent product and two tonkatsus are designated as child products.

  On the other hand, FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of printing for an order including curry rice as a normal commodity and two tonkatsu.

  In the kitchen, when an order including this indentation is received, a product combining a plurality of printed products is cooked. For example, when the order shown in FIG. 8 is accepted, “cutlet curry with two tonkatsu” without a menu is cooked in the kitchen.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the control unit 100d generates the combination order signal, the control unit 100d executes Step S13.

  In step S13, the control unit 100d updates the display on the display unit 100c.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an updated display.

  In the display shown in FIG. 10, the tonkatsu of the child product is displayed indented by two characters with respect to the curry rice of the parent product.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the display unit 100d updates the display, step S7 is executed.

  On the other hand, in step S12, the menu connection key 100b is operated, that is, the menu connection key 100b accepts a connection instruction, and a connection instruction signal is output to the control unit 100d.

  When the control unit 100d receives the connection instruction signal after the process is stopped, the control unit 100d executes Step S7.

  Next, the operation at the time of accounting will be described.

  When the input unit 130b receives the order number, the control unit 130c of the checkout terminal device 130 transmits the order number from the terminal communication unit 130a to the control device 110.

  When the terminal communication unit 110d receives an order number from the terminal communication unit 130a of the checkout terminal device 130, the control unit 110e of the control device 110 stores an order signal (for example, a combined order signal) to which the order number is assigned. The order signal is read from the unit 110b and transmitted to the checkout terminal device 130 via the terminal communication unit 110d.

  When the control unit 130c of the checkout terminal device 130 receives an order signal from the control device 110 via the terminal communication unit 130a, the control unit 130c performs accounting processing based on the order signal.

  The control unit 130c provides the receipt issuing unit 130d with the settlement result executed in the accounting process and the order signal subjected to the accounting process.

  The receipt issuing unit 130d stores the product code and the product name corresponding to the product code in association with each other, and at least the product name corresponding to the product code included in the order signal and the settlement result. Print the receipt shown.

  The receipt issuing unit 130d prints the product (child product) with the product flag “1” indented by two characters from the product (parent product) with the product flag “0”.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a receipt 5a for an order in which curry rice is designated as a parent product and two tonkatsus are designated as child products.

  On the other hand, FIG. 12 is explanatory drawing which showed an example of the receipt 5b with respect to the order containing the curry rice as a normal goods, and two tonkatsu.

  Next, the operation of counting the order signals stored in the order storage unit 110b will be described.

  The control part 110e of the control apparatus 110 totals the order signal memorize | stored in the order memory | storage part 110b for every predetermined period (for example, every day or every week).

  Specifically, the control unit 110e uses the product flag in the order stored in the order storage unit 110b to tabulate the parent product (product flag is “0”) and the child product (product flag is “1”). ) Separately. The control unit 110e causes the printer 120 or the checkout terminal device 130 to print the aggregation result as a report for each product, for example.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a report for each product. Specifically, the product-specific report shown in FIG. 13 is a product-specific report issued when only the receipt 5a shown in FIG. 11 and the receipt 5b shown in FIG. 2 are issued within a predetermined period. It is.

  The user of the order management system can grasp the tendency of the product selected as the parent product and the tendency of the product selected as the child product with reference to the report for each product. Therefore, the user of the order management system can newly add a combination product of a parent product and a child product, which has been requested, with reference to the product report.

  According to the present embodiment, when the control unit 100d receives a connection instruction signal and receives an order signal for ordering a plurality of products (for example, an order signal composed of first and second order signals). Then, a combination order signal for ordering a product obtained by combining a plurality of products specified by the order signal is generated.

  For this reason, it is possible to accept an order for a product that is not a preset orderable product but can be realized by combining orderable products. Therefore, it is possible to accept orders for products that are not preset orderable products, that is, orders for products that are not on the menu.

  In addition, it is possible to flexibly input products according to customer preferences. The reason is that those products can be freely connected as long as the products are registered.

  Further, when the control unit 100d receives the first order signal from the menu input unit 100a, then receives the connection instruction signal from the menu connection key 100b, and then receives the second order signal from the menu input unit 100a, the connection instruction signal A combined order signal for ordering a product obtained by combining a plurality of products specified by the first and second order signals received before and after is generated.

  In this case, it is possible to easily accept an order for a product that is not a preset orderable product, that is, an order for a product that is not on the menu.

  In the embodiment described above, the illustrated configuration is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the configuration.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the printer 120 is used as the output device, but the output device may be a display device. In this case, the display device displays the contents to be printed by the printer 120.

  Further, the control device 110 and the printer 120 may be connected by wire or may be connected wirelessly. Also, the control device 110 and the checkout terminal device 130 may be connected by wire or may be connected wirelessly.

  Further, when the control device 110 receives the order number from the checkout terminal device 130, the control device 110 performs the accounting process of the order signal to which the order number is attached, and the accounting processing result and the order signal are checked out. The checkout terminal device 130 may print the result of the accounting process and the order indicated by the order signal.

  Further, the method of specifying the parent product and the child product is not limited to the above and can be changed as appropriate.
