Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an electronic cash register.

(B) Conventional technology In electronic cash registers used in restaurants, hotels, bars and other food and drink businesses, for example, as shown in the application of Japanese Patent Application No. 1-153293 of the applicant, When an order is placed, it is entered in the cash register and stored in the memory. When the customer tells the payment, when the attendant performs the payment processing, the guest check prints the memory contents, that is, the order details and the total amount, and the customer checks it. The transaction is completed by receiving the payment and additionally printing the settlement statement on the guest check and passing it to the customer.

(C) Issues to be solved by the invention By the way, after the customer informs the staff of the settlement and the staff prints out the order details on the guest check, there is often an additional order from the customer. There is a method in which additional registration is possible until the final settlement is announced, and the order details are printed again on a new guest check at the final settlement. However, in this method, since all the additional orders are added up and printed together, the details of the additional orders are unknown, and it is not possible to additionally print the guest check printed first.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.
It is composed of an order detail memory, an additional order detail memory, a printer for printing the contents of the memory, and a control means for controlling the customer's order data and additional data to be written in the memory and to be read out from the memory and printed at the time of settlement. .

(E) Operation Since the present invention is configured as described above, if the customer places an order, the order data is written in the order detail memory, and if there is an additional order after the settlement, it is added to both the order detail memory and the additional order detail memory. When data is written and the final settlement is reported by the customer, when printing the same guest check at the customer's request, the contents of the additional order detail memory are read and additional printing is performed, while when printing on a new guest check By reading the content of the order detail memory and printing it, the guest check can be issued with high reliability because the details of the additional order can be easily understood.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral (1) is a keyboard provided with a numeric keypad for registering numbers, a department key, a transaction key, a person in charge key, etc., which is connected to the control unit (3) via a signal bus (2). The control device (3) is composed of a microprocessor, and performs a processing operation based on the data input from the keyboard (1) according to a program in a program memory (4) in which a processing procedure is stored in advance. (5) is an order specification memory connected to the control device (3), and areas are divided for each customer as shown in FIG. 2, and each area has an area (5a) for storing a customer designation code and an order. It is composed of an area (5b) in which data is stored. (6) is an additional order specification memory in which additional order data is stored, and is divided into an area (6a) for storing a customer designation code and an area (6b) for storing additional order data as shown in FIG. , And is classified by customer. Data is appropriately written into and read from these memories (5) and (6) by the controller (3). The areas (5b) and (6b) in which order data is stored are subdivided into areas for storing the product name, the number of products, and the total.

(7) is a character generator that stores character data such as alphanumeric characters, alphabets and katakana, and character data corresponding to the key operated by the keyboard (1),
Further, when printing is performed, character data corresponding to a print character is read out under the control of the control device (3). Reference numeral (8) is a display device which is connected to the control device (3) and displays the data inputted from the keyboard (1) and the data processed by the control device (3). ing.
(9) is a printer which is also connected to the control device (3) and prints the data input from the keyboard (1) and the data processed by the control device (3), and is configured to print on the guest check. There is.

 Next, the operation of the present invention having such a configuration will be described.

When the customer orders, the clerk operates the keyboard (1),
Enter order data. Upon detecting the key input, the control device (3) sequentially displays the input data on the display (8) and writes the data in the order detail memory (5). At this time, the customer code input first is written in the code area (5a), and the order data is written in the data area (5b). Therefore, for example, when a key input is made as shown in FIG. 4, data is stored in the order detail memory (5) as shown in FIG. Similarly, when an order is placed by the next customer, when the customer's code is continuously input with the order data, the customer code and the order data are stored in a predetermined area of the order detail memory (5). Thereafter, the order data of a plurality of customers can be stored in the order detail memory (5) in the same manner.

Next, when the customer reports the settlement, the clerk inputs the customer code "1001" and operates the guest check issue key "X / Z" as shown in Fig. 6, and the control device detects the key signal. (3) reads the order data corresponding to the customer code from the order statement memory (5) and prints it on the guest check (10) by the printer (9). At this time, the total of the order data is obtained and also printed as shown in FIG. The guest check (10) printed there is shown to the customer, the money is received, and the settlement is completed.

The above description was for the case where there is no additional order after the customer has announced the settlement, but the operation when there is an additional order will be described next.

When the customer informs the settlement, the guest check (10) is printed in the same manner as described above, but when the customer places an additional order, the staff member operates the key for the additional order as shown in FIG. , Data input after payment is made Control device (3)
Judges that the additional data is input, and writes the additional order data in both the order specification memory (5) and the additional order memory (6) as shown in FIG. Additional orders can be made any number of times, and data are written to both memories (5) and (6) each time (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

Next, the operation when the customer who made the additional order reports the final settlement will be described.

At this time, when printing is added to the same guest check (10), if the key operation is performed as shown in FIG. 12,
The control device (3) which has detected the key signal reads the data from the additional order specification memory (6) and controls the printer (9) to print on the same guest check (10) as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when printing on a new guest check (10 '), the key operation is performed as shown in FIG. 14, and the control device (3) which has detected the key signal causes the contents of the order specification memory (5) to be changed. Read out and print as shown in FIG. The order data added at this time is also added up and the result is printed.

(G) Effect of the invention As described above, the electronic cash register of the present invention is provided with the additional order detail memory separately from the order detail memory, and when the customer makes an additional order after the settlement, the additional data is ordered. By writing to both the detail memory and the additional order detailed statement memory, it is possible to make additional orders multiple times, and when the additional order data is additionally printed on the guest check printed first and then printed on the new guest check. Since the guest check can be printed in the form of adding the additional data, the guest check can be issued easily and with high reliability.
