Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a restaurant equipped with a rotating eating and drinking table, which can automatically supply a shortage of goods to a traveling circuit, can warn of a product whose freshness has deteriorated, and can display a product. The present invention relates to a product supply method and apparatus capable of efficiently supplying various types of products, and a product management system for managing products by the product supply and ordering necessary products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a restaurant having a rotating dining table, sushi as a product is placed on a product dish and transported on a circuit of the rotating eating table.

[0003] In this product supply, several kinds of products are supplied to the traveling circuit in advance by a predetermined number, and when the customer runs short of the products (decreases), the operator overlooks the entire traveling route and runs short. They grasped the types, prepared the products of each type each time, and supplied them on the circuit.

[0004] In this product supply, the space for supplying the product on the traveling route is often insufficient.

[0005] For this reason, the following product dishes are manually stopped by an operator, and after a space for forced supply is secured, a plurality of product dishes of the same type are supplied at once.

[0006] In order to improve the supply of the products, it has been started to display the products to be supplied by a processing device such as a computer on a monitor and instruct an operator.

[0007] In order to eat delicious sushi products, the temperature of the shari should be human skin (around 25 to 35 degrees).
It is known that the temperature of the material such as sashimi is optimal when it is cold.

The freshness management of sushi, which is a product, is carried out by observing the product which has not been eaten by the customer for a long time and the spatter moisture evaporates, and the temperature of the house has decreased, and the freshness of the product has deteriorated. I was collecting and going.

Further, in order to facilitate the payment of the price of the product eaten by the customer, an ID medium on which product data such as price is recorded is mounted on each product dish, and the product data of the ID medium is read by a reader. Fee payments have also been adopted in recent years.

[0010] Further, in the management of products at each restaurant,
The managers manage the daily sales of commodities, and every time the next day, the necessary ingredients such as fresh fish and consumables such as soy sauce are sent to the market or purchased or contacted by the supplier for delivery.

[0011]

Conventionally, as described above, it is necessary to confirm the type of the missing product by looking over the entire traveling route, and it is possible to instantly grasp the type of the missing product. The inability to do so was a problem.

[0012] Further, in the supply of goods, since a plurality of dishes of the same kind are supplied at once, the kinds of goods become uneven, and the customer waits for a long time until a desired kind of goods comes in front of him. It was not possible to enjoy meals, and therefore the turnover rate of customers was not good.

Further, since the types of products to be provided depend solely on the empirical rules of workers, it is not possible to provide products of a type that matches the season, time zone, and customer segment, and sales are growing as desired. There was no problem.

[0014] In addition, since the instructions of the products to be supplied by the processing device are input to the processing device based on the empirical rules of the workers, it is not possible to provide the type of product that matches the season, time zone, and customer class. Was.

Also, in order to display the product supply instruction from the processing device on a monitor, each worker prepares the product by looking at the monitor, searches for a space to be supplied on the circuit, and supplies the product to that location. In addition, both the confirmation of the monitor and the confirmation of the space to be supplied require skill, and for an inexperienced operator, there is a problem that workability is not improved at all.

Another problem is that the freshness of sushi, which is a commercial product, deteriorates with time and cannot be eaten deliciously.

[0017] For this reason, sushi that has deteriorated in freshness is usually collected by patrol time or the number of patrols according to the type of the material. It is necessary for workers to learn the sushi patrol time or number of tours as an empirical rule, and for workers with little experience, this collection work is not only troublesome, but also when eating freshly degraded sushi Had a risk of food poisoning and was unsanitary.

In addition, in the management of merchandise at each restaurant, particularly in the procurement, it is necessary for a manager or the like to go to the market to purchase or contact a supplier, which is a problem that it is troublesome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for supplying goods to a rotating eating and drinking table, and a product management system, which makes it extremely easy to supply goods, warn of goods whose freshness has deteriorated, provide a wide variety of goods, and manage goods. It is intended for.
