DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The restaurant management apparatus 1, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of stations 2, a plurality of customer printer 3, a kitchen printer 4, similar to the conventional, which is more formed on the handy terminal 5 of the multi-number A plurality of stations 2, a plurality of customer printers 3, and a kitchen printer 4
Are connected via an in-line cable 6 and a branch box 7, and the same number of receivers 8 are connected to the plurality of stations 2.
Are connected one-to-one.

However, as shown in FIG. 3, an order data file 9 including a header section 9a and a customer data section 9b is previously formed in a RAM (not shown) provided in the handy terminal 5. I have. The header 9a
Are those made from the terminal number area 9a ₁ and station number area 9a ₂ and the printer number area 9a ₃ etc., the customer data unit 9b, the customer number area 9b ₁
And table number area 9b ₂ and person in charge number area 9b ₃
When it is made of a number of menu number area 9b ₄ like.

In such a configuration, the handy terminal 5 has a keyboard 5a (see FIG.
When a predetermined operation is performed with respect to (refer to FIG. 1), an order data input / transmission process as shown in FIG. 1 is performed based on the input data at that time.

That is, the number of customers is stored in the customer data section 9b.
Customer number input processing to be stored in the customer number area 9b ₁ of
And the table number input process of storing the customer table number to the table number area 9b ₂ of the customer data portion 9b, and a representative number input process for storing a representative number waitress personnel number area 9b ₃ customer data portion 9b Are sequentially performed (as in the conventional case), and the printer number of the customer printer 3 to which the slip data is to be output is indicated by the header 9a.
The printer number input processing to be stored in the printer number area 9a ₃ performed by the printer number selecting means, further performs the menu number input process for storing the menu number of ordered menus to the menu number area 9b ₄ customer data portion 9b of Thus, the order data file 2a is created.

The terminal number area 9a ₁ and the station number area 9a ₂ in the header section 9a.
Stores a terminal number and a station number which are set in advance by the same initial setting processing as in the related art. Further, when the transmission key is pressed, the contents stored in the order data file 9, that is, the order data are output to the in-line cable 6 to input the order data.
The transmission processing ends.

On the other hand, the station 2 is always in a data reception standby state, and when receiving any data, its own station number is set as the transmission destination station number in the received data and the received data is received. If the data is order data, an order data process as shown in FIG. 4 is performed.

That is, first, it is determined whether or not the order data is normal. If it is determined that the order data is not normal, an error process is performed, and the process returns to the data reception standby state. When it is determined that the order data is normal, after performing a process of creating a customer file based on the order data, a process of creating slip data is performed by a slip data creating unit based on the order data, and The data is output to the in-line cable 6 by the slip data output means together with the printer number and the like included in the order data, whereby the slip data is transmitted to the customer printer 3 corresponding to the printer number. The customer printer 3 outputs a customer slip.

Further, when the process of transmitting the slip data to the customer printer 3 is completed, a process of creating menu data is performed based on the order data, and the menu data is output to the in-line cable 6 together with a predetermined printer number. Thus, the menu data is transmitted to the kitchen printer 4 corresponding to the printer number, and the order data processing ends. The kitchen printer 4 outputs a kitchen slip as a result of the above-described menu data transmission processing.

Since such data processing is performed,
The waitress transmits to the handy terminal 5 after sequentially inputting the number of customers, the table number, the number of the person in charge, the printer number of the customer printer 3 for which the customer slip is to be issued, and the menu number corresponding to the ordered menu. After the key is pressed and the order data is transmitted, the customer goes to the installation location of the customer printer 3 corresponding to the designated printer number, obtains a customer slip, and carries this work to the customer table.

As described above, since the customer printer 3 to which the customer slip is to be output can be arbitrarily selected, the customer slip is output to the customer printer 3 installed closest to the customer who has received the order. Can be done. As a result, the work load on the waitress can be minimized and the work efficiency can be improved.
We can respond quickly to customers.
