- Conventionally, in eating houses of a restaurant or the like, information administering systems of the POS (point-of-sale) system and so forth are used for the purposes of shortening a preparation time of ordered refreshments, saving labor for totaling up sales, and efficiently managing a menu of the refreshments, for instance. As to this kind of the information administering system for the eating house, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 9-44569 teaches a system for reducing a labor and a time of a waitperson caused by acceptance of an order and calculation of a check. In this system, customers themselves order the refreshments with an information terminal-unit (self POS). Further, the customers calculate prices of the ordered refreshments by themselves with the information terminal-unit. In the meantime, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-105786 teaches another information administering system in which it is possible to grasp the refreshments, of which the preparation time exceeds a predetermined value, as a delay refreshment menu. Incidentally, the preparation time means a time spent for serving the refreshments. In this system, a waitperson inputs data into an information terminal-unit of a handy terminal and so forth. The data includes order information of the refreshments ordered by a customer, and order-receipt time data. Further, the data includes supply time data of the ordered refreshments. The preparation time is calculated from the order-receipt time data and the supply time data of the ordered refreshments.
- However, the above information administering systems for the eating house do not grant an advantage to the customer, since the purposes of the system are to save the labor of the eating house and to improve the efficiency thereof. For example, when there are inquiries about a cooking time of the refreshment to be ordered, a serving time of the ordered refreshment, cancellation of the ordered refreshment, and reminder of the ordered refreshment, there arises a problem in that the waitperson is called at each time for confirmation and commission.

Further, the cook inputs cooking completion information with thetouch panel 41 when completing the preparation of the refreshments. The above information are respectively transferred to therestaurant computer 13 via thenetwork 15 connected to the communication I/F 44. - The
restaurant computer 13 totally controls the whole of theinformation administering system 10, and is constituted of aCPU 50, astorage device 51, atimer section 52, a communication I/F 54 and so forth. In thestorage device 51, are constructed amenu database 55, a food-value database 56, aprice database 57, a cooking-time database 58, anorder information database 59, and a cooking-state information database 60. - The
menu database 55 stores themenu information 26 including image pictures of the respective refreshments. Theprice database 57 stores the price information of the respective refreshments. TheCPU 50 transmits themenu information 26 and the price information to the seat-side information terminal-unit 11 via thenetwork 15 when the customer selects the refreshments. The food-value database 56 stores the food-value information 27 of the respective refreshments. TheCPU 50 transmits the food-value information 27 of the selected refreshment to the seat-side information terminal-unit 11 via thenetwork 15. - The cooking-
time database 58 stores the cooking time of the respective refreshments. The cooking time is measured by thetimer section 52 on the basis of a cooking start signal and a cooking completion signal, which are inputted from the kitchen-side information terminal-unit 12. The measured cooking time is accumulated in the cooking-time database 58 one after another. From measured values of the cooking time of each refreshment, theCPU 50 calculates the average cooking time of the refreshment selected by the customer. The calculated average cooking time is transmitted to the seat-side information terminal-unit 11 via thenetwork 15 as the average-cooking-time information 29. - The
order information database 59 stores the ordered refreshments, quantities thereof and so forth as the order information of the respectiveterminal units 11. TheCPU 50 transmits the order information to the kitchen-side information terminal-unit 12 via thenetwork 15. - The cooking-
state information database 60 stores the cooking-state information 28 representing the cooking state of the ordered refreshment. Concretely, the cooking-state information 28 represents any of “served (cooked)” state, “undertaken (in cooking)” state, and “untouched” state. The cooking state of the refreshment is determined by judging whether the cooking start information and the cooking completion information are inputted or not from the kitchen-side information terminal-unit 12. TheCPU 50 transmits the cooking-state information 28 to the seat-side information terminal-units 11. - As shown in
FIG. 3B , the liquid-crystal monitor 22 of the seat-side information terminal-unit 11 notifies any state of the refreshment, which is one of the “served” state, the “undertaken” state, and the “untouched” state, to the customer by marking one of indication regions 28a to 28c in accordance with the cooking-state information 28. When the refreshment is in the “untouched” state, the cancel-button area 34 and the reminder-button area 35 are displayed on thetouch panel 21 so that it is possible to input the instruction information for cancelling or urging the refreshment. - Upon pressing the cancel-
button area 34, the instruction information of cancellation is transmitted to therestaurant computer 13. In response to this, theCPU 50 sends the order information representing that the refreshment is canceled, to the kitchen-side information terminal-unit 12. At the same time, theCPU 50 deletes the refreshment data from theorder information database 59 and the cooking-state information database 60. Meanwhile, upon pressing the reminder-button area 35, the instruction information of reminder is transmitted to therestaurant computer 13. In response to this, theCPU 50 sends the reminder information representing that the refreshment is urged, to the kitchen-side information terminal-unit 12. - Upon pressing the check-
button area 37, the instruction information of a check is transmitted to therestaurant computer 13. In response to this, theCPU 50 makes up print data of the check on the basis of the order information stored in theorder information database 59. The print data is transmitted to the seat-side information terminal-unit 11. In accordance with the print data, the seat-side information terminal-unit 11 prints out the check from theprinter 23. The customer brings the check to theregister 14 to pay it. After the customer completes the payment at theregister 14, theCPU 50 deletes the order information and the cooking-state information of the refreshments, which are ordered from the seat-side information terminal-unit 11 used by the customer having paid the check, from theorder information database 59 and the cooking-state information database 60. - Successively, an operation of the above structure is described below, referring to a flow chart shown in
FIG. 4 . At the outset, the customer selects the refreshment from the menu displayed on the seat-side information terminal-unit 11. Upon selection of the refreshment, the liquid-crystal monitor 22 displays themenu information 26 of the selected refreshment, the food-value information 27 thereof, and the average-cooking-time information 29 thereof (seeFIG. 3A ). - After selecting a quantity of the ordered refreshment with a

At the same time, the data corresponding to the canceled refreshment is deleted from theorder information database 59 and the cooking-state information database 60. - The reminder-
button area 35 is pressed when urging the ordered refreshment. Upon this, the instruction information of reminder is transmitted to therestaurant computer 13 by which the reminder information that the ordered refreshment is urged is transmitted to the kitchen-side information terminal-unit 12. In this way, it is possible to cancel or urge the ordered refreshment without calling the waitperson of the eating house. - When the customer presses the check-
button area 37 after having the meal, the instruction information of the check is transmitted to therestaurant computer 13. On the basis of the order information stored in theorder information database 59, therestaurant computer 13 makes up the print data of the check and transfers it to the seat-side information-terminal unit 11. Theprinter 23 of the seat-side information terminal-unit 11 prints out the check on the basis of the print data. - The customer brings the check to the
register 14 to make the payment. After the payment has been completed, the order information and the cooking-state information of the refreshments, which are ordered from the seat-side information terminal-unit 11 used by the customer having paid the check, are deleted from theorder information database 59 and the cooking-state information database 60. Even if the refreshments are additionally ordered, it is prevented to issue plural checks so that a checking process is simplified. - In the above embodiment, the refreshments are ordered from the seat-side information terminal-unit disposed at the customer's seat. However, as shown in
FIG. 5 , theinformation administering system 10 may be connected to theInternet 66 via aprovider 65. In doing so, the instruction of the order and so forth is performed with acellular phone 67 via theInternet 66, instead of the seat-side information terminal-unit. In addition, the guidance may be given from the eating house to the customer via theInternet 66. In this case, anoperation key 68 of thecellular phone 67 is used for inputting the instruction information. Besides the cellular phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and a personal computer may be used if it is possible to connect these apparatuses to theInternet 66. - Although the present invention has been fully described by way of the preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, various changes and modifications will be apparent to those having skill in this field. Therefore, unless otherwise these changes and modifications depart from the scope of the present invention, they should be construed as included therein.
