Match 3 with “Total”. In step s45, the customer number is input using the numeric keypad of the keyboard A71, and then the "customer number" key is pressed. In the next step s75, it is determined whether to display or print. If display is selected, the process moves to step s47, and when the "display" key on the keyboard A71 of the main operation panel 7 is pressed, the process moves to step s48, where the customer number data is displayed on the main CRT 4a. If you select printing in step s75, the step
Move to s49 and press keyboard A71 on main operation panel 7.
When the "Print" key is pressed, the process moves to step s50, and the customer number data is printed on the printer 74 of the main operation panel 7. With this, the customer number data display/print processing routine is completed, and the process returns to the main routine in step s51.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention has the above-mentioned system configuration, the data of the food and drink ordered by the customer by manually operating the table terminal with the customer number set in the controller is transmitted to the cooking department. Therefore, there is no problem caused by misinterpretation of orders due to verbal communication between customers, waiters, and cooks as in the past, and it is possible to issue a slip with cooking instructions and a customer number clearly written, and to indicate the amount of time served. Since the processing is done on a sub-operation panel, the food can be delivered to each customer's seat without any mistakes, and the register receives data related to the payment customer number from the controller and makes the payment, which eliminates the hassle of adding up the charges at the cash register and making the payment. In addition, the main cafeteria's comprehensive management system, which consists of a main operation panel and CRT display that set system conditions, and a controller that stores and processes all data, can be processed quickly and accurately by automating each task. The contribution of labor saving and improved management rationalization through sales data is significant. Furthermore, a group of parent/child table terminals is set with the customer number of the parent table terminal, and the effect is that the desired food and drink can be ordered from any table terminal.
The effect of adding up the customer number on the main table terminal when accumulating is remarkable.
