Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention provides an electronic cash register 1 for managing sales during sleep hours.
i'! (hereinafter referred to as ECR).

Conventional technology FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a conventional time zone report 21.

The time zone report 21 has a time zone column, a total time zone sales column, and a total time zone sales column, allowing you to check the number of sales and sales amount for each time zone (here, 1 hour plum). ing.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a conventional sales ranking boat 22. The sales ranking boat 22 has a ranking column, each product column, a total sales column, and a total sales column, and the product names are listed in descending order of the total number of sales.

You can check the number of products sold and the sales amount.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the prior art, it is possible to identify the total number of sales for each time period, the total sales amount, the ranking of the total number of sales for each product in a day, the total number of sales, the total sales amount, etc. It is not possible to check the ranking of total sales, total sales, total sales, etc. of each product for each time period. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is not possible to grasp the movement of products related to time zones.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic cash register that can grasp sales information for each time period.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides an input means for inputting sales information such as the product name, sales quantity, and sales amount of traded products, and a memory for storing the sales information for each product in a predetermined time period. means, reading means for reading out sales information in descending order of sales quantity based on the sales information for each product stored in the storage means, and an output for outputting sales information based on the output of the reading means. An electronic cash register characterized in that it includes means.

Effect According to the present invention, the trade name of the traded product,
Sales information such as sales quantity and sales amount is input, and the storage means stores the sales information input by the input means for each product at each predetermined time period. Based on the sales information for each product stored in the storage means, the reading means reads out the sales information in descending order of sales quantity, and the output means outputs the sales information based on the output of the reading means.6 Embodiments Figure 1 shows an electronic cash register (1) which is an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of ECR 1. E
The CRI is a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CP), which is a reading means that includes, for example, a microprocessor.
The CPU 2 is connected to a read-only memory (hereinafter referred to as ROM) 3 in which programs for controlling various operations of the ECR 1 are stored, and a random access memory serving as a storage means. (hereinafter referred to as RAM) 4 is also connected. The RAM 4 stores a PLU (PRICE LOOK LIP) file 10, a time zone PLO file 11, etc., which will be described later.

On the other hand, the CPU 2 is connected to an input section 5 as an input means and a display section 6 as an output means for displaying various data inputted through the input section 5. Further, connected to the CPU 2 are a printer 7 which is an output means for printing receipts and the like to be given to customers, a drawer 8 which stores cash and the like, and a clock circuit 9 which outputs date, time and the like.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the input section 5 shown in FIG. 1.

The input section 5 includes a switch 15a consisting of switches such as a function switching power switch and a person in charge switch 7,000, a number key 16a, a department key 16b, a subtotal key 16c, a cash exchange key 16d, and It consists of a key part 15b consisting of a PLU key 16e and the like.

The sales amount is entered using the number key 16a, and the product to which the sales amount entered using the number key 16a belongs is entered using the department key 1.6b. The subtotal key 16c totals the sales amount, and cash 2. /' Unlock the drawer 8 using the exchange key 16d.

In addition, by using the PL (J key 16e), it is possible to store product names, product code numbers, product unit prices, etc. in a PLtJ file 10 (to be described later). It is.

The PLU file 10 can store product names, product code numbers, unit prices, sales amounts, sales quantities, and time period sales quantities for each product.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the time period PLU file 11. The time zone PLU file 11 can store sales rankings, product code numbers, and sales quantities for each time zone.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation at the time of sales registration in ECRI. In step a1, the transaction (
When the number of products, department, etc. are input for the products (sold), the sales proceeds of the traded products in the PLU file 10 are added in step a2, and the sales quantity of the traded products is added in step a3. , and the time period sales quantity of the traded product in step a4 is added.

In step a5, it is determined whether a flag that determines whether sales registration has been performed within a predetermined time period is ON or not. If the flag is ON, the registration process is terminated, and if the flag is not ON, the registration process is terminated. After setting the flag to ON in step 7 a 6, the registration process ends.

Figure 6 shows the time zone PLU file 11 in ECRI.
3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation at the time of registration. If the Ste/Knob b is in a standby state where input/output processing etc. are not being performed, it is determined in step b2 whether the flag is ON or not, and if it is not ON, step b
1, and if it is ON, it is determined in step b3 whether or not the time zone is different from the previous steering knob b3. If they are the same, the process returns to step b1, and if different, the process proceeds to step b4.

In step 77 b 4, the time slot sales quantities of the PLLJ files 10 are compared, and the top five are selected and read out according to their rankings.

Although the top five are listed here, the list is not limited to this. For example, only the top one product may be read out, or all registered products may be read out in order.

In step b5, the code numbers, quantities, etc. of the top five products sold in the time period are stored in the time period PLU file 11. Also, at this time, the total time period sales and the total time period sales are calculated.

In step b6, the time period sales quantity of PLU file]0 is deleted, and in step b7, the flag is turned off.
is set and returns to Ste knob b1.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the sales ranking report 12.

Sales ranking Revo-1 to 12 are provided with a time period column, time period sales quantity, time period sales total column, ranking column, each product column, and time period sales total column, and the sales product ranking and time period sales amount in each time period are provided. You can confirm the quantity P of "Sell".

As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to check the products whose sales change depending on the time of day, and it is possible to determine the purchasing time and shelf arrangement time.

In addition, it is possible to check the menu items that sell well at each time of the day at a restaurant, and it is possible to plan dishes that require preparation and prepare ingredients in advance.

In this embodiment, although it is desired to manage sales information on an hourly basis, it is not limited to an hourly basis.
For example, it may be in units of 30 minutes or in units of 2 hours. Alternatively, only a specific time period may be set, such as from 12:00 to 13:00.

In this embodiment, the sales rank report is recorded on rent paper, but it may also be displayed on the display unit 6. In addition, the sales ranking is based on the order of the sales amount.
~ may be created.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, sales information for each product in a predetermined time period can be output in order of sales volume. Therefore, sales information can be grasped for each predetermined time period.
