Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of in-flight catering systems, and particularly to an in-flight catering system. Background Art

[0002] With the booming development of the civil aviation industry, the number of transported passengers has reached new highs continuously. In-flight catering enterprises are facing unprecedented challenges. The catering volume of catering enterprises has increased from about eight or nine thousand meals per day to the current delivery volume of two or three hundred thousand meals per day.

[0003] With the increase in the catering volume, the number of catering flights, flight information changes, catering production costs, personnel and other related costs are gradually increasing. The previous manual bookkeeping mode can no longer adapt to the current development situation. Under this background, the in-flight catering information system has emerged.

[0004] At the current stage, in the environment of a large increase in the number of catering flights and the continuous improvement of the complexity of catering content, manually using editing software to record and forward some information can no longer meet the current work requirements, and the work efficiency is low, and the error rate has increased significantly, resulting in front-line staff not being able to obtain the required information in time, seriously affecting flight guarantee work.

[0005] There are several problems with manual operation:

[0006] 1. Generate the daily catering flight plan according to the large catering flight seasonal plan;

[0007] 2. Generate the flight meal menu through the daily flight plan;

[0008] 3. Generate the aircraft guarantee task list through the daily flight plan for the aircraft;

[0009] 4. Generate the aircraft supplies equipped documents through the daily flight plan and the aircraft supplies equipped plan;

[0010] 5. Generate the raw material requisition list through the daily flight plan;
