Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of data collection, data management and intelligent analysis technology, and more specifically to a canteen management method based on intelligent devices combined with multiple consumption modes. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the informationization and intelligentization of enterprise management, enterprises must strengthen internal management and use data statistics and analysis to respond to market changes. The canteens of various units have many characteristics such as multiple roles of diners, high turnover, and multiple dining standards. In addition, the canteens are numerous, widely distributed, have irregular dining times, and many factors affect the opening of meals. With the development of the Internet and information technology, the problems in the traditional canteen management process have become increasingly prominent. The relevant financial data is difficult to collect, which has brought many problems to the development of enterprises, mainly manifested in the following aspects: (1) The IC card management method in traditional cafeterias has many problems, such as card lending, card loss, and inconvenient recharge.

[0003] (2) The management methods of traditional canteens are not unified. There are many phenomena, such as reporting dining lists based on duty status, manually recording dining lists, paying cash on behalf of employees at intermediate stations, and deducting wages based on the number of times a card is swiped.

[0004] (3) The non-standard, non-uniform management of traditional canteens brings a huge workload for the subsequent meal subsidies and accounting deductions for diners, and the authenticity, validity and accuracy of the data cannot be guaranteed.

[0005] (4) Lack of hardware equipment support to provide real-time information display platform.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a canteen management method based on smart devices combined with multiple consumption patterns to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In combination with the technical background and existing problems introduced above, based on facial recognition hardware, the technical solution to achieve the first purpose of the present invention is: a canteen management method based on smart devices combined with multiple consumption patterns, including smart device maintenance, unified canteen standards, multiple ordering forms and multiple payment methods.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions: A canteen management method based on smart devices and multiple consumption modes includes the following steps: (1) Personnel information maintenance: realize unified maintenance and management of personnel information.

[0009] (2) Standardized management of canteens: realize standardized and unified management of multiple canteens, customize the dining time and deduction standards of each canteen, and bind multiple face-scanning dining devices.

[0010] (3) Face-scanning dining: Implement the face-scanning dining mode, manage charges based on the detected dining information, and generate multi-dimensional reports.

[0011] Furthermore, the canteen management software and supporting intelligent hardware equipment can be adapted and interconnected, and data can be linked in real time. The equipment can be used to strengthen the determination of personnel dining permissions, the verification of repeated dining, and the statistical analysis of dining data.

[0012] Furthermore, different deduction marks are set for canteens according to the nature of the unit’s canteens to meet data statistics with different accounting standards in different regions.

[0013] Furthermore, the system's versatility and adaptability will be improved, supporting multi-terminal applications such as PC and mobile APP, providing multiple recharge methods such as WeChat, Alipay, and QR code, and supporting the interoperability of interfaces among various banks for corporate fund collection accounts.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention realizes the refined cost management of canteens of various units through the design of software and hardware interaction, and automatically completes the accurate subsidy and settlement of canteen consumption according to the dining situation of users.

[0015] 2. The present invention uses a preset management process to systematically control various aspects such as employee dining, food material management, and food safety, thereby achieving full-process trace management, strengthening process supervision, and effectively preventing financial, audit, and anti-corruption risks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
