In this embodiment, the sub-operation terminals 21 and 22 are equipped with a touch panel display that also serves as a display device and an input device. The sub-operation terminals 21 and 22 are connected to the network NT. A Web browser is installed in the sub-operation terminals 21 and 22.

[0017] The printing device 23 is a thermal label printer connected to the network NT. The printing device 23 operates according to at least commands from the main operation terminal 20.

[0018] The server 30 functions as both a Web server and an application server, and is connected to the network NT. By executing a predetermined Web application on this server 30, functional blocks such as a slip data generating unit 31, an apportionment information acquiring unit 32, an apportionment information adding unit 33, a total sales tallying unit 34, a staff sales tallying unit 35, and a customer sales tallying unit 36 ​​are generated within the server 30. Each functional block will be described in detail later.

[0019] The data storage device 40 is a database device including a slip data storage section 41, an alcoholic beverage data storage section 42, a staff data storage section 43 and a customer data storage section 44.

[0020] The liquor data storage unit 42 stores a plurality of liquor data related to liquor provided to customers. Each liquor data includes a category (e.g., “Champagne”), a brand (e.g., “Crystal”), a price (e.g., “¥150,000”), and a stock quantity (e.g., “5 bottles”).

[0021] The staff data storage unit 43 stores a plurality of staff data related to hostesses. Each staff data includes a staff code (for example, "S0001") and a staff name (for example, "Ms. A") as shown in FIG.

[0022] The customer data storage unit 44 stores a plurality of customer data. As shown in FIG. 3, each customer data includes a customer code (e.g., "C0001"), customer name (e.g., "Gion Taro"), gender (e.g., "Male"), address (e.g., "Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City..."), telephone number (e.g., "090-..."), and a responsible account (e.g., "Ms. A"). Note that a responsible account refers to a particularly favored hostess. Customers who are responsible for a specific account are generally served by the hostess who is responsible for that account.

[0023] A plurality of pieces of slip data are stored in the slip data storage unit 41. The slip data will be described in detail later.

[0024] The main operation terminal 20 is installed in an office provided within the store. The sub-operation terminals 21, 22 are carried by male staff (hereinafter also referred to as "black suits") who support the hostesses within the store. In other words, the main operation terminal 20 and the sub-operation terminals 21, 22, which are front ends, are both used within the store. Meanwhile, the server 30 and the data storage device 40 may be installed inside the store or outside the store.

[0025] In this embodiment, there are six seats in the restaurant (1F-1, 2, 3, 2F-1, 2, and a detached room). The seating capacity varies from seat to seat. For example, seat 1F-1 can be used by up to three customers and about four hostesses, but the detached room seat is larger than seat 1F-1 and can be used by up to four customers and about eight hostesses.

[0026] (System operation 1-Booking a visit~Leave the store) FIG. 4 shows a home screen P1 that is displayed first when the server 30 is accessed from the main operation terminal 20 via a Web browser. In the left area of ​​the home screen P1, there are arranged in a vertical row: a reservation input button B1 which is clicked when inputting information regarding a reservation for a visit; a ticket correction button B2 which is clicked when correcting the ticket data stored in the ticket data storage unit 41; a total sales button B3 which is clicked when checking the total sales of the store; a staff sales button B4 which is clicked when checking sales by female staff member; a customer sales button B5 which is clicked when checking sales by customer; a seat registration button B6 which is clicked when registering and correcting the number of seats, etc.; an alcohol registration button B7 which is clicked when correcting the alcohol data stored in the alcohol data storage unit 42 and when adding new alcohol data to the alcohol data storage unit 42; a staff registration button B8 which is clicked when correcting the staff data stored in the staff data storage unit 43 and when adding new staff data to the staff data storage unit 43; and a customer registration button B9 which is clicked when correcting customer data stored in the customer data storage unit 44 and when adding new customer data to the customer data storage unit 44. In addition, the right side area of ​​the home screen P1 is provided with six seat status display areas SS1, SS2, SS3, SS4, SS5, and SS6 corresponding to the six seats in the store, and a sales display area TS in which the total sales amount for the day is displayed almost in real time.

[0027] ·Book a visit When a staff member (hereinafter referred to as the "management staff member"; the management staff member may be the same person as the black-suited man mentioned above) who has the authority to use the main operation terminal 20 and has received a reservation request clicks on the reservation input button B1 on the home screen P1, the invoice data generation unit 31 of the server 30 is activated, causing the main operation terminal 20 to display a visit date and time selection screen, a seat selection screen, and a reservation input screen P2, in that order.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 5, the reservation input screen P2 has an area for displaying the visit date and time selected by the management staff on the visit date and time selection screen (e.g., "Wednesday, October 25, 2023, 21:00") and the seat selected by the management staff on the seat selection screen (e.g., "1F-1"), an area for inputting the names of the representative customer and accompanying customers, an area for inputting accompanying persons, and a back button B10. The management staff can input (select) the names of the representative customer and accompanying customers using the customer data (see FIG. 3) stored in the customer data storage unit 44. The management staff can also input (select) accompanying persons using the staff data (see FIG. 2) stored in the staff data storage unit 43.

[0029] When all input is completed and the management staff clicks the back button B10, the home screen P3 is displayed on the main operation terminal 20. At the same time, the slip data generation unit 31 of the server 30 generates slip data including the information acquired on the visit date and time selection screen, the seat selection screen, and the reservation input screen P2, that is, the visit date and time information (e.g., "Wednesday, October 25, 2023, 21:00"), the seat information (e.g., "1F-1"), the representative customer information (e.g., "Gion Taro"), the accompanying customer information (e.g., "male companion" and "female companion"), and the accompanying person information (e.g., "Miss A") and the slip code (e.g., "001002"), and stores this in the slip data accumulation unit 41.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 6, the home screen P3 differs from the home screen P1 in that an edit button B11 and a visit button B12 are provided in the seat status display area SS1 corresponding to seat 1F-1. The edit button B11 is clicked when there is a change in the reservation details, that is, when correcting the slip data stored in the slip data storage unit 41. The visit button B12 is clicked when a customer who has made a reservation visits the store. Note that the slip data generation unit 31 is involved in correcting the slip data.

[0031] Visit When three customers with reservations for seat 1F-1 come to the restaurant together with their companions and the management staff clicks the Visit button B12 in the seat status display area SS1, the slip data generation unit 31 modifies the slip data for seat 1F-1 stored in the slip data storage unit 41 so as to include information regarding the entry time (e.g., "21:02") and the set fee for the three customers incurred upon entry (e.g., "50,000 yen"), and the home screen P4 is displayed on the main operation terminal 20. The home screen P4 is a partially modified version of the home screen P3.

[0032] 7, the home screen P4 differs from the home screen P3 in that the color of the seat status display area SS1 corresponding to seat 1F-1 is different from the colors of the other areas SS2, the visit button B12 in the seat status display area SS1 is replaced with a leave button B13, some information included in the slip data for seat 1F-1 is displayed in the seat status display area SS1, the next TC (time charge) time (e.g., "22:32") calculated from the entrance time is displayed in the seat status display area SS1, and an amount reflecting the sales at seat 1F-1 (e.g., "50,000 yen") is displayed in the sales display area TS. In this embodiment, the representative customer name (e.g., "Gion Taro"), the representative customer's account (e.g., "Ms. A"), the entrance time (e.g., "21:02"), and the current sales (e.g., "50,000") are displayed in the seat status display area SS1 as some information included in the slip data.

[0033] · Alcohol orders 8 shows a home screen P5 that is displayed when the server 30 is accessed from the sub-operation terminal 21, 22 via a Web browser after the above-mentioned visit. The home screen P5 has six alcohol order buttons B14, B15, B16, B17, B18, B19 corresponding to the six seats in the store, and a sales display area TS in which the total amount of sales for that day is displayed almost in real time. To indicate that the customer is visiting the store, the color of the alcohol order button B14 corresponding to seat 1F-1 is different from the colors of the other alcohol order buttons B15, etc.

[0034] When a hostess entertaining a customer at seat 1F-1, or a man in black who has accepted an alcohol order from the customer at seat 1F-1, taps the alcohol order button B14 on the home screen P5 displayed on his or her secondary operation terminal (e.g., secondary operation terminal 21), an alcohol order screen P6 generated based on the alcohol data stored in the alcohol data storage unit 42 is displayed on the secondary operation terminal 21.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 9, the alcoholic beverage ordering screen P6 is provided with a category selection area, a brand selection area, an order quantity designation area, and a back button B20. When the man in black taps (selects) a category (e.g., "Champagne") from the list of categories displayed in the category selection area, a list of brands belonging to the category "Champagne" is displayed in the brand selection area. Then, when the man in black taps (selects) a brand (e.g., "Crystal") from the list of brands, he is able to designate the order quantity of that brand in the order quantity designation area.

[0036] When the man in black taps the back button B20 after specifying the order quantity, the order is completed and the home screen P5 (see FIG. 8) is displayed again on the sub-operation terminal 21. At the same time, the slip data generation unit 31 modifies the slip data for seat 1F-1 stored in the slip data storage unit 41 so that it includes alcohol order information (in this case, "Crystal, 150,000 yen"). Then, the amount displayed in the sales display area TS on the home screen P4 displayed on the main operation terminal 20 and the home screen P5 displayed on the sub-operation terminals 21 and 22 reflects the alcohol sales for seat 1F-1.

[0037] · Exit When a management staff member who has accepted a request from the customer in seat 1F-1 to leave the store clicks on the leave button B13 (see FIG. 7) in the seat status display area SS1, a ticket confirmation screen P7 generated based on the ticket data for seat 1F-1 is displayed on the main operation terminal 20.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 10, the receipt confirmation screen P7 displays the receipt code (e.g., "001002"), the date of visit (e.g., "October 25, 2023"), the seat (e.g., "1F-1"), the name of the representative customer (e.g., "Gion Taro"), the account of the representative customer (e.g., "Ms. A"), the time of entry and exit of the representative customer (e.g., "21:02-22:30"), the person accompanying the customer (e.g., "Ms. A"), etc., as well as a set fee according to the number of male customers (e.g., "40,000"), a set fee according to the number of female customers (e.g., "10,000"), the brand of alcohol ordered (e.g., "Crystal") and its price (e.g., "150,000"), and a time charge (e.g., "0"). In this embodiment, a time charge is incurred when 90 minutes have passed since entry.

[0039] The receipt confirmation screen P7 also has a back button B21 that is clicked to cancel the store exit process, a receipt issue button B22 that is clicked to issue a receipt, and a check button B23 that is clicked to proceed to the payment process.

[0040] When the administrative staff member clicks the receipt issue button B22, a receipt containing the various information displayed on the slip confirmation screen P7 is printed out from the printer 23. The black suit presents the printed receipt to the customer in seat 1F-1 and obtains approval for payment.

[0041] When the administrative staff member clicks the check button B23 after consent to the payment is obtained, the main operation terminal 20 displays a payment screen P8 generated based on the slip data for seat 1F-1.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 11, the payment screen P8 has areas for inputting the payment method and payment amount for each customer, an area for displaying the total sales amount, an area for displaying the unreceipt amount, a Split button B24, and a Payment Complete button B25. When the management staff inputs the payment amount for each customer so that the unreceipt amount becomes 0 yen and clicks the Payment Complete button B25, the payment is completed. The Split button B24 is intended to reduce the burden on the management staff. When the management staff clicks the Split button B24, the total sales amount divided by the number of customers is automatically entered into the payment amount column for each customer.

[0043] (System Operation 2-Apportionment Processing) The POS system 10 according to this embodiment is configured to be able to add apportionment information to any slip data stored in the slip data storage unit 42 after a customer leaves the store (for example, after the business hours of the day of the customer's visit or before the business hours of the day after the customer's visit). In this specification, adding apportionment information to slip data is referred to as "apportionment processing."

[0044] When the management staff member who wishes to carry out the apportionment process clicks the slip correction button B2 on the home screen P1 displayed on the main operation terminal 20, a slip list screen P9 is displayed on the main operation terminal 20.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 12, the slip list screen P9 is provided with a date specification area including a search button B26 and a slip list display area. When the management staff specifies an arbitrary date (for example, "2023 / 10 / 25") and clicks the search button B26, all slip data related to the visit on October 25, 2023 is displayed in the slip list display area. If the only visit on this day was by Gion Taro and others, the slip list display area displays various information included in the slip data related to Gion Taro and others' visit (see FIG. 10), as well as the slip correction button B27, a check mark indicating that there was an accompanying person, and a check mark indicating that the apportionment process has not yet been performed.

[0046] When the management staff member who wishes to carry out apportionment processing on the voucher data relating to Gion Taro and others' visit clicks on the voucher correction button B27, a voucher confirmation screen P10 which is very similar to the voucher confirmation screen P7 is displayed on the main operation terminal 20.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 13, the slip confirmation screen P10 differs from the slip confirmation screen P7 in that the receipt issue button B22 and check button B23 have been replaced with an apportionment button B28.

[0048] When the management staff member checks the invoice confirmation screen P10 and confirms that there are no errors in the invoice data to be subject to allocation processing, he or she clicks the allocation button B28, which activates the allocation information acquisition unit 32 of the server 30 and causes the allocation information input screen P11 to be displayed on the main operation terminal 20.

[0049] As shown in Figure 14, the allocation information input screen P11 has a first input area D1 for inputting first allocation information about alcohol sales, a second input area D2 for inputting second allocation information about the remaining sales, and an allocation completion button B29.

[0050] If the total sales amount is 200,000 yen (of which 150,000 yen is the sales of the alcoholic beverage "Crystal"; see FIG. 13), and all of the sales of alcoholic beverages are to be allocated to Ms. A and all of the remaining sales are to be allocated to Ms. B, the administrative staff inputs in the first input area D1 that all of the sales of "Crystal" of 150,000 yen will be allocated to Ms. A (first allocation information), and inputs in the second input area D2 that all of the remaining sales of 50,000 yen will be allocated to Ms. B (second allocation information) (see FIG. 15). Then, when the administrative staff clicks the allocation completion button B29, the allocation information acquisition unit 32 of the server 30 acquires the first allocation information entered in the first input area D1 and the second allocation information entered in the second input area D2. At the same time, the apportionment information adding unit 33 of the server 30 adds the apportionment information acquired by the apportionment information acquiring unit 32 (in this case, the first apportionment information and the second apportionment information) to the slip data.

[0051] When the total sales amount of 200,000 yen (of which 150,000 yen is the sales of the alcoholic beverage "Crystal"; see FIG. 13) is to be equally allocated to Ms. A and Ms. B, the administrative staff inputs in the second input area D2 that half of the sales amount, 100,000 yen, is to be allocated to Ms. A and the remaining half, 100,000 yen, is to be allocated to Ms. B (second allocation information) (see FIG. 16). Then, when the administrative staff clicks the allocation completion button B29, the allocation information acquisition unit 32 of the server 30 acquires the second allocation information entered in the second input area D2. At the same time, the allocation information addition unit 33 of the server 30 adds the allocation information acquired by the allocation information acquisition unit 32 (in this case, only the second allocation information) to the slip data.

[0052] The allocation completion button B29 cannot be clicked unless the total unallocated sales (i.e., sales that have not been allocated to any hostess) becomes 0 yen.

[0053] (System Operation 3-Counting Process) The POS system 10 according to this embodiment is configured to be able to execute three tallying processes. Below, we will explain the tallying processes that are executed when the four slip data shown in Fig. 17 are stored in the slip data storage unit 41, that is, slip data V1 without apportionment information identified by slip code "001", slip data V2 with apportionment information identified by slip code "002", slip data V3 with apportionment information identified by slip code "003", and slip data V4 with apportionment information identified by slip code "004".

[0054] When the management staff clicks the total sales button B3 on the home screens P1, P3, and P4 displayed on the main operation device 20, the total sales tallying unit 34 of the server 30 is activated, referring to the sales information contained in each slip data V1, V2, V3, and V4 (i.e., total sales of 100,000 yen, 50,000 yen, 100,000 yen, and 200,000 yen), and adding up these. The total sales tallying unit 34 then causes the main operation device 20 to display a tally result screen showing the total sales of 450,000 yen. The total sales tallying unit 34 may perform the tally periodically (e.g., every minute) instead of performing the tally when the total sales button B3 is clicked.

[0055] When the management staff clicks the staff sales button B4 on the home screen P1, P3, P4 displayed on the main operation device 20, the staff sales tallying unit 35 of the server 30 is activated and refers to the sales information, the account information, and the apportionment information contained in each slip data V1, V2, V3, V4. Specifically, the staff sales tallying unit 35 tally up Miss A's sales by adding up Miss A's sales of ¥100,000 indicated by the sales information in slip data V1, Miss A's sales of ¥80,000 indicated by the apportionment information in slip data V3, and Miss A's sales of ¥150,000 indicated by the apportionment information in slip data V4. The staff sales tallying unit 35 also tally up the sales of Miss B and Miss C in a similar manner. Then, the staff sales tallying unit 35 causes the main operation device 20 to display a tally result screen showing Miss A's sales of 330,000 yen, Miss B's sales of 100,000 yen, and Miss C's sales of 20,000 yen. Note that the staff sales tallying unit 35 may perform the summation not in response to a click on the staff sales button B4, but in response to a click on a "sales update button" separately provided on the home screens P1, P3, and P4, or may perform the summation periodically (for example, every minute).

[0056] When the management staff clicks the "Sales by Customer" button B5 on the home screen P1, P3, P4 displayed on the main operation device 20, the customer sales tallying unit 36 ​​of the server 30 is activated and refers to the customer information and sales information contained in each slip data V1, V2, V3, V4. Specifically, the customer sales tallying unit 36 ​​tallies up the sales for customer A by adding up the sales of 100,000 yen brought about by customer A's visit, which is indicated by the sales information in the slip data V1, and the sales of 200,000 yen brought about by customer A's visit, which is indicated by the sales information in the slip data V4. The customer sales tallying unit 36 ​​also tallies up the sales for customers B and C in a similar manner. Then, the customer sales tallying unit 36 ​​causes the main operation device 20 to display a tallying result screen on which the sales for customer A of 300,000 yen, the sales for customer B of 50,000 yen, and the sales for customer C of 100,000 yen are displayed. Note that the customer sales aggregation unit 36 ​​may perform the summation not in response to clicking the customer sales button B5, but in response to clicking a "sales update button" provided separately on the home screens P1, P3, and P4, or may perform the summation periodically (for example, every minute).

[0057] In this manner, the POS system 10 of this embodiment includes an allocation information acquisition unit 32 that acquires allocation information from a user when one of the slip data stored in the slip data storage unit 41 is designated by a management staff member, for apportioning the sales related to the designated slip data among one or more hostesses who contributed to the sales, an allocation information addition unit 33 that adds the allocation information acquired by the allocation information acquisition unit 32 to the designated slip data, and a staff sales tallying unit 35 that tallys up the sales for each hostess based on the slip data stored in the slip data storage unit 41, and the staff sales tallying unit 35 is configured to tally up the sales for each hostess based on the allocation information included in the slip data to which the allocation information has been added.

[0058] Therefore, the POS system 10 according to the present embodiment can easily allocate the sales to the hostesses who contributed to the sales. Also, the POS system 10 can evaluate the degree of contribution of each hostess based on the allocated sales (the result of the tallying by the staff sales tallying unit 35).

[0059] [Variations] Although the embodiment of the POS system according to the present invention has been described above, the configuration of the present invention is not limited to this.

[0060] For example, the POS system according to the present invention may be configured as a native application rather than a Web application.

[0061] Furthermore, the apportionment information acquisition unit of the POS system according to the present invention may acquire only the first apportionment information.

[0062] Moreover, the screens displayed on the main operation terminal and the sub-operation terminal of the POS system according to the present invention are not limited to those exemplified in the embodiment. The information included in each screen and the layout of each screen can be changed as appropriate. For example, the home screen displayed on the main operation terminal may further include a daily account creation button B30, which is clicked when creating a daily account table, as in the home screen P1' shown in FIG. 18. When the management staff clicks this daily account creation button B30 and specifies a date, daily account table data is created that is composed of various data such as data on customers who visited the store on that date, data on details of sales brought about by that visit, and data on the total sales for that date. The format of the daily account table data is preferably a format that can be read by Microsoft Excel (registered trademark) or the like. [Explanation of symbols]
