Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a meal order accounting system in which a customer can select and order food from a food menu on an order screen displayed on a terminal, and the total amount of the food ordered is displayed and the accounting is completed by paying the amount. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the so-called hometown tax system, which allows people to make donations to other local governments (municipalities) and receive a deduction or refund from their resident tax, has become popular. While we won't go into the specifics of the system or procedures, it allows people to make a small annual donation, known as hometown tax, to the municipality of their choice, up to a limit based on their income. In addition to the tax deduction and refund, people can also receive gifts (such as local specialties) in return from the recipient municipality (up to a limit for the donation amount). This system is popular because it allows people to donate the amount they want to various municipalities across the country, choosing the amount they want based on the gifts they offer, and receiving a variety of gifts from each municipality to which they donated, all for a small, limited amount.

[0003] For example, donors (users) can simply access a dedicated website for hometown tax donations on their smartphones and, by performing the required operations, make a donation to the designated local government and receive a gift in return, which is extremely convenient.

[0004] However, there are cases where the gift cannot be received immediately after the donation, or where a large number of gifts are sent at once, or where even if a gift that is sent periodically is selected, the same type of gift is sent in large quantities. Furthermore, when the gift is food, there are problems such as the large amount being too large to eat, and although some ingredients are uncooked and others are cooked, there are often cases where the expiration date means that the gift cannot be eaten. This system makes it difficult to receive the appropriate amount of gifts at the right time due to the various requests of each party: local governments, producers, deliverers, and donors (users).

[0005] For example, tourists often become interested in the local gift and want to receive or eat it immediately. Even non-tourists may want to eat local food at a reasonable price.

[0006] Meanwhile, in recent years, restaurants have been moving towards labor-saving and digitalization, and are increasingly introducing meal order and accounting systems. Customers can order their desired dishes from a menu on a tablet device placed at each table or on their smartphone with a designated app loaded, and the total amount for the dishes they have ordered and eaten is displayed. They can then pay by credit card or barcode, completing the accounting process. It has also become common for customers to register as users of these systems and receive a variety of services. These operations are not particularly difficult for either the restaurant or the customers, and are actually welcomed by both parties. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In view of the current situation, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems with hometown tax donations by using the meal order accounting system, which allows people to order and eat a meal prepared from a hometown tax donation gift, or a set meal including the gift or a dish prepared from the gift, thereby allowing people to eat the gift as a meal when they want, at the right time, and in the right amount, and furthermore, to make a hometown tax donation by ordering and paying for this meal.This is an innovative meal order accounting system.

[0008] In other words, for example, a traveler can visit a local restaurant or an urban restaurant that serves food made with local ingredients and order a dish prepared with the gift related to the hometown tax donation, or a set meal that includes this gift or the prepared dish, and can immediately eat an appropriate amount of the gift.At the same time, by paying the bill that includes the donation amount, the hometown tax donation can also be completed, and the system aims to provide an innovative system that allows a traveler to make a donation to a local government and eat an appropriate amount of the gift at a reasonable time.

[0009] In other words, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing an innovative meal order accounting system that allows customers to select and order a meal made with a hometown tax return gift from a menu, or a set meal made with a hometown tax return gift that includes one or more of the return gifts or dishes made with the return gifts, and also displays the hometown tax donation amount related to the return gift or the refund or deduction amount associated with the donation amount, and allows customers to make a hometown tax donation by paying the total bill for the meal including these. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The present invention relates to a meal order accounting system that displays the price of each dish ordered and eaten and the total bill amount of these dishes, and is equipped with an accounting processing unit that processes the accounting amount, wherein the dishes ordered and eaten include a gift-using dish prepared with at least one or more hometown tax return gifts, or a gift-using set meal that includes one or more of the gift gifts or gift-using dishes, and when a gift-using dish or gift-using set meal from the food menu is entered and ordered from an ordering terminal, the accounting processing unit is configured to display not only the price of the dish and the bill amount, but also the donation amount related to the hometown tax return for the gift-using dish or gift-using set meal, or the refund or deduction amount associated with the donation amount, and is equipped with a hometown tax payment support processing unit that processes the donation amount from the bill amount to the recipient local government.

[0012] The present invention also relates to a meal order accounting system comprising an order processing unit that receives and processes orders for food from an order screen of a terminal that displays a food menu, and an accounting processing unit that displays the total amount of the food ordered by the order processing unit and processes the total amount, wherein the food menu of the order processing unit includes at least one hometown tax donation return gift dish prepared using at least one or more hometown tax donation return gifts, or a return gift return gift set meal that includes one or more of the return gifts or return gift return gift dishes, and wherein when an order for a return gift return gift dish or a return gift return gift set meal on the food menu is transmitted from the terminal, the accounting processing unit or the order processing unit is configured to display not only the price of the dish and the total amount, but also the hometown tax donation amount for the return gift return gift dish or the return gift return gift set meal, or the refund or deduction amount associated with the donation amount, and wherein the meal order accounting system is provided with a hometown tax donation support processing unit that donates the donation amount from the total amount to the recipient local government. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] The present invention is configured as described above, and therefore allows a customer to select and order from the menu a meal that uses a gift prepared using a hometown tax return gift, or a set meal that includes one or more of the gift items or dishes that use the gift, and the hometown tax donation amount related to the return gift or the refund or deduction amount associated with the donation amount is displayed, and by paying the total bill for the meal that includes these, the customer can also make a hometown tax donation, resulting in an innovative meal order accounting system. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The best mode for carrying out the present invention will now be briefly described with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrating the operation of the present invention.

[0016] For example, based on instructions from or a program of an order processing unit installed on the store server or administrator server, an order screen is displayed on an ordering terminal such as a tablet placed on each table in the store or a smartphone on which the user has loaded a specified app, and when the user selects a dish from the order screen displaying the food menu, adds it to an order cart, and the ordered dish is sent to the order processing unit of the server, the server receives the food order, associates it with the terminal, and sends the ordered dish to the store terminal or kitchen terminal for display.

[0017] The order processing unit also displays the prices of each dish ordered and the total bill on the terminal, and this amount is also displayed on the accounting terminal by the accounting processing unit installed in the server. When the user pays this bill by credit card payment or barcode payment, for example, the accounting unit or the accounting terminal linked to it performs this accounting process.

[0018] In such a meal order accounting processing system, the present invention provides a food menu on the order screen of the order processing unit that includes a gift-use meal prepared using at least one or more hometown tax return gifts, or a gift-use set meal that includes one or more of the return gifts or the gift-use dishes.

[0019] When the dish using the return gift or the set meal using the return gift from the food menu is selected and ordered from the terminal, not only the price of the dish and the total bill amount, but also the donation amount related to hometown tax payment included in the dish using the return gift or the set meal using the return gift or the refund / deduction amount associated with the donation amount are displayed by the accounting processing unit or the order processing unit, and further, the hometown tax payment support processing unit installed in the store's server donates the donation amount from the bill amount to the recipient local government.

[0020] In this case, it is desirable that the menu for dishes that include the aforementioned return gifts be configured to display in advance the fact that they are return gifts, as well as the local government (not limited to one) to which the hometown tax donation is made, the donation amount related to the hometown tax donation, or the refund or deduction amount associated with the donation amount, so that customers can select dishes by recognizing which local government's return gift they want to order, and how reasonable the dish is based on the price of the dish and the donation amount, etc.

[0021] Therefore, customers can select and order a meal prepared using the hometown tax return gift or a set meal using the hometown tax return gift that includes one or more of the return gifts or dishes using the hometown tax return gift, and the hometown tax donation amount for the return gift or the refund or deduction amount associated with the donation amount will be displayed together with the bill when ordering or at least when paying, and by paying the total bill including the total cost of the meal, the system allows customers to make a hometown tax donation through the hometown tax donation support processing unit installed on the store's server.

[0022] In other words, for example, a traveler who is visiting a local area can order a gift dish from that area and immediately eat an appropriate amount, or, for example, at an urban restaurant that serves food made with local ingredients, can order a dish prepared with the gift related to the hometown tax donation or a set meal that includes this gift or the gift dish, and immediately eat an appropriate amount of the gift.The total bill for the food (cost of the food) will include the cooking fee, processing fee, service charge, consumption tax, etc., as well as the donation amount, and at least this donation amount will be displayed on the food menu on the order screen and on the accounting display screen that shows the bill, and by paying the bill including these amounts, the user can also complete the hometown tax donation procedure.

[0023] Therefore, the present invention is an innovative system that allows people to eat the appropriate amount of return gift as a meal at the appropriate time at a reasonable price, and also makes a donation to the local government.

[0024] In addition, the restaurant that provides the food must either stock the hometown tax return gifts in advance or have a transportation system in place to deliver them immediately when a reservation is made or when food is ordered, but if the restaurant is located within the local municipality, it is easy to set up such a transportation system, and by including a popular or attractive return gift that does not require advertising in the food, it becomes reasonable for customers, which can be expected to increase customer numbers and sales, including orders. Also, there may be cases where the local municipality must supply return gifts to the restaurant, even if only in small quantities, but as mentioned above, if the restaurant is located within the local municipality, it will be even easier to supply these return gifts, and even if the restaurant is located far from the local municipality, a good contract with the restaurant can be expected to dramatically increase hometown tax donations.

[0025] Above all, users can use the hometown tax donation system to instantly purchase the desired amount of the gift they want, resulting in a reasonable cost. In other words, they can eat the desired amount of the gift they want at the appropriate time, and at the same time, they can donate the amount of the gift that is clearly displayed when they eat or drink to the local government along with the meal payment, which means they can make hometown tax donations to various local governments without waste, up to their annual limit.

[0026] Therefore, it will be a good thing for stores, local governments, and users alike, and travelers in particular will be able to make effective use of hometown tax donations, which will result in even more effective use and widespread adoption of hometown tax donations. [Example]

[0027] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0028] In this embodiment, a system is implemented in which a customer can eat a dish prepared using a hometown tax return gift or a set meal that includes the return gift at a restaurant (store), and the description of the dish on the menu and the bill details indicate which local government's hometown tax return gift it relates to and how much of the donation it relates to, and by paying for the food they ate, they can donate the hometown tax donation amount for the return gift to that local government.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the system is comprised of an administrator server managed by an administrator, a store server that is managed and controlled by the administrator server via the Internet, a tablet terminal for ordering that is connected to the store server via LAN (and controlled by sending and receiving) and set on each table, or a smartphone terminal that allows a user to load an app on their smartphone that reads and retrieves a code displayed in the store, causing the user's smartphone to send and receive data with the store server and function as an ordering terminal, and a user registration processing unit that can register user information from the terminal.For example, the store server is configured to display an order screen showing a food menu on the terminal, receive orders for dishes from this menu and process the order, and also include an order processing unit that displays the prices of each ordered dish and the total bill, and an accounting processing unit that processes the bill.

[0030] The order processing unit of the meal order accounting system of this embodiment displays the food menu on the order screen via an app on the terminal, and allows food to be ordered by placing it in a cart holder through an ordering operation from this terminal and sending this order data.The order processing unit processes the food order, and controls the sending and receiving of data to display the price of the ordered food and the total bill, and is configured to include a display control unit, order control unit, food accounting processing display unit, etc.

[0031] The accounting processing unit is installed on the store's server, but it may also be installed on the store's accounting terminal, which is controlled in conjunction with the server.This accounting processing unit is equipped with a display control unit, accounting processing unit, payment processing unit, accounting management unit, etc., and is configured to function as an accounting terminal that sends and receives data.

[0032] In this embodiment, the food menu of the order processing unit includes return gift-using dishes prepared using at least one or more hometown tax return gifts or return gift-using set meals that include one or more of the return gifts or return gift-using dishes, and the food menu description displays which local government the return gift belongs to as a hometown tax return gift and how much the donation relates to. Taking this into consideration, the order processing unit is configured to display not only the price of the dish and the total amount, but also the hometown tax return amount or refund / deduction amount associated with the donation amount for the return gift-using dishes and return gift-using set meals on the food menu when the return gift-using dishes or return gift-using set meals are ordered from the terminal.

[0033] Furthermore, the meal order accounting processing system is configured so that a hometown tax donation support processing unit that donates the donation amount from the billing amount to the recipient local government is provided on the store-side server together with the accounting processing unit so as to be linked to the accounting processing unit on the store-side server.

[0034] This tax payment support processing unit is configured so that when the ordered food includes a cooked hometown tax return gift or the return gift itself, the donation amount is displayed on the terminal, and when the accounting processing unit processes the payment from the user including this, in addition to processing the accounting to the bank, etc., it also has a tax payment processing unit that reports donation application information linked to user information in the user registration processing unit to each local government related to the return gift, and a return gift usage reporting processing unit that reports the use of the return gift to the return gift seller, and each institution will then carry out accounting processing, tax payment processing, and sending of necessary documents to the user accordingly.

[0035] Therefore, in this embodiment, for example, the terminal (app) is started or a specified app is acquired and started based on the user's operation or the store manager's operation, and based on instructions from the order processing unit located on the store's server, for example, an order screen showing the food menu is displayed on the terminal and it is put into a waiting state for an order.

[0036] When a user selects a dish from the order screen of this terminal, places it in an order cart holder, and sends the ordered dish to the order processing unit of the store-side server, the food order is associated with the terminal and displayed on the store-side terminal connected to the store-side server, and the ordered dish is sent to and displayed in the kitchen terminal, and the ordered dish is then cooked in the kitchen and served to the user.

[0037] The prices of the ordered dishes received by the order processing unit and the total bill are displayed on the terminal, and when the user pays the bill by credit card or barcode payment, the billing process is carried out by the accounting processing unit installed in the accounting terminal linked to the store server.

[0038] In this embodiment, the food menu on the order screen of the order processing unit includes a menu using at least one or more hometown tax return gifts, or a set menu using a return gift that includes one or more of the return gifts or dishes using the return gifts, and the description of the food menu also includes information about which local government's hometown tax return gift the return gift is related to and how much of the donation it is related to.

[0039] For example, if the return gift is boiled crab, the menu could include the boiled crab itself, crab rice cooked with boiled crab, crab cream croquettes, or a crab meal or crab-filled kaiseki meal that includes these cooked with other ingredients.

[0040] When a dish using the gift or a set meal using the gift from the menu is selected and ordered from the terminal, the order processing unit displays on the terminal not only the total bill amount, which is the total cost of the dishes, but also the hometown tax donation amount included in the dish using the gift and the set meal using the gift, and furthermore, a hometown tax donation support processing unit installed on the store server performs a donation application process to apply the donation amount from the total bill to the recipient local government.

[0041] Therefore, this embodiment is a system that allows a customer to select and order a meal using a hometown tax return gift or a set meal using a hometown tax return gift that includes one or more of the return gifts or dishes using the return gifts, and also displays the hometown tax donation amount for the return gift or the refund or deduction amount associated with the donation amount, and allows a customer to make a hometown tax donation by paying the total bill for the meal including these.

[0042] For example, the total price of a crab kaiseki meal, including the cost of the meal, service charge, consumption tax, etc., is displayed as 5,000 yen, and the return gift of 1 kilogram of boiled crab included in this meal is displayed as a donation of 30,000 yen. If you pay a total of 35,000 yen, that is, if you pay the food and drink cost of 5,000 yen and the donation amount of 30,000 yen (the hometown tax amount that will be given in return as boiled crab worth an effective amount of 10,000 yen), you will be able to eat a crab kaiseki meal worth an effective amount of 15,000 yen for only a small cost of 5,000 yen.

[0043] For example, a tourist can order and eat a dish made with the local gift, such as a local boiled crab dish, when visiting a local area, or can instantly eat a suitable amount of a dish made with the local specialty gift at a restaurant in the city, and the total bill for the meal will include cooking fees, processing fees, service charges, consumption tax, etc., as well as the donation amount, and at least the bill and the donation amount included therein will be displayed, and by paying this bill, the system will not only process the account but also process the hometown tax donation application. For example, the donation amount will be transferred to the local government through a financial institution, and the user will later receive documents containing the one-stop special application form and information necessary for tax filing by mail to the address they registered in advance.

[0044] Therefore, it is an innovative system that allows you to choose the gift dish you want to eat and eat it as a meal on the spot (at a restaurant) at the right time and in the right amount.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate.
