[0080] One or more menus (e.g., 320, 330, 340) are menus included in the menu page and may correspond to menus that consumers can order. For example, consumers can order the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu, the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu, the 'Amatriciana' menu, or the 'Rose Shrimp' menu through the consumer menu page created in correspondence with the editing menu page (300).

[0081] The selected menu (320) may have a selection UI that corresponds to the menu clicked by the seller. In one embodiment, a menu group (310) and one or more menus (e.g., 320, 330, 340) may each include a selection UI. In one embodiment, the seller may select a menu by clicking a selection UI corresponding to the menu group (310) or one or more menus (e.g., 320, 330, 340). For example, the seller may select two menus by clicking a selection UI corresponding to the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu and the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu. The selected menu may be understood as the target menu for the action to edit the display state described below.

[0082] An unselected menu (330) may correspond to a menu whose selection UI has not been clicked by the seller. In one embodiment, the seller can distinguish between a menu to be edited (e.g., selected menu (320)) and a menu not to be edited (e.g., unselected menu (330)) through a selection UI corresponding to each menu.

[0083] In one embodiment, the seller can select all menus included in the menu group (310) by clicking a selection UI corresponding to the menu group (310). For example, the action of the seller clicking a selection UI corresponding to the menu group (310) may correspond to the action of clicking a selection UI corresponding to the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu, the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu, the 'Amatriciana' menu, and the 'Rose Shrimp' menu.

[0084] In one embodiment, a menu that is in a "on sale" state may correspond to a menu whose display state is in a "on sale" state. In one embodiment, a "on sale" display state may correspond to a state in which the name or price of a menu is displayed on a menu page. In one embodiment, a menu that is in a "on sale" state may correspond to a menu in which the inventory of the menu or the ingredients used in the menu is greater than or equal to a preset threshold inventory. For example, in a consumer menu page created in correspondence with the editing menu page (300) shown in FIG. 3, the display state of the "Spicy Carbonara Pasta" menu, the "Tomato and Three Cheeses" menu, and the "Rose Shrimp" menu may be understood as being in a "on sale" state.

[0085] A menu (340) that is out of stock may correspond to a menu whose display state is out of stock. In one embodiment, an out-of-stock display state may correspond to a state in which information such as 'Out of Stock' or 'Out of Stock Today Only' is displayed along with the name or price of the menu. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may set the display state of one or more menus to out of stock based on user input from a seller regarding the editable menu page (300).

[0086] In one embodiment, the out-of-stock menu (340) may correspond to a menu or a menu in which the stock of the ingredients used in the menu is below a preset threshold stock. For example, if the stock of the 'Amatriciana' menu or the stock of the ingredients used in the 'Amatriciana' menu runs out, the processor (210) may display information such as 'Out of Stock' or 'Out of Stock Today Only' in the area corresponding to the 'Amatriciana' menu on the menu page.

[0087] The display state release UI (350) may be a UI for initializing the display state. In one embodiment, the display state release UI (350) may be displayed for each of the menus whose display state is out of stock or hidden, as described below. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may change the display state of the target menu to a "on sale" state through user input from the seller regarding the display state release UI (350). For example, since the "Amatriciana" menu has a display state of out of stock, the "Amatriciana" menu on the editing menu page (300) may have the display state release UI (350) displayed together with it. Additionally, the processor (210) may change the display state of the "Amatriciana" menu to a "on sale" state based on user input from the seller regarding the display state release UI (350) of the "Amatriciana" menu.

[0088] The edit banner (360) may be a UI for editing the display status of a menu. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may change the display status of one or more menus selected by the selection UI based on user input from a seller entered into the edit banner (360). For example, when the processor (210) receives user input corresponding to a request to change to a sold-out status through the edit banner (360) while the selection UI of the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu is clicked, the processor (210) may change the display status of the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu to a sold-out status.

[0089] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing an editing banner for editing the display state of a menu according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The processor (210) can edit the display state of one or more menus based on user input from a seller for one or more menus.

[0090] The editing menu page (400) may include an editing banner (410) or an application UI (420). In one embodiment, the editing menu page (400) illustrated in FIG. 4 may be the editing menu page (400) displayed when a seller clicks an editing banner (360) after clicking a selection UI for one or more menus in the editing menu page (300) illustrated in FIG. 3. For example, the editing menu page (400) illustrated in FIG. 4 may correspond to the page displayed on the seller terminal (120) when a seller clicks a dropdown UI of an editing banner (360) after clicking a selection UI for the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu in the editing menu page (300) illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0091] The edit banner (410) may include a UI for selecting the display state of the menu. In one embodiment, the edit banner (410) may correspond to the edit banner (360) of FIG. 3. That is, the edit banner (410) of FIG. 4 may correspond to the state where the dropdown UI of the edit banner (360) of FIG. 3 is clicked by the seller. In one embodiment, the display state of the menu that can be set by the edit banner (410) may include a state of sale, a state of being out of stock, a state of being out of stock only today, or a hidden state.

[0092] The application UI (420) may be a UI for applying the selected display state from the editing banner (410) to the menu. For example, if a seller clicks the selection UI for the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu, clicks the UI corresponding to 'Sold Out Today Only' in the editing banner (410), and then clicks the application UI (420), the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu displayed on the menu page may also display the information that it is 'Sold Out Today Only'. In one embodiment, if a seller clicks the selection UI for each of a plurality of menus or menu groups and changes the display state through the editing banner (410), the processor (210) may change the display state of the selected plurality of menus together.

[0093] In one embodiment, the processor (210) can determine the order conditions of a menu when changing the display status of the menu to a hidden state or out of stock based on user input from a seller. For example, if a menu page contains only the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu for 18,000 won and the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu for 12,800 won, and there is an order condition that the minimum order amount is 15,000 won, then if the display status of the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu for 18,000 won is changed to an out of stock or hidden state, the consumer must order two or more 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menus. This is because only the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu, which corresponds to a price lower than the minimum order amount, remains on the menu page. Accordingly, the processor (210) can generate an order condition change or display status reconfirmation notification message in response to user input from a seller who intends to change the display status of the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu to an out of stock state and provide it to the seller terminal (120). In one embodiment, the order conditions may be understood to include conditions regarding the delivery amount or conditions regarding mandatory selection menus of option menus.

[0094] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing an editing menu page for editing the display state of a hidden menu according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. A hidden menu (e.g., 530, 540) may correspond to a menu whose display state is hidden. In one embodiment, the hidden state may include a state in which one or more menus are excluded from the consumer menu page for a hiding period. In this case, the hiding period may be determined based on the hiding period information received through the seller's user input. That is, a hidden menu (e.g., 530, 540) whose display state is hidden may be displayed on the editing menu page (500) but not on the consumer menu page.

[0095] In one embodiment, the processor (210) may determine the display status of one or more menus to be "on sale" based on the hidden period information received from the seller and the actual date. For example, if the processor (210) receives hidden period information from the seller that the hidden period of a hidden menu (e.g., 530, 540) is set to 10 days, the processor (210) may change the display status of the hidden menu (e.g., 530, 540) to "on sale" after 10 days have passed from the reference date. That is, the processor (210) may switch the display status of the hidden menu (e.g., 530, 540) to "on sale" after the hidden period has expired.

[0096] In one embodiment, the processor (210) can filter the menus displayed on the editing menu page (500) based on user input from a seller regarding the ‘All’ filtering UI, ‘Out of Stock Today’ filtering UI, or ‘Hidden’ filtering UI (510) of the editing menu page (500). For example, the processor (210) can make only menus that are in a hidden state be displayed on the editing menu page (500) based on user input regarding the ‘Hidden’ filtering UI (510). In one embodiment, the editing menu page (500) may also display a menu group (e.g., 520) corresponding to the filtered menu (e.g., 530).

[0097] In one embodiment, the editing menu page (500) may include an 'all' filtering UI, an 'out of stock today only' filtering UI, a 'hidden' filtering UI (510), a menu group (520), a hidden menu (e.g., 530, 540), or an editing banner (550). In one embodiment, the editing menu page (500) may be a page in which, based on user input to the 'hidden' filtering UI, only menus that are in a hidden state among the menus included in the menu page are displayed.

[0098] The menu group (520) may include a menu whose display state is hidden. In one embodiment, if the menu group (520) does not contain a menu whose display state is hidden, the menu group (520) may not be displayed on the editing menu page (500). In one embodiment, when the selection UI of the menu group (520) is selected, a hidden menu (530) whose display state is hidden, included in the menu group (520), may be selected.

[0099] Hidden menus (e.g., 530, 540) may correspond to menus whose display status is hidden. In one example, hidden menus (e.g., 530, 540) may be displayed on the editing menu pages (e.g., 300, 400, 500), but may not be displayed on the consumer menu pages.

[0100] The edit banner (550) may include a UI for selecting the display state of the menu. The operation of the edit banner (550) of FIG. 5 can be understood as similar to the operation of the edit banner (360) of FIG. 3 or the edit banner (410) of FIG. 4, and redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0101] In one embodiment, when a seller clicks the selection UI of each of a plurality of menus or menu groups and changes the display state through the edit banner (550), the processor (210) can change the display state of the selected plurality of menus together. For example, when a seller clicks the selection UI of a menu group (520) and clicks the selection UI of one hidden menu (540), two hidden menus (530, 540) may be selected. At this time, when the seller requests a change to the "On Sale" display state through user input to the edit banner (550), the processor (210) can change the display state of the two selected hidden menus (530, 540) to the "On Sale" state.

[0102] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing an editable menu page displaying period information or inventory information according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The "On Sale" status may include a state displaying a period during which sales are possible or a state displaying a quantity available for sale. Additionally, the "Out of Stock" status may include a state displaying a period during which sales are not possible. In one embodiment, the seller's user input may include the input of period information corresponding to the period during which sales are possible or the period during which sales are not possible.

[0103] The editing menu page (600) may be an editing menu page that displays period information or inventory information. In one embodiment, the editing menu page (600) may include a menu (610) that displays sales availability period information, a menu (620) that displays sales availability quantity information, or a menu (630) that displays sales non-sales period information. In one embodiment, the menu (610) that displays sales availability period information, the menu (620) that displays sales availability quantity information, or the menu (630) that displays sales non-sales period information of the editing menu page (600) may be understood as being set in response to user input regarding the editing banner (360). That is, the seller may provide sales availability period information, sales availability quantity information, or sales non-sales period information to the processor (210) through user input regarding the editing banner (360).

[0104] In one embodiment, the menu (610) displaying sales availability period information, the menu (620) displaying sales availability quantity information, or the menu (630) displaying sales non-sale period information displayed on the editing menu page (600) may also be displayed on the consumer menu page. This allows the seller to determine whether to edit a menu. Additionally, the consumer can obtain information about the service status of the menus and predict it.

[0105] A menu (610) that displays information on the available sales period may correspond to a menu that displays the period during which it can be served. For example, a seller may classify the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu as a seasonal limited menu and want to sell it for 7 days. In this case, the processor (210) may display information such as '7-day limited sale' along with the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu displayed on the menu page.

[0106] In one embodiment, information such as '7-day limited sale' may be modified over time to '6-day limited sale' or '1-day limited sale'. That is, the period information may be automatically edited over time based on actual time. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may calculate the period information, reference date, and the number of elapsed days of the actual date received from the seller's user input to change and display the period of the limited sale information.

[0107] In one embodiment, the processor (210) may determine the display status of one or more menus to be out of stock or hidden based on period information entered by the seller and actual dates. For example, the processor (210) may change the display status of the menu to hidden or out of stock when 7 days have passed from the reference date for a menu such as 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' which displays information such as '7-day limited sale'. For example, the processor (210) may change the display status of the season-limited menu to hidden or out of stock when the sales period of the season-limited menu ends. That is, the display status of the season-limited menu can be edited by the processor (210) even if the seller does not directly change the display status of the menu in response to the end of the sales period of the season-limited menu.

[0108] A menu (620) displaying information on the quantity available for sale may correspond to a menu displaying the quantity of menu items that can be served. In one embodiment, the seller's user input may include the input of inventory information on the quantity of menu items that can be served, and the quantity available for sale may be determined based on the inventory information. For example, if there are 3 remaining items of the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu, the seller may input inventory information into the editable menu page (600) and request the processor (210) to display information such as '3 remaining'. In this case, the processor (210) may display information such as '3 remaining' along with the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu displayed on the menu page.

[0109] In one embodiment, the processor (210) may calculate the number of orders for one or more menus and determine the display status of one or more menus as out of stock or hidden based on inventory information and the number of orders. For example, the processor (210) may receive inventory information from a seller that there are 7 remaining stock of the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu, and if the same menu is ordered 4 times by a consumer, information such as '3 remaining' may be displayed together with the 'Tomato and Three Cheeses' menu displayed on the menu page.

[0110] In one embodiment, the inventory information may include inventory information of the ingredients. Accordingly, the processor (210) may display the available quantity of the menu in which the ingredients are used based on the inventory information of the ingredients. For example, if the processor (210) receives inventory information from a seller that there are 4 units of cheese remaining in stock, it may display information such as "2 remaining" for the "Spicy Carbonara Pasta" menu, which uses 2 units of cheese. Additionally, the processor (210) may display information such as "1 remaining" for the "Tomato and Three Cheeses" menu, which uses 4 units of cheese. In one embodiment, the inventory information may be updated in conjunction with the order information.

[0111] A menu (630) displaying information about the period during which sales are not possible may correspond to a menu displaying a period during which service is unavailable. For example, if a seller cannot obtain ingredients for the 'Amatriciana' menu until 3:00 PM, they may want to sell the 'Amatriciana' menu after 3:00 PM. In this case, the processor (210) may display information such as 'Not available for sale until 15:00' along with the 'Amatriciana' menu displayed on the menu page.

[0112] In one embodiment, the out-of-stock status may include a state that displays information on the period during which sales are not possible. In this case, the processor (210) may determine the period during which sales are not possible based on the seller's user input.

[0113] In one embodiment, the processor (210) may determine the display status of one or more menus to be in sale based on information regarding the period of non-sale and the actual date. For example, the processor (210) may change the display status of the menu to be in sale when it becomes 3:00 PM for a menu of ‘Amatriciana’ that has information such as ‘not in sale until 15:00’ displayed.

[0114] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a notification message regarding a display status according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. A processor (210) may generate a notification message regarding a display status based on period information, actual date or inventory information and transmit it to a seller terminal (120) or a consumer terminal (130). In one embodiment, the transmitted notification message may be displayed on an editable menu page (700) or a consumer menu page. This allows the seller to know when and how to edit the menu page in response to the notification message. That is, the seller can efficiently process the ordering of ingredients for the menu or the management of the menu page, and can quickly identify the status of the menu in service, etc.

[0115] The editing menu page (700) may include an unhidden imminent notification message (710), a sales start imminent notification message (720), a sales end imminent notification message (730), or a sold-out imminent notification message (740). The unhidden imminent notification message (710), sales start imminent notification message (720), sales end imminent notification message (730), or sold-out imminent notification message (740) shown on the editing menu page (700) of FIG. 7 may be displayed separately over time, or multiple notification messages may be displayed together.

[0116] The unhidden notification message (710) may be a notification message indicating that the display status of a specific menu displayed on a menu page may be switched from a hidden state to a non-hidden state over time. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may generate an unhidden notification message based on the hiding period information and the actual date, and transmit the unhidden notification message to the seller terminal (120). For example, the seller may check the notification message that the 'Alio Olio' menu will soon be unhidden. If the 'Alio Olio' menu is not yet available for sale, the seller may request the processor (210) via an editing banner (360) to change the display status of the 'Alio Olio' menu to a sold-out state.

[0117] The sales start imminent notification message (720) may be a notification message indicating that the display status of a specific menu displayed on a menu page may be switched to a sales state over time. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may generate a sales start imminent notification message based on the sales unavailable period information and actual date received from the seller, and transmit the sales start imminent notification message to the seller terminal (120) or consumer terminal (130). For example, the seller may check a notification message indicating that the 'Amatriciana' menu will soon be available for sale. If the 'Amatriciana' menu is not yet available for sale, the seller may request the processor (210) via an edit banner (360) to make the display status of the 'Amatriciana' menu hidden or out of stock.

[0118] The sales end imminent notification message (730) may be a notification message indicating that the display status of a specific menu displayed on a menu page may be switched to a sold-out or hidden state over time. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may generate a sales end imminent notification message based on period information and actual dates received from the seller, and transmit the sales end imminent notification message to the seller terminal (120) or consumer terminal (130). For example, the seller may see a notification message indicating that the 'Spicy Carbonara Pasta' menu will soon be sold out.

[0119] The "Sold Out Soon" notification message (740) may be a notification message indicating that the display status of a specific menu displayed on a menu page may be switched to a sold-out state over time. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may calculate the number of orders for one or more menus and generate a "Sold Out Soon" notification message based on inventory information and the number of orders. Additionally, the processor (210) may transmit the "Sold Out Soon" notification message to a seller terminal (120) or a consumer terminal (130). For example, the seller may check the notification message that the "Rose Shrimp" menu will soon be sold out, reconfirm the inventory of the "Rose Shrimp" menu, or request the processor (210) via an edit banner (360) to make the display status of the "Rose Shrimp" menu hidden or sold out after a certain period of time.

[0120] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an edit request notification message according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. A processor (210) may generate an edit request notification message (810) requesting an edit of the display state for one or more menus, and transmit the edit request notification message (810) to a seller terminal (120).

[0121] The menu page for editing (800) may include an editing request notification message (810). In one embodiment, the processor (210) may generate and transmit an editing request notification message (810) to the seller terminal (120) when a reference time has passed since the time the menu page was updated. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may generate and transmit an editing request notification message (810) to the seller terminal (120) when the display state of at least one menu is automatically edited or when the display state of at least one menu is scheduled to be automatically edited. For example, when the sales period of a season-limited menu ends, the processor (210) may change the display state of the season-limited menu to a hidden state or a sold-out state, and may generate and transmit an editing request notification message (810) to the seller terminal (120).

[0122] In one embodiment, the processor (210) receives order information for one or more menus and, based on the order information, can generate an edit request notification message. In this case, the order information may include the number of orders, the time of the order, the order history, or the order type. By doing so, the seller can perform efficient management of menu pages during times or seasons when menu orders increase, or efficient management of popular menus. That is, the seller can minimize errors in the information displayed on the consumer menu page through the notification message provided by the processor (210).

[0123] FIG. 9 is a step flowchart illustrating a method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. A method for editing the display state of a menu according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed by a device (110). The present method may include the steps of: generating a first menu page including one or more menus (S900); providing the first menu page to a first terminal of a user (S910); receiving user input for one or more menus from the first terminal (S920); editing the display state of one or more menus based on user input for one or more menus (S930); generating a second menu page based on the first menu page in which the display state of one or more menus has been edited (S940); and providing the second menu page to a second terminal of another user (S950).

[0124] In step (S900), the processor (210) may generate a first menu page containing one or more menus. In step (S910), the processor (210) may provide the first menu page to a user's first terminal. In step (S920), the processor (210) may receive user input for one or more menus from the first terminal. In step (S930), the processor (210) may edit the display state of one or more menus based on the user input for one or more menus. In step (S940), the processor (210) may generate a second menu page based on the first menu page in which the display state of one or more menus has been edited. In step (S950), the processor (210) may provide the second menu page to another user's second terminal.

[0125] In the step (S900) of generating a first menu page including one or more menus, the first menu page may be a page for editing a page in which information regarding a food ordering service is displayed. For example, the processor (210) may generate an editable menu page for editing a menu page displayed on a consumer terminal (130).

[0126] In the step (S910) of providing a first menu page to a user's first terminal, the processor (210) may generate an edit request notification message requesting an edit to the display state of one or more menus and transmit the edit request notification message to the first terminal. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may receive order information for one or more menus and generate an edit request notification message based on the order information. In one embodiment, the order information may include the number of orders, the time of the order, the order history, or the order type.

[0127] In the step (S920) of receiving user input for one or more menus from the first terminal, the user input may include various forms of user input for the editing menu page (300). In one embodiment, the user input may include drag input, tab input, double tab input, or pan input for the UI included in the editing menu page (300). Additionally, the user input may include voice input, image upload, or text input for the UI included in the editing menu page (300). For example, the processor (210) may edit the display state of the menu to content corresponding to the entered text through text input for the seller's editing banner (360).

[0128] In the step (S930) of editing the display status of one or more menus based on user input for one or more menus, the display status may include a status of being on sale, a status of being out of stock, or a status of being hidden. In one embodiment, the status of being on sale may include a status that displays a sales availability period or a status that displays a sales availability quantity. In one embodiment, the user input may include the input of first period information, and the sales availability period may be determined based on the first period information. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may determine the display status of one or more menus as a status of being out of stock or a hidden status based on the first period information and an actual date. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may generate a sales end imminent notification message based on the first period information and an actual date and transmit the sales end imminent notification message to a first terminal or a second terminal.

[0129] In one embodiment, user input includes input of inventory information, and the available quantity for sale may be determined based on the inventory information. In one embodiment, the processor (210) calculates the number of orders for one or more menus and determines the display status of one or more menus as out of stock or hidden based on the inventory information and the number of orders. In one embodiment, the processor (210) calculates the number of orders for one or more menus, generates an imminent out-of-stock notification message based on the inventory information and the number of orders, and transmits the imminent out-of-stock notification message to a first terminal or a second terminal. In one embodiment, the inventory information includes inventory information of materials, and the processor (210) may display the available quantity for sale of the menu using the materials on the menu page based on the inventory information of the materials.

[0130] In one embodiment, user input includes input of second period information, and the out-of-stock status includes a state indicating a period of non-sale, and the non-sale period may be determined based on the second period information. In one embodiment, the processor (210) may determine the display status of one or more menus to be in sale based on the second period information and an actual date.

[0131] In one embodiment, the hidden state may include a state in which one or more menus are excluded from the second menu page during the hidden period. In one embodiment, user input includes input of third period information, and the hidden period may be determined based on the third period information.
