Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to information technology products used in restaurants, in particular to a table companion and its information system. Background technique [0002] With the advent of the digital age, various digital information technology products for restaurants have emerged, such as wireless orderers, touch screen orderers, electronic recipes, service pagers, private room VOD (video on demand) systems, etc. . [0003] After adopting the wireless ordering system, the waiters or customers of the restaurant can order food on various order devices, and then send the order information directly to the kitchen through the wireless network and print it out to the chef, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the restaurant. [0004] The earliest product to appear was a miniature hand-held ordering device (often called "ordering treasure") used by waiters.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] The first product needs AC power supply and cannot be moved, and there is no AC power supply in the lobby of most restaurants, so the scope of application is very narrow, and it can only be used in private rooms of restaurants

In addition, each table needs to be equipped with one, and the cost of a single machine is also high.

[0008] The second product has a lower cost, but because of its small size, it is easy to be stolen (some products are tied to the dining table by cables in order to prevent theft, which obviously limits the freedom of use of customers); It is easy to drop on the ground and break, and it takes up a large table area, and it is easy to spill wine on the product when eating

Another serious problem is that the display size is too small, so it can't replace the restaurant's existing gorgeous large-format paper menus.

If the screen size of this product exceeds 12 inches, it is difficult to use because it occupies too much space, is too heavy, and is more likely to break, so it can only be a small-size display

[0009] The third product requires AC power and needs to modify the dining table, so it is also difficult to use widely

[0010] When using the first product, you need to keep raising your arms to touch it, which is tiring, and only the person sitting next to the touch screen can operate it

The second type must be operated in front of your eyes due to its small size, so only one or two people can operate it, and everyone needs to take turns ordering, which is relatively inefficient

[0012] For several of the above reasons, no product has been widely used so far, although there are many benefits to allowing customers to order their own food
