Abstract

An order receiving apparatus comprises a first storage section configured to store an amount obtained by adding up the prices of the menu items the order on which is received and a second storage section configured to store an amount obtained by adding up the prices of the menu items the order on which is determined. The apparatus adds the price of each menu item to the first storage section every time the order on the menu item is received, adds the amount in the first storage section to the second storage section in response to the determination of the order, and then clears the first storage section. The apparatus outputs the amounts stored in the first and second storage sections.

Claims

1. An order receiving apparatus, comprising:

an order receiving unit configured to receive an order on menu items;

an order determination unit configured to determine the order on the menu items received by the order receiving unit;

an order output unit configured to output, to a server, the data of the menu items the order on which is determined by the order determination unit;

a first storage section configured to store an amount obtained by adding up the prices of the menu items the order on which is received by the order receiving unit;

a second storage section configured to store an amount obtained by adding up the prices of the menu items the order on which is determined by the order determination unit;

a price processing unit configured to add the price of each menu item to the first storage section every time the order on the menu item is received by the order receiving unit, add the amount stored in the first storage section to the second storage section in response to the determination of the order carried out by the order determination unit, and clear the first storage section; and

an amount output unit configured to output the amounts stored in the first and second storage sections.

2. The order receiving apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the amount output unit outputs the total amount of the amount stored in the first storage section and the amount stored in the second storage section.

3. The order receiving apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising:

a display section configured to display a list screen of menu items the order on which can be received by the order receiving unit;

wherein

the amount output unit displays the total amount of the amounts stored in the first and second storage sections on a part of the list screen in a tab form.

4. The order receiving apparatus according to claim 3, wherein

the amount output unit displays the total amount of the amounts stored in the first and second storage sections on a part of the list screen in a tab form, and

displays the amounts stored in the first and second storage sections on the list screen in response to the sliding operation of the tab.

5. The order receiving apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a user specification unit configured to specify a user ordering menu items;

wherein

the first storage section stores an amount obtained by adding up the prices of the menu items the order on which is received from a user for each user specified by the user specification unit, and

the second storage section stores an amount obtained by adding up the prices of the menu items the order on which is received and determined from a user for each user specified by the user specification unit.

6. The order receiving apparatus according to claim 5, wherein

the amount output unit outputs
