Description

An application for the application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act has been filed. This was posted on the website "https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000019.000083706.html" on February 16, 2023. This invention relates to a method for recommending staffing plans for restaurant establishments. Traditionally, restaurants have implemented POS systems to manage everything from order processing to payment processing. For example, as shown in the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, by using a POS system in a restaurant, the entire process from order processing to accounting can be managed electronically. This makes it easy to later grasp daily sales figures and the attributes of the customers who visit the restaurant, thus contributing to the management of the restaurant. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2005-234782 This is a block diagram showing a system for performing a method for automatically generating time-of-day labor time predictions according to the first embodiment of the present invention.Figure 1 is a functional block diagram showing the server terminal 100.Figure 1 is a functional block diagram showing the store terminal 200.This figure shows an example of store data stored in server 100.This is a flowchart showing a method for learning data such as store sales performance according to the first embodiment of the present invention.This is a flowchart showing a method for generating store sales forecasts and reservation forecasts according to a first embodiment of the present invention.This is an example of a screen displaying daily sales forecasts in a store according to the first embodiment of the present invention.This flowchart shows a method for generating a forecast of required working hours for a store by time of day, according to a first embodiment of the present invention.This is an example of a screen displaying hourly sales forecasts in a store according to the first embodiment of the present invention.This is an example of a screen displaying hourly sales forecasts and required personnel in a store, according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The embodiments described below are not intended to unduly limit the scope of the present invention as described in the claims. Furthermore, not all components shown in the embodiments are necessarily essential components of the present invention. <Structure> Figure 1 is a block diagram showing a system that implements a method for automatically generating a staffing plan according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This system 1 includes, for example, a server terminal 100, store terminals 200A and 200B managed by store users, a store register terminal (POS terminal) 300A, and a store management system 300B, which receive daily sales performance information and shift information from the store's cash register or a management system installed by the store, perform sales forecasts and reservation forecasts based on the acquired information using a predetermined method, and generate the necessary staffing forecasts based on these to create a staffing plan for the store. For the sake of explanation, each terminal is described as a single or specific number, but there is no limit to the number of each. The server terminal 100, store terminals 200A and 200B, store register terminal (POS terminal) 300A, and management system 300B are all connected via network NW1. Network NW consists of the Internet, intranet, wireless LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), etc. The server terminal 100 may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or personal computer, or it may be logically implemented through cloud computing. The store terminals 200A and 200B, the store's cash register terminal (POS terminal) 300A, and the management system 300B implemented by the store are, for example, information processing devices such as personal computers and tablet terminals, but they may also be composed of smartphones, mobile phones, PDAs, etc. In this embodiment, System 1 comprises a server terminal 100, store terminals 200A and 200B, a store register terminal (POS terminal) 300A, and a management system 300B. While the system is described as being configured so that users of each terminal use their respective terminals to operate the server terminal 100, the server terminal 100 may be configured as a standalone unit, and the server terminal itself may be equipped with functions that allow each user to operate it directly. Figure 2 is a functional block diagram of the server terminal 100 shown in Figure 1. The server terminal 100 comprises a communication unit 110, a storage unit 120, and a control unit 130. The communication unit 110 is a communication interface for communicating with the store terminal 200 and the corporate terminal 300 via the network NW1. Communication is performed using a communication pro
