(Registration waiting for waiting)
Next, the waiting-order reception registration process by the order management system 1000 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. A user who visits a facility (in this case, a repair shop A) accepts it remotely from his / her home or wherever he / she is by operating the order management terminal 200 installed at the store or his / her own mobile terminal. You can register. When performing reception registration with its own portable terminal, a facility (repair shop A) that is desired to be used is selected via a dedicated application or website, and a reception screen for the facility is displayed. Thereafter, the same procedure as in the case of registering using the order management terminal 200 can be performed. Here, a case where registration is performed using the order management terminal 200 will be described as an example.

  First, the order management terminal 200 receives information included in the waiting list registered in the status management table TA2 from the order management server 100 via the communication interface 220 (step S31).

  Next, the order management terminal 200 causes the display device 216 to display an acceptance screen for accepting an order waiting (step S32). On the reception screen, for example, a list in which the information of the waiting list (the reception number of the person waiting for the turn and the current status information) is arranged in time series in the order of reception is displayed. In addition, the number of waiting groups currently waiting for the order is displayed.

  When the user performs a predetermined operation input on the displayed reception screen and the input of information necessary for reception of waiting for the order is completed (step S33: YES), the order management terminal 200 displays the reception completion screen ( Step S34). On the reception completion screen, a reception number (waiting number), a waiting time at the present time, and the like are displayed. In addition, a message prompting to receive a turn ticket is displayed, and the user can receive a turn ticket printed from a printer connected to the turn management terminal 200.

  A two-dimensional code associated with the receipt number is printed on the turn ticket. By reading the two-dimensional code printed on the turn ticket using the user's own mobile terminal, the user's current waiting state (current number of waiting groups and expected waiting time) is displayed on the display device of the mobile terminal. Etc.) is displayed. In addition, users can receive telephone or e-mail messages when the order arrives, or the order approaches when the order arrives by entering the phone number or e-mail address according to the guidance displayed by reading the two-dimensional code. Sometimes you can receive remind messages.

  The confirmed new registration information is transmitted from the order management terminal 200 to the order management server 100 via the communication network N (step S35). When the order management server 100 receives new registration information from a certain facility, the order management server 100 performs a process of newly adding a set of waiting orders to the order waiting list of the facility, based on the received new registration information, and stores the status management table TA2. Update (step S36).

(Update waiting list)
The contents of each record in the waiting list of each facility are updated when the facility employee performs operations such as “cancel”, “change”, “call”, “guidance” using the order management terminal 200. The “Cancel” means canceling the waiting order, and “change” means changing the contents of the waiting order once input. In addition, “call” means that the group that has been ordered is called verbally or informed by telephone or call mail. “Guidance” actually corresponds to the group that has been ordered. It means that it is in the state which started.

  The employee selects the waiting group to be updated from the waiting list displayed on the order management terminal 200, and any one of “call”, “cancel”, and “change” is selected for the selected waiting group. Perform the update operation. Information (for example, reception number “1”) for specifying the order waiting group to be updated and update operation information (for example, “call”) are uploaded from the order management terminal 200 to the order management server 100 via the communication network N. . The order management server 100 updates the waiting list for the facility based on the received information. For example, when a “calling” operation is performed on the reception number “1”, the status of the waiting group in the reception number “1” is updated to “calling”.

(Survey)
Next, questionnaire processing by the order management system 1000 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.

  The questionnaire terminal 300 acquires information on the reception number of the group whose status is “waiting” from the order waiting group registered in the waiting list from the order management server 100 (step S101).

  Next, the questionnaire terminal 300 displays a list of acquired receipt numbers on the display device 330 (step S102). FIG. 5 is a diagram exemplifying a display screen for a list of reception numbers of pairs waiting for the order displayed on the display device 330. As shown in FIG. 5, the reception numbers are displayed in the order of reception, and each reception number can be selected by touch.

  Next, an operator or the like of the facility performs an operation (such as a touch operation on the touch panel) to select one of the reception numbers displayed on the display device 330 (step S103). The employee selects the reception number of the user who has completed reception registration, and gives the questionnaire terminal 300 to the user of the selected reception number. The user's reception number can be confirmed by, for example, a turn ticket received by the user. Further, when the questionnaire terminal 300 is handed over immediately after registration, it can be dealt with by selecting the most recently registered reception number. When a plurality of questionnaire terminals 300 are installed, by selecting different reception numbers at the respective questionnaire terminals 300, it is possible to have a plurality of users waiting at the same time answer questions.

  When the questionnaire terminal 300 detects the reception number selection operation, the questionnaire terminal 300 displays an answer input screen for the question items on the display device 330 (step S104). FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an answer input screen. As shown in FIG. 6, a question item and a format for selecting and filling in an answer to the question are displayed. On the answer input screen, in addition to answers to various questions, the customer's customer number (member card number, etc.) can also be entered. The customer number may be input directly, or may be input by reading the barcode of the membership card with a barcode reader or the like provided in the questionnaire terminal 300.

  When the questionnaire terminal 300 detects that the answer completion has been completed by operating the input completion button or the like, the questionnaire terminal 300 transmits the selected reception number and the contents of the inputted answer to the order management server 100 (step S105).

  The order management server 100 creates a record of the received receipt number in the questionnaire response management table TA3, and records the content of the received response (step S106).

  Furthermore, when the customer number is included in the information received from the questionnaire terminal 300, the order management server 100 records the received response content in the customer information management database 400 (step S107).

(Update questionnaire contents from customer service terminal)
Next, processing during customer service by the order management system 1000 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.

  When the turn comes to the turn waiting group registered in the turn waiting list, information about the turn waiting group is transmitted from the turn management server 100 to the customer service terminal 500 (step S201). Specifically, in addition to the reception number and information such as remarks information and name registered at the time of reception registration, the contents of the answer to the question items registered in the questionnaire response management table TA3 are transmitted.

  The customer service terminal 500 displays the received order waiting group information on the display device 530 (step S202). The employee who handles the customer adds or corrects the answer contents to the question items displayed on the display device 530 as necessary while checking and explaining the repair contents (step S203).

  When the addition or correction of the answer contents to the questionnaire is completed and the employee operates the edit completion button, the edited contents are transmitted to the order management server 100 via the communication interface 540 (step S204).

  The order management server 100 updates the answer contents of the order waiting group registered in the questionnaire answer management table TA3 to the received edited contents (step S205). If the customer number has been input, the contents of the updated answer are also recorded in the customer information management database 400.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the questionnaire terminal 300 is handed over to the user who has received it, and the questions are answered during the waiting time. In this way, since it is possible to answer using a dedicated terminal while waiting for an order, the answer is calmer than when answering a question using the order management terminal 200 during registration. can do.

  In addition, the questionnaire terminal 300 displays a list of reception numbers of pairs waiting for the turn, and when an employee or the like selects a reception number from the list, displays a format for entering an answer. Further, when the input of the answer is completed, the reception number and the response content are transmitted to the order management server 100, and the order management server 100 records the reception number and the response content in association with each other. Thereby, it is possible to efficiently manage the answer contents in association with the waiting group.

  In addition, during the customer service, the response content can be viewed on the service terminal 500 and the response content can be updated from the service terminal 500. Even when supplementation or correction is required for the contents, it is possible to respond efficiently.

  In addition, since the user is requested to input the customer number using the questionnaire terminal 300 and the response content is recorded as a history in the customer information management database 400, the response content to the question item is effectively used as the customer information. Can be used.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For this reason, the said embodiment is only a mere illustration in all points, and is not interpreted limitedly. For example, the above-described processing steps can be arbitrarily changed in order as long as the processing contents do not contradict each other, or can be executed in parallel.
