Applicable Scenarios and Operational Pain Points of Self-service Ordering in Canteen

The typical characteristics of the canteen are "centralized dining time, centralized passenger flow and centralized settlement pressure": most of the passengers flow into the whole day within half an hour to one hour during the main meal period, the manual cash register at the window processes orders in a serial manner, queuing during the peak period is inevitable, and the cash register positions continue to occupy manpower. The QUNMAO canteen self-service ordering scheme matches different deployment priorities according to canteen types, transforming "centralized flow of people" into "parallel terminal capabilities".

Four types of typical canteens and program focus

Canteen typeTypical problemProgramme focus
Enterprise/Park CanteenThe lunch peak is concentrated, the window is lined up, and the cashier is labor-intensive.More than one vertical ordering machine side by side, batch ordering, split queue
Factory CanteenThe number of diners is large, the time window is short, and the environment is oily and steam.Industrial-grade structure, docking employee cards, fast settlement
School cafeteriaAfter class, the crowd is concentrated, and the dining crowd has different operating habits.Easy-to-use touch, docking campus accounts, reducing manual cash register
Institutional canteensThe stalls are scattered, with separate cashier, making it difficult to unify the data.Wall hanging/vertical deployment in front of the stall, unified settlement and background management

Comparison of manual cash register and self-service ordering operation

Comparison dimensionManual window cash registerQUNMAO Self-service ordering machine
Queuing modeSingle window serial processing, peak order backlogMultiple terminals shunt in parallel, serving multiple dining staff at the same time
Settlement linkDependence on cashier proficiency and physical strengthStandardized self-service process, fixed and guided operation path
Human resource inputEach stall/window shall be equipped with full-time cashierThe dining staff completed the self-service, and the window staff turned to the meal and service.
Order and DataManual records, easy to make mistakes, difficult statisticsAutomatic system records, unified background management, reconciliation
Peak expansionAdding staff increases scheduling costs and is difficult to put in place in the short term.Increasing equipment means expanding capacity, once put into long-term use.
Operational TransparencyThe stalls are fragmented and the data is scattered.Multi-port order concentration for easy accounting and assessment

Four types of core problems to be solved by the scheme

peak queuing

Multiple terminals order meals in parallel, split the window queue, shorten the waiting time; The number of meals that can be served per unit time during peak hours is determined by the number of terminals, and the configuration is flexible and can be expanded on demand.

Manpower occupancy

Ordering and cashier are completed by the dining staff on their own, and the window staff turn to serving and serving. Reduce full-time cashier posts and ease the recruitment difficulties and scheduling pressure in canteens.

Settlement efficiency

Code scanning, card swiping, NFC and employee card settlement, batch processing of centralized dining orders; The integration of payment and identity verification shortens the operation time of a single person.

Decentralized management

Multiple orders enter the background in a unified way, and the data is managed centrally. Dishes, prices, orders and reports are closed in the same system, and the management caliber is consistent.

Scheme Architecture of Self-service Ordering System in QUNMAO Canteen

The canteen self-service ordering scheme consists of four layers: ordering terminal, payment and identity verification, ticket issuing and stall issuing, and software background, and can be superimposed to call number to pick up the meal. QUNMAO is responsible for the delivery of hardware and system, and the software is flexibly selected according to the customer's situation, forming the overall architecture of "hardware standardization and software adaptation.

Cafeteria self-service ordering machine deployment mode and terminal number planning

The core of the canteen deployment is to "divide the concentrated flow of people into enough terminals". QUNMAO provides three deployment modes according to the distribution of canteen space and stalls, and uses peak measured data to guide terminal number planning to avoid less queuing and more waste.

Three deployment modes

Deployment modeMethodSuitable for canteenRecommended Form
Centralized ordering areaSet up an ordering area at the entrance or hall of the canteen, and multiple units will order and settle the accounts side by side in a unified way.Single hall, concentrated stream of peopleVertical ordering machine
Pre-stall deploymentDistribute and deploy in front of each stall, order and eat nearby.Multi-gear, moving line dispersionWall-mounted or vertical ordering machine
Hybrid deploymentAuxiliary terminal at stalls in centralized ordering areaLarge canteen, multi-floorVertical wall mount

Terminal Quantity Planning Method

Number of terminals required ≈ person-times of ordering during peak hours ÷ (person-times per minute processed by a single unit × peak minutes). The number of people handled by a single unit is related to the ordering software, payment method and dining habits used. It is recommended to use a prototype to determine the number of units after actual measurement during real peak hours, and then reserve a buffer by 10%-20%.

Quantity Measurement Example

Known conditions (example)

The peak lasts 45 minutes. About 1,500 people eat at peak; The prototype measured about 4 person-times/minute for a single machine.

Calculation process

1,500 ÷(4 × 45)≈ 8.3 units, I .e. at least 8-9 units are required for parallel processing during peak hours.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Rounding and reserving buffer according to 10%-20%, it is recommended to configure 9-11 units; The specific number of units is subject to the actual peak measurement.

Key Points of Line Planning

Queuing buffer

Queuing space is reserved in front of the ordering machine to avoid occupying the main passage and ensure smooth moving lines during peak hours.

Separation of ordering and taking meals

The ordering area and the dining area are set separately to reduce cross congestion and make the dining order more controllable.

Power and Network Reservation

The power supply and network port are reserved according to the number of terminals, which is convenient for unified wiring, centralized power supply and subsequent maintenance.

QUNMAO vertical canteen ordering machine configuration scheme

The body of the vertical ordering machine is equipped with a stable base, which can be used when powered on. It is the main terminal of the centralized ordering area of the canteen.

Case Experience Summary

Peak diversion is a common appeal

Four types of cases are to shorten the peak queue as the primary goal, the number of terminals according to the peak measured configuration, to avoid with less queuing, with more waste.

Identity account docking is key

The docking of employee cards and campus accounts directly affects the settlement efficiency and use experience, and it is recommended to complete the joint adjustment in the prototype stage.

Run first and then batch

Prototype real peak test run can verify the single processing capacity and software adaptation, reduce the risk of batch error.
