Abstract:
1. An ordering apparatus, comprising: a processor that executes computer executable instructions comprising: an order quantity storing section configured to store an order quantity; an ordered commodity accepting section configured to accept input of a commodity identifier specifying an ordered commodity; a termination determination section configured to determine termination of input acceptation of the commodity identifier; and an order data generation section configured to generate order data for each ordered commodity by associating a plurality of commodity identifiers which is accepted as input by the ordered commodity accepting section with order quantities stored in an order quantity storing section, during a period from a moment that the input of the commodity identifier is accepted to a moment that the termination determination section determines that input acceptation is terminated, wherein in response to an announcement key for a continuous order mode being input, the ordering apparatus accepts input of the order quantity; in response to a number value being input through a numerical keypad, the ordering apparatus writes the number value into the order quantity storing section as the order quantity; in response to the order quantity being written into the order quantity storing section, the ordering apparatus accepts input of a commodity identifier, and for each commodity identifier input, the ordering apparatus generates order data based on each commodity identifier and the order quantity in the order quantity storage section; in response to a release key for releasing the continuous order mode being input or a number value being input through the numerical keypad, the ordering apparatus terminates acceptation of the input of the commodity identifier and outputs order data for each ordered commodity to an external device; in response to acceptation of the input of the commodity identifier being terminated by input of a release key, the ordering apparatus releases the continuous order mode after the order data is output; and in response to acceptation of input of the commodity identifier being terminated by input of a number value being input through the numerical keypad, the ordering apparatus writes the number value into the order quantity storage section and resumes acceptation of input of the commodity identifier after the order data is output.
