Abstract

An electronic cash register system for a food dispensing business comprises an electronic cash register main body and an order information entering unit. The entering unit is adapted to collect and store as order information the information concerning codes of the items such as foods and drinks ordered by a customer and the information identifying a customer such as a table number, a customer identifiable code or the like, when such information is manually entered by a waitress in accepting an order from the customer. The entering unit is further adapted to be detachably coupled to the electronic cash register main body so that the above described information may be transferred from the entering unit to the electronic cash register main body. The electronic cash register main body is adapted such that when the entering unit is coupled to the main body the names of the items are printed out onto an order slip based on the above described order information collected and stored in the entering unit with respect to the same customer or table.
