Abstract
A food and drink managing device with a circulation type path allows standardizing while adding food and drink onto the carrying path, simplifying management, holding down cost, and achieving precise identification information reading. The food and drink managing device with a circulation type carrying path has containers with identification information, an identification information reading means provided near said path, a sign part circularly moving as linked with said circulating carrying path, passage detection means for detecting passage of said sign parts, a registering means which recognizes an interval between passing sign parts as one zone, and registers the identification information of the containers read by said reading means, as foods and drinks being supplied, in relation to a zone in which the containers exist, and a container throwing-in prohibited area of a given length provided in the upstream side of the circulating carrying path from a position of the reading means.
