ORDERING TERMINAL FOR BOTH SALESCLERK AND CUSTOMER, AND ORDERING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ordering terminal for both a salesclerk and a customer by appropriately using a large screen portable terminal as "an ordering terminal for use by a salesclerk" and "a self-ordering terminal for use by a customer". SOLUTION: The terminal is a network-connectable terminal for program control, comprising a display input part with a display screen and an input key; a cover part functioning as the cover of the input part and also having a menu key; a folding mechanism folding the cover part on the input part; and a changeover switch switching control programs. The terminal of a rotational mechanism turning either the input part or the cover part inside out so as to fold the display screen of the input part outside and the menu key of the cover part inside is disposed between the input part and the lid part, and when the switch is operated, the terminal changes over the program between the case to be used as the ordering terminal for the salesclerk and the case to be used as the ordering terminal for the customer.
