Description

A system and method for automatic delivery of consumables for homestay

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of automatic vending of homestay rental houses, in particular to a system and method for automatically shipping consumables for homestays.

Background technique

In recent years, the homestay industry has been vigorously developed, and many migrant workers or outbound tourists choose to stay in homestays in addition to staying in hotels. Homestays provide more conveniences for people to live in different places, such as being able to cook by themselves, do laundry, and gather in groups.

For consumables, centralized hotels can supplement them, and check the real-time usage of guests, which is much more convenient than decentralized urban homestays. For example, after the guests check out, the tooth set, towels, etc. are replenished, and only the next batch of guests needs to be replenished. And the hotel front desk can call the cleaning staff to check and check the guests before they leave the hotel. For decentralized urban homestays, this approach is obviously not realistic. First, the time when the guest leaves the store is not in sync with the cleaning time of the cleaning staff. In many cases, the cleaning staff comes to the door to check when the guest leaves. The second is the degree of dispersion of the housing stock, which determines that it must be stored in the room. Backup of consumables, such as a box of tissue paper, a box of mineral water, etc., cannot be replenished as frequently and in small amounts as in centralized hotels; third, from the second point, a management decision problem arises. Urban B&Bs should What consumables are provided, whether they can be charged, how to charge and check the usage. Therefore, it is of great practical value to strengthen the research on the automatic supply and management device of consumables in the homestay.
