The user terminal 100 is a computing device having a communication function, and may be a mobile terminal such as a smart phone. A delivery order application (hereinafter, referred to as a “delivery app” for short) 200 that enables a user to use a delivery order service is installed and executed in each user terminal 100 . The delivery app 200 provides a delivery order service to the user by interworking with the delivery order server 300 . Here, the delivery order service target product may be food. The delivery app 200 according to an aspect provides a screen interface that can be trusted and used by providing information on recommended stores (restaurants) of acquaintance members to members.

The delivery order server 300 is a server system configured to include one or more server computing devices, and may be operated under various operating systems including or not included in Windows-based operating systems or MacOS, Java, UNIX or Linux (LINUX). can The delivery order server 300 basically manages member information (member information) and product information for each store. Here, the member information may include the member's contact information (eg, phone number). And the delivery order server 300 according to an aspect maps and manages acquaintance members for each member, and based on this, classifies and provides information on recommended stores of acquaintance members to the member.

The method shown in Figures 2 and 3 is to be performed on the delivery app 200 and / or delivery order server 300, each step by any one of the delivery app 200 and the delivery order server 300 may be performed or both may be involved. And the subject performing each step described below can be understood as an embodiment, and both the application and the server may be the subject of the operation at each step due to the characteristics of systems in which the application and the server work together to provide a service. And only one of them can be the subject of the action.

First, FIG. 2 will be described. When the user gives a command to run the delivery app 200, the delivery app 200 is executed by the processor of the user terminal 100 to provide a screen interface for the delivery order service to the member through the terminal display to the member Allows you to select a store and a product to apply for a delivery order (S100). In this process, the delivery app 200 allows the member to select a store according to the recommendation of a trusted acquaintance member by providing the member with the recommended store information of the acquaintance members. S100 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 .

When the selection of the store and the product is completed through the process S100, the delivery app 200 and the delivery order server 300 proceed with payment for the delivery order for the selected product (S110). In this case, when the store selection is made through the recommendation of an acquaintance member using the same store, the store recommendation code of the acquaintance member is reflected in the payment process so that a predetermined benefit is provided to the member. Here, the predetermined benefit may be a discount or accumulation. When the payment is completed, the delivery order server 300 generates a new recommendation code for the store where the delivery order request is made and issues it to the member (S120). The issued recommendation code may be used to pay for delivery orders of other members who have members as acquaintances, and may be valid only for a certain period (eg, 90 days). In addition, when the payment is completed, the delivery order server 300 pays a predetermined reward to an acquaintance member of the store recommendation code used in the member's payment process (S130).
