Description

  The present invention relates to a parking lot management system that manages, without using a parking ticket, a parking fee for a parking lot that is affiliated with a tie-up store, and a discount service based on fee processing and purchase at the tie-up store.

In the past, parking tickets were issued to parking lot users to calculate parking fees and discount parking fees at affiliated stores.
For discounts at affiliated stores, the discount data corresponding to the purchase amount is written on the parking ticket with the authenticator installed in the store, and when the parking fee is paid, the discount data of the parking ticket is read by the settlement machine. The amount was calculated.
Alternatively, a magnetic ticket (service ticket) in which discount data is recorded in advance is handed over at the store according to the purchase price, and the discount fee is calculated by reading the discount data of the magnetic ticket when the parking fee is settled.

In the case of using a parking ticket, it is necessary to install a parking ticket issuing machine and an authentication device equipped with a magnetic data reading function in each affiliated store, and there is an initial cost and a consumable cost of the parking ticket itself.
In addition, when using a service ticket, the discount content is limited to several types, and it is necessary to prepare the store beforehand by purchasing it from a parking lot operator, etc. It was expensive.
