Further, in the embodiment, a POS (Point of Sales) terminal will be described as an example of an external device. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a payment system according to an embodiment. The payment system 10 is a system that performs sales processing, sales management, and the like of products such as dishes to be eaten and drink at a store T such as a restaurant, and is installed in the store T. The payment system 10 includes a station 1, a table terminal 3 (ordering device), a kitchen terminal 5, and a POS terminal 7. The station 1, the table terminal 3, the kitchen terminal 5, and the POS terminal 7 are connected by a communication line L1 such as a LAN (Local Area Network), and can transmit and receive information and signals to each other.

Further, the payment system 10 is connected to the payment server 9 by a communication line L2 such as a dedicated line or a public line. The payment server 9 operates a payment using an application installed on a mobile terminal K (smartphone, mobile phone, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), etc.) in order to make a payment related to a product purchase at a store T, which will be described later. It is installed in the company that does.

Here, payment using an application installed on the mobile terminal K (hereinafter referred to as "application payment") will be described. Here, a case where a product is purchased at the store T, the sales registration process of the product is executed using a POS (Point of Sales) terminal or the like, and then the application payment is performed will be described as an example.

First, download and install the application on the mobile terminal K from the homepage of the company that operates the payment. Next, the code symbol (two-dimensional code, etc.) prepared by the company is read by using the camera function and the application mounted on the mobile terminal K. The read code symbol contains at least access information to the site operated by the company. Then, the amount to be settled (for example, the payment amount of the purchased product (the product whose sales have been registered by the POS terminal)) is input to the mobile terminal K. The mobile terminal K can communicate with the payment server 9 via the wireless communication line L3. Therefore, the payment amount information is transmitted from the mobile terminal K to the payment server 9. The payment process of the application payment related to the payment amount received by the payment server 9 is executed.

The payment server 9 that has processed the payment transmits information indicating that the payment processing related to the transaction has been completed to the station 1, and the station 1 that receives the information transfers the information to the POS terminal 7. Then, the POS terminal 7 issues a receipt related to the settlement. The issued receipt describes the product information, the payment information, the name of the company that operates the payment server 9 that has processed the payment, and the like.

There is also a method in which a code symbol is displayed on the customer's mobile terminal K and the POS terminal 7 reads the code symbol so that the payment server 9 performs payment processing. In this case, the code symbol includes, in addition to the above access information, member information that identifies the member, information such as the address of the mobile terminal K, and the like.

The payment server 9 executes a payment process based on the amount information received by operating the application installed on the mobile terminal K for the transaction made at the store T. The payment server 9 transmits the payment information that has been settled to the mobile terminal K and the station 1.

Station 1 is, for example, a server equipped with a microcomputer. Station 1 is installed in the backyard of store T. The station 1 manages sales (sales quantity and sales amount) of products (cooking, drinks, goods, etc.) ordered from the table terminal 3. In addition, the station 1 manages the serving of the ordered product to the customer.

Further, when the application payment is performed, the station 1 transmits the registration information for pre-registering the application payment to the payment server 9. The station 1 manages whether or not the application payment has been pre-registered. Further, the station 1 transmits an approval signal for approving the application payment for the ordered product to the payment server 9 for the customer who has pre-registered the application payment every time the ordered product is served. Further, the station 1 stores and manages information indicating whether or not the application has been settled for each product ordered from the table terminal 3.

One table terminal 3 is installed for each table. The table terminal 3 is, for example, a tablet terminal installed on each table.
