[3. effect]
According to the embodiment detailed above, the following effects are obtained.

(1) The brokerage system 100 of this embodiment has a location registration function, a location search function, and an application function. The location registration function is a function for a location provider to register information on a store location. The location search function is a function for the kitchen car owner to search for a store location. The application function is a function of applying to the place provider to open a store at the above-mentioned store location. The location registration function is realized by the event detail screen D11 shown in FIG. 16 displayed in S116. The location search function is realized by the event search screen D18 shown in FIG. 24 and the map search screen D20 shown in FIG. 26, which are displayed in S209 and S211, respectively. The application function is realized by the reservation button B212 of the event details screen D21 shown in FIG. 27 displayed in S218.

Therefore, the kitchen car owner can use the brokerage system 100 to search for a place to open a store and apply to the place provider to open a store. Therefore, it is possible to obtain information on the location of the store and apply for the store opening without contacting the intermediary by telephone or the like. Therefore, the kitchen car owner's convenience can be improved when the kitchen car owner searches for a place to open a store and applies for opening a store.

(2) The mediation system 100 of this embodiment has an owner registration function and an owner search function. The owner registration function is a function for a kitchen car owner to register owner information. The owner information is information on the owner of the kitchen car and/or the kitchen car. The owner search function is a function for a place provider to search for kitchen car owners and/or kitchen cars. The owner registration function includes the account registration screen displayed in steps S202 to S206, the basic information registration screen D14 shown in FIG. 20, the sale item registration screen D15 shown in FIG. It is realized by the upload screen. The owner search function is realized by the kitchen car search screen D3 shown in FIG. 8 displayed in S107.

Therefore, the place provider can use the owner search function to acquire information about kitchen car owners and/or kitchen cars. Therefore, the convenience of the place provider can be improved.

(3) The mediation system 100 of this embodiment has an offer function. The offer function is a function in which a place provider offers kitchen car owners to open a store at a store location provided by the place provider. The offer function is realized by the chat screen D7 shown in FIG. 12 displayed in S111. Specifically, the place provider can make an offer to open a store to the kitchen car owner via the chat screen D7.

Therefore, the place provider can attract kitchen car owners by issuing an offer to open a store. In addition, kitchen car owners who have received an offer to open a store from a place provider may publish information on the store location (that is, event) where they themselves open a store on SNS or the like. As a result, the place provider can publicize (advertise) the information of the place where the store is opened via the kitchen car owner.

(4) In the present embodiment, the place provider can search for kitchen car owners and/or kitchen cars that match the items solicited by the place provider and the items sold by the owner search function. More specifically, the place provider enters his/her wanted item as a keyword on the kitchen car search screen D3 shown in FIG. 8 displayed in S107 to perform a search. As a result, the place provider can search for kitchen car owners and/or kitchen cars whose sales item matches the recruited item.

For example, suppose that a place provider wants to call a plurality of food trucks to an event held by itself. In this case, if the sales items of a plurality of food trucks overlap, there will be competition for customers, which is sometimes undesirable.

Also, for example, the place provider may want to call a plurality of food trucks by designating sales items such as drinks, snacks, and desserts.
In such a case, it would be convenient for the place provider to be able to search for a kitchen car owner and/or a kitchen car that sells the desired product. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the convenience of the place provider can be improved.

(5) The mediation system 100 of this embodiment has an owner evaluation function. The owner evaluation function is a function for the place provider to evaluate the kitchen car owner. The owner evaluation function is realized by the comment screen D6 shown in FIG. 11 displayed in S110. In the owner search function, the place provider can search for kitchen car owners and/or kitchen cars by designating the degree of evaluation of the owner by the owner evaluation function. Specifically, the place provider can search for kitchen car owners and/or kitchen cars by designating rating stars on the kitchen car search screen D3 shown in FIG. 8 displayed in S107.

Therefore, the place provider can search for, for example, a kitchen car owner whose evaluation degree is above a certain level or below a certain level (in other words, an owner with a good or bad evaluation). Then, information on the owner and/or kitchen car of the owner can be obtained. In addition, the place provider searches for an owner with a good evaluation and offers to open a store, so that the owner with a good evaluation can come to his/her own store.

(6) The mediation system 100 of the present embodiment includes the owner evaluation function and ranking display. The ranking function is a function that displays the ranking of kitchen car owners based on the evaluation by the owner evaluation function. The ranking function is realized by the kitchen car ranking screen D8 shown in FIG. 13 displayed in S113.

Therefore, the place provider can know the evaluation of the kitchen car owner by checking the ranking. In addition, the place provider can publicize (advertise) to the outside, for example, when a kitchen car owner with a high ranking opens a store at his/her own event. As a result, the place provider can improve the advertising effect of its own event.

(7) The intermediary system 100 of the present embodiment has a store location evaluation function. The store opening place evaluation function is a function for the kitchen car owner to evaluate the place provider. The store location evaluation function is realized by the comment screen D23 shown in FIG. 29 displayed in S218.

Therefore, the kitchen car owner can decide whether or not to open a store at the store based on the evaluation of the place provider. Therefore, the convenience of kitchen car owners can be improved.
(8) In the present embodiment, search results by the place search function do not include store locations that do not fall under the permitted business areas registered by kitchen car owners.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the kitchen car owner from searching for a place to open a store that does not fall under the permitted business area and opening a store at that location to conduct business.
(9) In the intermediary system 100 of the present embodiment, the kitchen car owner can search for a store where the item for sale matches the item solicited by the place provider using the location search function. Specifically, the kitchen car owner performs a search by entering his/her sales item as a keyword on the event search screen D18 shown in FIG. 24 displayed in S209. As a result, the kitchen car owner can search for a place where the item for sale matches the item solicited by the place provider.

Therefore, the kitchen car owner can efficiently find a place where he or she can open a store.
(10) The intermediary system 100 of the present embodiment has a store opening refusal function. The store-opening refusal function is a function by which the place provider refuses an application for opening a store from the owner of the kitchen car. The store opening refusal function is realized by the block button B131 of the detailed screen D13 waiting for approval shown in FIG. 18 displayed in S119.

For example, among kitchen car owners, there are cases where there are owners who throw garbage at the store openings, have a bad attitude, or have bad manners. As a place provider, I don't want to call such an owner. Also, for example, when a place provider sells products at its own store, there are times when it is not desired to call kitchen car owners who sell the same products as their own products. In such a case, it would be convenient if the place provider could reject the kitchen car owner's application to open a store. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to improve convenience for kitchen car owners.

(11) The mediation system 100 of this embodiment has a sales management function. The sales management function is a function for the kitchen car owner to manage the sales of the products at the place where he/she opened the store. The sales management function is realized by the sales registration screen D22 shown in FIG. 28 displayed in S217.

Therefore, the owner of the kitchen car can search for a place to open a store, apply to open a store, and also manage sales. Therefore, the convenience of kitchen car owners can be improved.
In the present embodiment, the kitchen car corresponds to the mobile sales vehicle, and the basic information, sales product information, information on business permit areas, and information on various certificates correspond to owner information. Also, the car location provider application and the owner application correspond to computer programs.
