The CPU 10 follows the procedure shown in the following steps.
In step S1 of FIG. 5, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the information on the ordered item has been accepted (step S1).
For example, when accepting an ordered item directly from a customer at a cash register, it is determined whether or not the ordered item information has been accepted by acquiring the information input from the ECR terminal or the like. In addition, if there is a terminal for accepting orders, when the clerk inputs information such as the type and quantity of ordered items to the terminal when the customer goes to pick up the order, the information is acquired through the communication network 5. By doing so, it is determined whether or not the information on the ordered item has been accepted.

When the order product information is received in step S1 (when the determination in step S1 is Yes), the CPU 10 manages the order product information such as the product name and quantity of the order product ordered by the customer in step S2 (step S1). Step S2).
On the other hand, in step S1, when the information of the ordered item is not accepted (when the determination in step S1 is No), the CPU 10 performs the process of step S3 (step S3).
If there is no terminal for accepting orders in a small store, or if the order items are processed in a batch at the time of settlement without managing the order item information on the server at the time of ordering, the determination in step S1 is performed. It may be omitted.

Next, in step S3, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the order has been settled (step S3).
When the settlement process is performed (when the determination in step S3 is Yes), the CPU 10 performs the process in step S4 (step S4).
On the other hand, when the settlement process is not performed (when the determination in step S3 is No), the CPU 10 determines in step S1 (step S1).
If the order is received in a plurality of times, the settlement process may be performed collectively at the end.

Next, in step S4, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the information management server 2 holds the image data associated with the ordered item accessible from the outside (step S4).
When the information management server 2 holds the image data accessible from the outside (when the determination in step S4 is Yes), the CPU 10 connects to the information management server 2 in step S5 (step S5).
On the other hand, when the information management server 2 does not hold the image data accessible from the outside (when the determination in step S4 is No), the CPU 10 performs the process of step S6 (step S6).

In step S6, the CPU 10 generates normal text receipt data that does not include an image of the ordered product, and causes the printer 125 to print the receipt 101 based on the receipt data (step S6).
If all the ordered items do not publish the photos or if the two-dimensional code is not required, only the text receipt data may be printed.

Next, in step S7, the CPU 10 causes the information management server 2 to transmit the information of the ordered item (step S7).

Subsequently, in step S8, the CPU 10 makes a request for transmitting the two-dimensional code information associated with the ordered item to the information management server 2 (step S8).

Subsequently, in step S9, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the two-dimensional code information has been received from the information management server 2 (step S9).
When the two-dimensional code information is received from the information management server 2 (when the determination in step S9 is Yes), the CPU 10 includes access information to the normal text receipt data and the image data of the ordered item in the following step S10. The dimension code receipt data is generated, and the printer 125 prints the receipt 101 based on the receipt data (step S10).
On the other hand, when the two-dimensional code information is not received from the information management server 2 (when the determination in step S9 is No), the CPU 10 waits until the two-dimensional code information is received from the information management server 2.
If it is desired to make the address information readable by the mobile terminal 3 or the PC 4 that does not have the function of reading the two-dimensional code, the URL may be described on the receipt 101 instead of the two-dimensional code.

<Procedure for transmitting a two-dimensional code from the information management server to the receipt information generator>

In step S11 of FIG. 6, the CPU 20 determines whether or not a request for transmitting two-dimensional code information (step S8 of FIG. 5) including the address information of the image data associated with the ordered item has been received from the receipt information generator 1. (Step S11).
When the transmission request of the two-dimensional code information is received (when the determination in step S11 is Yes), the CPU 20 acquires the order item information transmitted from the receipt information generator 1 in the following step S12 (step S12).
On the other hand, when the transmission request for the two-dimensional code information is not received (when the determination in step S11 is No), the CPU 20 repeats the determination in step S11 until the transmission request for the two-dimensional code information is received (step S11). ).

Next, in step S13, the CPU 20 generates a two-dimensional code corresponding to the ordered product information (step S13).
Finally, in step S14, the CPU 20 transmits a two-dimensional code to the receipt information generation device 1 (step S14).

In this way, when the information management server 2 receives the transmission request of the two-dimensional code information from the receipt information generation device 1, the information management server 2 generates the two-dimensional code corresponding to the ordered item information.

Specifically, it is acquired by reading the two-dimensional code printed on the receipt 101 with the camera 319 that can read the two-dimensional code of the mobile terminal 3.

In the following step S22, the CPU 30 extracts the URL from the acquired two-dimensional code and displays it on the display panel 321 (step S22).

Next, in step S23, the CPU 30 determines whether or not there is an access request from the user to the URL displayed on the display panel 321 (step S23).
When there is an access request to the URL (when the determination in step S23 is Yes), the CPU 30 attempts to access the URL in step S24 and connects to the information management server 2 through the communication network 5 (step S24).
On the other hand, when there is no access request to the URL (when the determination in step S23 is No), the CPU 30 repeats the determination in step S23 until there is an access request to the URL (step S23).

Next, in step S25, the CPU 30 transmits the image information code read from the two-dimensional code to the information management server 2 and acquires the image data of the ordered product corresponding to the image information code (step S25).

Finally, in step S26, the CPU 30 causes the acquired image data to be displayed on the display panel 321 (step S26).

<Procedure for transmitting image data of ordered items by information management server 2>
Next, the procedure for transmitting the image data of the ordered product by the information management server 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a procedure for transmitting image data of ordered products by the information management server 2 shown in FIG.
