3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of providing an order food coupon according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, a method is described wherein the food ordering server 300 determines the quantity of the ordered food coupons. The quantity of the order food coupon provided to the user may be determined by the food ordering server 300 in consideration of the increased sales due to use of the order food coupon. The food ordering server 300 may carry out an advertisement using the order food coupon, but may lead a part of the increase in sales due to the order food coupon to the order food coupon. In this way, restaurants can have additional sales growth, and users can benefit from order food coupons.

Referring to FIG. 3, the food ordering server 300 can calculate the increased sales after issuance of the order food coupon of a particular restaurant. For example, an increase in sales can be determined by comparing sales between a week before the issuance of the order food coupon and the sales of the week after the issuance of the order food coupon. If, for example, 100 food order calls have increased after the issuance of the order food coupons, a certain percentage (say, 2%) of the increased food order calls will be made to the order food coupons of the restaurant 5) can be determined by the number of order food coupons that the restaurant must issue. The food ordering server 300 can upload the determined number of ordered food coupons to the festival category again and provide them to the user.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of providing an ordered food according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4, a method for determining an order food coupon provided to a user at a food ordering server is disclosed.

Referring to FIG. 4, the food order server can determine an order food coupon that can be provided to the user in consideration of the location information of the user and the distance that can be delivered to the restaurant.

The food order server may have information on the distance 450 that can be delivered for each restaurant. For example, the restaurant A (400) can set the delivery to an area within 5 km based on the restaurant A (400). In this case, the order food coupon provided by the restaurant A (400) may be provided to the user located within 5 km based on the restaurant A (400).

That is, the food ordering server considers the deliverable distance 450 of the plurality of restaurants providing the ordered food coupons, and the ordered food coupons of each of the plurality of restaurants are stored in the deliverable distance 450 of each of the plurality of restaurants, ≪ / RTI >

The location of the user may be a location registered by the user to a location to be delivered or may be determined based on the current location of the user's device.

The food ordering server may provide the user with an order food coupon by setting the available distance of the ordered food coupon separately from the deliverable distance 450. [ The food ordering server may provide the ordered food coupon by setting the available distance of the ordered food coupon to a value smaller than the deliverable distance 450. [ For example, the allowable distance of the order food coupon can be set to 1/2 of the deliverable distance 450. [ This allows users to focus on nearby users from restaurants that are more likely to utilize coupons, thereby increasing the likelihood of future offline orders as well as delivery orders.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the food ordering server may determine the deliverable distance 450 from the restaurant and / or the available distance of the ordered food coupon based on the order and delivery record of the existing restaurant. For example, the food order server can store a record (hereinafter referred to as " order delivery record ") in which a food is ordered and a delivery has been performed in the restaurant A (400). In this case, the information on the deliverable distance 450 of the restaurant A 400 can be continuously updated without being input separately through the restaurant server of the restaurant A 400. For example, the deliverable distance 450 of the restaurant A 400 may be periodically judged. For example, the restaurant ordering server periodically determines the deliveryable distance 450 of the restaurant A 400 considering the information on the distance of delivery for a predetermined period (for example, one month) of the restaurant A 400 You can decide. In this case, the information on the changeable distance 450 that is changed according to the individual judgment of the operator of the restaurant A 400 can be continuously updated by the food order server without being input separately through the restaurant server.

5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a food delivery method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5, a plurality of restaurants are grouped, and a plurality of grouped restaurants share delivery personnel to deliver food.

Referring to FIG. 5, a plurality of restaurants located in a certain area can pay delivery costs according to the number of deliveries and share delivery personnel.

The food order server can group the plurality of restaurants located within a certain area in time by analyzing the number of food order calls and the time order of food order calls to the plurality of restaurants.

Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience of explanation, it is assumed that 10 restaurants are located within a certain area, and each of them is allocated between 11 am and 1 pm (first time zone) and between 6 pm and 8 pm (second time zone) And a method of grouping restaurants to match a delivery person.

The food ordering server can determine the entire delivery source and allocate it to each time band considering the overall deliveries of 10 restaurants by each existing time zone. For example, it can be assumed that the total delivery quantity is 400 in the first time zone and the total delivery quantity is 350 in the second time zone.

In this case, it is assumed that the food order server handles 50 delivery quantities per delivery person, the number of delivery persons to be delivered is determined to be 8 in the first time zone, and the number of delivery persons to be delivered in the second time zone The number of the deliverers can be allocated to the area where the ten restaurants are located.

* In the first time zone, 8 deliveries can be matched to 10 restaurants (restaurants 1 to 10). Specifically, the food ordering server can match eight deliveries to each of the eight deliveries as a deliveree of each of the ten restaurants to assign a similar delivery quantity to each of the eight deliveries. When the total delivery quantity in the first time zone of the restaurants 1 to 3 is 50, the total delivery quantity is 49 in the first time zone of the restaurant 4, and the total delivery quantity in the first time zone of the restaurants 5 and 6 is 51 . In this case, of the eight deliveries, the deliverymen A is matched to the restaurants 1 to 3 (the first restaurant group 510) to deliver the food to the restaurants 1 to 3, and the deliverymen B to the restaurants 4 (the second restaurant group 520) and serves to deliver the food of the restaurant 4, and the deliverymen C can match the food 5 and the restaurant 6 (the third restaurant group 530) to serve the food delivery of the restaurant 5 and the restaurant 6.

That is, a plurality of restaurants may be grouped considering the delivery amount by time, and the delivery source may be matched to the grouped restaurant group. The deliverymen matching the restaurant group can deliver the food to the restaurants in the restaurant group.

The food order server can specifically perform the following operations. The food ordering server can determine the number of deliveries needed for each of the plurality of time bands based on a total delivery amount of each of the plurality of restaurants by the plurality of time bands. It is also possible that the food ordering server groups the plurality of restaurants into at least one restaurant group for each of a plurality of time zones based on the individual delivery amounts of each of the plurality of time zones of each of the plurality of restaurants, You can match the deliverymen to each.

When this type of food delivery method is used, the operator of the restaurant can reduce the delivery cost by delivering the food through the deliveries matched to each of the restaurants by time zone. In addition, the deliverer may raise additional income by doing other work if it is not delivery time.

FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a payment method after ordering food according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 6, a prepayment method of a food order amount according to a food order is disclosed.

Referring to FIG. 6, the food order server prepares a certain percentage amount of the food order amount when ordering food in connection with the communication company server, and then prepaid amount is refunded after the food delivery or when the food order amount Can be deducted. The prepayment procedure for these food order amounts can prevent false food order calls. For the prepayment procedure for the food order amount, the food ordering server may ask the user for consent to the prepayment procedure through the communication company server and / or the payment server when ordering the user's food.

When the user makes a food order call, the food order server can obtain information about the food menu and the price ordered by the user. Users can order food directly from the phone, or they can order food without calling directly through the order menu implemented in the food order application.

If the user orders food through the order menu implemented in the food order application, the user can input the order information (information on the menu to be ordered and the time of the delivery request) through the food order application, The information can be sent to the food order server and the restaurant server. The food ordering server can proceed with the prepayment process based on the received order information,

Or when the user calls the restaurant directly to call the restaurant through the call function implemented in the food order application, the restaurant operator can generate the order information based on the call and generate the order information from the restaurant server Can be transmitted to the order server. The food order server can receive the order information inputted from the restaurant server and proceed with the prepayment procedure.

Or the food ordering server may analyze the user's voice and obtain order information from the user. For example, when a user calls a restaurant directly through a call function implemented in a food order application to order food, the call history between the restaurant operator and the user can be transmitted to the food order server. The food order server can perform voice analysis on the call history and generate predicted order information by analyzing information on items, quantity, and address corresponding to the menu through voice analysis. The food ordering server can send the predicted ordering information to the restaurant server and the operator of the restaurant can determine whether the predicted ordering information generated by the food ordering server is correct. If the predicted order information generated by the food ordering server is correct, the restaurant server may send a confirmation message to the food ordering server containing information indicating that the ordering information is correct. Conversely, if the predicted order information generated by the food ordering server is not correct, the restaurant server may send a modification message containing the modified order information to the food ordering server.

The food ordering server can proceed with the prepayment process based on the final order information obtained based on the confirmation message or the correction message.

The restaurant ordering server requests the prepayment procedure to the payment server (step S600).

The food ordering server interfaces with the payment server of the user (e.g., a communication company server, a bank server, etc.) based on the identification information of the user (e.g., the user's telephone number, the user's account information, and the user's credit card information) And then proceed with the prepayment procedure.

The payment server sends a message to the user device to confirm whether the prepaid procedure is agreed (step S610).

The user may receive a prepayment agreement confirmation message asking the payment server to agree on withdrawal of the prepaid amount (e.g., 10% of the food order amount). The pre-approval agreement message may include information on the restaurant name, food order menu, food order amount, prepayment amount, and the like.

The user receives the prepayment agreement confirmation message, and may transmit the prepayment agreement message to the payment server if the prepayment procedure is desired. Conversely, if the user receives the pre-order confirmation message and does not want the pre-payment procedure, the user may transmit the pre-order approval reject message to the payment server.

If the pre-payment agreement confirmation message is transmitted by the user apparatus, the prepayment procedure can be performed (step S620).

If the user has sent the confirmation message of the prepayment agreement, the payment server can proceed to the prepayment procedure to withdraw a certain amount from the account of the user. In addition, the payment server may send a message to the restaurant server instructing completion of the progress of the prepayment procedure. If the restaurant server confirms that the completion of the preprocessing procedure has been completed, the server can perform the cooking for the food and deliver it to the user.

Conversely, if the user sends a pre-order consent rejection message, the payment server may send a message to the restaurant server instructing the user to refuse the prepayment procedure without going through the prepayment procedure. If the restaurant server has not completed the preprocessing procedure, it can perform cooking and delivery of the food through an additional confirmation process as to whether the user's order is not a false order.
