Description

Method and System for Providing Voucher Service The present disclosure relates to a method and system for providing voucher services, and specifically, to a method and system for providing voucher services using employee welfare vouchers. Generally, employees working at a company can receive various welfare benefits. For example, employees can use beverages and snacks provided within the company. However, if beverages and snacks are stocked within the company for employees to use freely, there is a problem in that welfare benefits may not be distributed fairly. To address these issues, a system was introduced in which vending machines are installed within the company, allowing employees to purchase welfare products by paying the remaining amount (e.g., 30%) while the company subsidizes a portion of the purchase cost. However, even in this scenario, there are issues such as some employees abusing company benefits or non-employees being able to enjoy internal welfare benefits. Additionally, the vending machine system where the company subsidizes a portion of the purchase cost has the drawback that the machines can only be installed within the company premises and there is no limit on the amount spent per individual or department. Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings described below, wherein similar reference numerals indicate similar elements, but are not limited thereto.
