Description

Reward point issuance system for content payment linked to an ordering system and reward point issuance method thereof The present invention relates to a reward-type point payment system and a reward-type point payment method, and more specifically, to a reward-type point payment system and a reward-type point payment method for content payment linked with an ordering system. The way food is ordered has changed significantly due to COVID-19, which began in 2020. While the prevailing method previously involved customers ordering verbally directly from restaurant staff, since COVID-19, methods where conversation between customers and staff is no longer necessary have become more frequent. Delivery systems such as Baedal Minjok and Coupang Eats enable food ordering via apps, where customers place orders and make payments; the restaurant recognizes the order, sends a delivery person to the doorstep, and notifies the app upon delivery completion. Recently, the use of table order systems—where customers directly press a screen on a terminal installed at the table to order and pay—and kiosk systems—where customers place orders and make payments by touching a touch-screen terminal located within the store—has become widespread in regular restaurants. These systems have enabled more efficient restaurant operations by relieving restaurant staff of the burden of taking orders manually, allowing them to process orders more quickly, and enabling them to focus solely on cooking and serving. However, the installed terminals and self-payment systems merely serve as means to take orders and process payments, failing to provide significant benefits to the users themselves, particularly the customers. In particular, from the customer's perspective, while they could previously simply order food verbally, they are now in a situation where they must order through a terminal they are not familiar with. During the pandemic, when face-to-face contact is avoided, this system may be perceived as welcome due to the social atmosphere of refraining from conversation and contact; however, in situations where avoiding interpersonal contact is not necessary, it may be perceived as a means that hinders customer convenience. The kiosk systems installed at every table present an uncertain future for restaurant owners regarding their continued maintenance. Beyond the simple function of allowing customers to select and pay for food, these systems do not provide features that enable owners to promote their menus, offer discounts, or provide benefits to customers to encourage additional orders. As a last resort, restaurant owners promote their establishments through review events, but even this makes it difficult to convince customers that using the kiosk is essential. Figure 1 illustrates the configuration of the server system of the present invention. Figure 2 illustrates a reward-type point payment method of the present invention. Figure 3 illustrates the entire system of the present invention. FIG. 4 illustrates another reward-type point payment method of the present invention. FIG. 5 illustrates a method for determining compensation points when implementing the present invention.
