[0033] The usage amount calculation unit 213 calculates a first usage amount in a first period (year and month in this embodiment) as follows: If the company exceeds the upper limit, the upper limit for the second period after the first period will be lowered. For example, the upper limit storage unit 231 can store the In this case, if the usage exceeds the limit in the current month, In this case, the usage amount calculation unit 213 calculates the excess amount by subtracting the upper limit corresponding to the current month from the usage amount of the current month. If the upper limit for the next month is less than the excess amount, the excess amount can be subtracted from the upper limit for the next month. In this case, the usage amount calculation unit 213 subtracts the upper limit for the next month from the excess amount and calculates the difference between the upper limit for the month after can be subtracted from

[0034] The charge calculation unit 214 (corresponding to the settlement processing unit of the present invention) calculates the charge amount according to the amount of use and the company. The charge amount for at least one of the employees 10 is calculated. For example, the online usage information and offline usage information corresponding to a company's corporate ID Calculate the total amount (or the amount calculated from the number of items) and use the calculated total amount as the charge amount. The charge amount calculation unit 214 calculates the upper limit amount corresponding to the company ID of the company. The upper limit is read from the storage unit 231, and if the total amount exceeds the read upper limit, the upper limit is charged. It can also be an amount.

[0035] The charge processing unit 214 may perform settlement processing for the company according to the amount of use. The accounting process includes calculating the billing amount, calculating the excess or shortfall, setting or changing the usage limit, etc. This includes changing the

[0036] The billing amount calculation unit 214 retrieves contract information corresponding to the company to be billed from the contract information storage unit 232. If the fee determination information is set in the contract information, the information is provided offline. When the burden of the employee 10 is set, the amount of the employee 10's burden and the amount of the burden are The amount charged to the company can be calculated taking this into consideration.

[0037] For example, if a predetermined ratio is specified in the charge determination information, the charge calculation unit 214 is the amount according to the amount of use determined as described above (the amount obtained by multiplying the number of food items 12 by the unit price) The total amount of the charge is calculated by multiplying the total amount of the charge by a specified percentage, and then the total amount of the charge is calculated according to the amount of use. This can be subtracted from the amount to calculate the amount to be charged to the company.

[0038] In addition, for example, the charge determination information may include information on each employee 1 for each food item 12 offline. If the burden amount of 0 is determined and the burden rate of employee 10 is set, it is off. When the food 12 is provided on the line, which employee 10 receives which food 12 is managed. In this way, the charge calculation unit 214 tallies up the amount of payment for each employee 10 and calculates the amount of payment for each employee 10. The company can calculate the amount to be charged by subtracting the charge from the amount based on usage. The management of which food 12 was provided to which employee 10 can be done offline, for example, by using a refrigerator. The employee 10 who took out the food 12 wrote information identifying the employee 10 ( Please fill in the name, employee number, etc.) and information that identifies the food 12 (product name, etc.) The company 21 collects the paper, inputs the contents written on the paper into the delivery company terminal 31, and executes the management server. The management server 2 transmits the offline usage information instead of the offline usage information or the offline usage information to the management server 2. In addition to the usage information, information for identifying the period (year and month in this embodiment) and information for identifying the employee 10 are also included. The information that identifies the food 12 (which may be a food ID) It is also possible to store the information as offline provision information. For example, when the food 12 is provided offline, the user terminal 1 reads the refrigerated food product code 13. Along with the warehouse ID, a food ID indicating the provided food 12 and an employee ID indicating the employee 10 are also included. The combination of the refrigerator ID, food ID, and employee ID is sent to the management server 2. The charge calculation unit 214 can also store offline provision information that matches the content. Based on this offline information, the number of meals provided for each 10 employees during a specific period Identify the food item 12, and based on the identified food item 12, the usage fee for each employee 10 (number of food items 12) The total amount multiplied by the unit price is calculated, and the amount multiplied by the burden rate is calculated as follows: The total amount of the burden for every 10 employees is then subtracted from the amount according to the amount of use. The company's billing amount can be calculated based on this.

[0039] The sales processing unit 215 (corresponding to the usage processing unit of the present invention) is a sales processing unit for a welfare service employee 1 In this embodiment, the sales processing unit 215 performs processing related to the use of welfare services.
