[0001] The present invention relates to a reservation management system, a reservation management program, and a reservation management method. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the decline in the productive age population has led to a serious labor shortage problem. In addition, to prevent infectious diseases, labor-saving and non-contact measures are rapidly progressing to avoid contact with people as much as possible. This trend is widely seen in the service industry in general, and such services have begun to be provided in the golf industry as well. An example of such a system is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses, for example, that check-in / check-out information is stored in an in-store POS device, and if a customer who has checked in at the front desk wishes to have automatic accounting when ordering in the dining hall, the customer's membership code data, automatic accounting request data and order item data are entered into a terminal device, and the entered membership code data is compared with the check-in information, and if the customer has checked in, the order item data and membership code data are sent to the front desk and / or a host computer, so that the dining hall bill is automatically calculated at the front desk together with facility usage fees, etc. at the time of check-out.

[0004] Patent document 2 discloses, for example, that information on the menu to be ordered is transmitted from the golf cart, and that orders are managed using the break start time, the ordered menu, and the number of items ordered. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-283412 [Patent Document 2] JP 2002-259531 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the above-mentioned patent document, there was a problem in that it was not possible to know the exact timing when a user visiting a golf course would receive the product, making it difficult to provide the user with the product at the appropriate time.

[0007] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel system that can provide products at an appropriate time to users who have checked in to a golf course. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a reservation management system that supports the provision of products at appropriate times to users who use a golf course, the reservation management system comprising a provision content receiving unit, a provision request receiving unit, and a display processing unit, the provision content receiving unit receiving user identification information and product information of products ordered by the user before, at, or after checking in to the golf course, and storing them in a database, the provision request receiving unit receiving the user identification information after checking in to the golf course, at the time of check-in at a product provision facility, and acquiring pre-stored product information linked to the user identification information and provision location identification information that identifies the provision location where the user is seated to receive the product, and the display processing unit displaying the combination of the pre-stored products and the provision location, and displaying it to the product provider.

[0009] With this configuration, product information stored before, during, and after check-in can be acquired when checking in at a product providing facility. This allows a user to reserve products in advance and check in at a product providing facility, whereby product information reserved by the user can be acquired and the product can be provided to the user at an appropriate time. In addition, the product providing location of the user and a combination of products ordered by the user in advance can be displayed to the product provider, whereby the product desired by the user can be delivered to the appropriate product providing location.

[0010] In a more preferred embodiment, the reservation management system further includes an update unit, which, when it receives a user ID that uniquely identifies the user and a golf course locker number as the user identification information, updates the golf course usage status by treating the user as having checked in.

[0011] With this configuration, when a user ID and a golf course locker number are received, the golf course usage status can be updated, making it possible to reliably know which user is using which locker.

[0012] In a more preferred embodiment, the reservation management system further includes a display processing unit, the plurality of product providing facilities are linked to courses or holes of a golf course, and the display processing unit displays a product menu of the product providing facilities determined based on the course or hole being played by the user, and displays it to the user.

[0013] With this configuration, it is possible to display to the user a product menu of product providing facilities linked to the hole or course that the user is playing on. This allows the user to efficiently select the product that he or she desires without displaying product providing facilities that are not expected to be used from the user's location.

[0014] In a more preferred embodiment, the offer content receiving unit determines a product providing facility to which the product information is to be transmitted, from among the plurality of product providing facilities, based on a hole or course currently being played by the user.

[0015] With this configuration, it is possible to determine which product providing facility the product information should be sent to depending on the hole or course the user is playing. This makes it possible to send product information to a product providing facility that can provide a product to the user at an appropriate time depending on the hole or course the user is playing.

[0016] In a more preferred embodiment, the reservation management system further includes a notification unit which notifies the product provision facility that provides the product ordered by the user of a product preparation request based on the hole or course that the user is playing.

[0017] With this configuration, a product preparation request can be notified to the product providing facility according to the hole or course that the user is playing, so that the product provider can provide the product immediately after the user arrives at the product providing facility. Effect of the Invention

[0018] The present invention has an effect of providing a novel technique for supporting the provision of products at appropriate timing to users who use golf courses. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0052] <3. Processing Flowchart> Next, the reservation management method of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a flow chart showing the process from when a user makes a reservation for a golf course, uses a restaurant as a product providing facility, and makes a payment for using the golf course. Note that, in the following, a user ID is used as the user identification information stored in database 2, but it may be a locker number or membership information of the golf course.

[0053] <3.1. Golf course reservations> First, in step S1 (hereinafter, "step SX" will be abbreviated as "SX"), the reservation reception unit 11 receives golf course usage details from a user as facility reservation information 22. In this embodiment, when the user inputs the golf course from among the usage details, available dates for reservation are displayed based on the usage status information stored in the golf course core system 3. Then, the reservation reception unit 11 receives input of the user name, usage start time, usage plan, and number of users from among the usage details, and performs setting processing by linking a provisional usage limit based on the golf course, usage start time, and usage plan to the user. Specifically, for the input golf course, a provisional usage limit is set with the usage start time as the starting point and a usage time interval set for each usage plan.

[0054] <3.2. Registration of check-in information 23> Next, in step S2, the check-in registration unit 12 accepts the input of user identification information and registers the check-in information 23. In this embodiment, a two-dimensional code related to a locker number is set on a score holder at the golf course, and the check-in registration unit 12 accepts the input of a user ID via the two-dimensional code set on the reception counter of the golf course as user identification information, and accepts the input of a locker number via the two-dimensional code set on the score holder. Then, the check-in registration unit 12 searches whether there is a provisional usage limit linked to the user ID read from the two-dimensional code, and if there is a provisional usage limit, it registers the check-in information 23. On the other hand, if there is no provisional usage limit, the display processing unit 17 displays an error message to the user.

[0055] When users are a group, the representative registers information identifying the accompanying users (user ID, user name, etc.) and also registers facility reservation information 22. Then, when all users in the group read the two-dimensional codes, the check-in registration unit 12 registers the check-in information 23 of each user. This allows the facility reservation information 22 registered by the representative to be shared, and the golf course usage information can also be reliably registered.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, a member information update unit (not shown) updates the member information based on the user information. The member information update unit compares the member information for each golf course of the user stored in the database of the golf course main system 3 with the user information of the user who uses the application of the present invention stored in the database 2, and if the data contained in each piece of information differs, updates the data in the member information to the data in the user information.

[0057] <3.3. Updating Usage Information> In S3, the update unit 13 updates the usage status information. In this embodiment, the update unit 13 updates the usage status information by updating the provisional usage quota associated with the user who registered the check-in information 23 in S2 as the usage quota. The update unit 13 also updates the usage status information by deleting the provisional usage quota for which the check-in information 23 was not registered and a predetermined time has passed since the usage start time.

[0058] <3.4. Registration of content information 25> In S4, the provision content receiving unit 14 receives the provision content information 25. The provision content receiving unit 14 receives and registers a user ID and product information from the user terminal device 4 as the provision content information 25. In this embodiment, the hole number on which the user is playing is received, and the display processing unit 17 performs display processing of the product information linked to the hole number and displays it on the user terminal device 4. Specifically, for example, if the hole number on which the user is playing is an inside course, product information 24 of a restaurant linked to the inside course is displayed.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the hole number on which the user is playing is stored in the golf course main system 3, and the provision content receiving unit 14 may receive, in addition to the provision content information 25, the hole number on which the user who inputted the provision content information 25 is playing from the user or the golf course main system 3. In this case, a provision time estimation unit (not shown) estimates the time the user will arrive at the restaurant based on the received hole number. Then, the estimated time is displayed to the provider of the product together with the provision content information 25.

[0060] <3.5. Updating user payment information 27> In S5, the settlement unit 16 updates the user payment information 27 based on the product information 24 accepted in S4. In this embodiment, when the check-in information 23 is registered, the golf course usage fee is registered as the user payment information 27. Then, when the product information 24 is registered, the user payment information 27 for each user is updated based on the price of the registered product.

[0061] <3.6. Registration of recipient information 26> In S6, the supply request receiving unit 15 receives destination information 26 from the user terminal device 4. In this embodiment, a user who is to receive a product sits at a table in a product providing facility, and reads a two-dimensional code provided at each table using the user terminal device 4. Then, the supply request receiving unit 15 receives, from the user terminal device 4, product provision location identification information based on the read two-dimensional code, the user ID of the user who read the two-dimensional code, and the reception time as destination information 26.

[0062] In addition, when the user is a group, the supply request receiving unit 15 may receive product supply location identification information from the user terminal device 4 of any one of the users in the group, thereby receiving destination information 26 from a user in the group linked to that user.

[0063] In this embodiment, a two-dimensional code is provided for each table or seat, but one two-dimensional code may be provided anywhere in the restaurant. In this case, the product receiving area or counter is accepted as the product provision location identification information. In addition, when the product provision facility is a teahouse, one two-dimensional code is provided somewhere in the facility, but multiple two-dimensional codes may be provided.

[0064] <3.7. Display of product and table combinations> In S7, the display processing unit 17 performs display processing of the combination of the product and the table based on the provision content information 25 accepted in S4 and the provision destination information 26 accepted in S6, and displays it to the product provider.

[0065] <3.8. Check-out reception and payment processing> In S8, the payment unit 16 accepts input related to check-out and executes payment processing. The payment processing in this embodiment refers to a process in which the payment unit 16 performs payment based on the user payment information 27 and the user's payment information, and transmits the payment details to the golf course core system 3.

[0066] <3.9. Updating of usage information> Then, in S9, the update unit 13 transmits the user ID of the user who made the payment to the golf course main system 3, thereby updating the usage information.

[0067] As described above, S1 to S9 allow the user to use the golf course while avoiding contact with people as much as possible from reservation to payment. This allows the golf course to operate with less manpower. Also, by ordering products before entering the product providing facility and having a two-dimensional code on the table read to indicate that the user has sat down at the table, efficient product provision can be achieved.
