In this case, payment can be processed using the payment method registered in advance by the person making the reservation.
[0085] If the person reserving selects a discounted payment instead of full payment (step 618), the payment amount may be divided by the total number of the person reserving and accompanying persons, and the payment may be processed separately (step 620). In this case, accompanying person information is required for the payment process, and the accompanying person information may be input by the person reserving at the time of reservation, or may be additionally input in the payment processing step. Companion information may include the name, contact information, etc. of the accompanying person. If the accompanying person is a member, payment may be made through the companion terminal 530 based on the contact information and payment method information previously registered as member information. If the accompanying person is not a member, they may be encouraged to join as a member, and payment may be made by inputting payment method information along with membership registration. If the accompanying person does not join as a member, payment may be made by inputting only payment method information.
[0086] In one embodiment, the payment process (steps 616 and 620) may be performed based on the encrypted and distributed stored payment method information. If the booker and / or companion has registered their payment method information as a member, payment may be processed based on the encrypted and distributed stored payment method information, and if the companion is not a member, payment may be processed after the input payment method information is authenticated in conjunction with a payment method authentication server.
[0087] In one embodiment, when a payment is made based on registered payment method information, the payment may be automatically processed without additional authentication by the user, while in another embodiment, the payment may be processed after confirmation and authentication of the user as to whether or not to proceed with the payment using the registered payment method.
[0088] In one embodiment, the customer can select full payment or discounted payment at the time of reservation, and can preset their preferred payment method as member information.
[0089] In one embodiment, a subscriber can select automatic deferred payment when registering payment method information, and can receive information on usage details and payment details after the automatic payment is processed.
[0090] In one embodiment, the billing can be a total billing based on the total cost of the facility usage by the user and the companion, or items can be set to be divided according to the usage details. For example, when using a golf course facility, the green fee, cart fee, and caddy fee can be billed, and the cost of food and beverages purchased at the fairway snack bar and the cost of items purchased at the pro shop can be calculated according to the usage details of each person.
[0091] Although the present specification has been described with a focus on golf course reservations and check-in, locker allocation, use of the fairway snack bar, and payment of golf course facility fees, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and it will be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention can be similarly applied where check-in and facility allocation for reservation holders are performed and payment of facility fees are made comprehensively.
[0092] In this specification, the management system and method for an unmanned fairway snack bar have been described as a first embodiment, and the automatic payment system and method have been described as a second embodiment, but it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the management and automatic payment of the unmanned fairway snack bar can be performed sequentially, and in this case, the management system and method for the unmanned fairway snack bar and the automatic payment system and method can be embodied and executed together. The unmanned fairway snack bar management server 230 and the automatic payment server 520 can be embodied in a single server or in separate servers.
