  • Publication number: 20230049850
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a server includes a storage unit, a communication interface to connect to store servers and customer terminals, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to receive an order from a customer terminal via the communication interface for an item at a store in a plurality of stores at a facility shared by the plurality of stores and output a seat congestion information request to the customer terminal. The seat congestion information request causes the customer terminal to display a request on the customer terminal for an input of congestion information indicating a congestion state of shared seats at the facility. The control unit receives the congestion information from the customer terminal device and tracks the congestion state of the shared seats based on the received congestion information.

  • Publication number: 20230052611
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing device includes a control unit that is configured to store information relating to items of a plurality of stores at a shared facility and information relating to orders for the items of the plurality of stores. The control unit receives, from a terminal, an order for items of the plurality of stores. After a settlement process of the order is completed, the control unit transmits a settlement completion notice to the terminal and causes the terminal to display a settlement completion screen including a receipt request operator for transmitting a receipt request from the terminal. If the receipt request is transmitted from the terminal, and the order includes items from different stores in the plurality of stores, the control unit transmits separate electronic receipts for each of the different stores from which an item was ordered.

  • Publication number: 20230051594
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a communication interface for receiving order information from a user terminal and a memory unit for storing the received order information in association with a terminal identifier of the user terminal and an order status indicator. The order status indicator identifies one of a plurality of stages in a transaction from order reception to handover of an item to the user. A processor is configured to update the order status associated with the order information in response to an instruction to change an order status that is received from a store terminal. The processor causes a notification to be transmitted the user terminal when the order status associated with the order information is changed to indicate the item is ready for handover.
