Abstract: A system includes a server apparatus and an authentication terminal. The server apparatus stores biometric information of at least one or more users who plan to use a hotel. The authentication terminal is managed by an affiliated business operator that has a partnership relationship with the hotel and transmits an authentication request that includes biometric information of a person to be authenticated to the server apparatus. The server apparatus identifies the person to be authenticated among the at least one or more users by a matching processing using the biometric information included in the authentication request and the stored biometric information. When the identified person to be authenticated is a hotel user who uses or has used the hotel within a predetermined period of time based on a time of processing the authentication request, the server apparatus provides the hotel user with a reward related to the affiliated business operator.
