[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Glosent, the operator of the QR smart order service 'Igeo Meokgeulkka,' announced on the 30th that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 23rd with the Small Business Association of Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, for a non-face-to-face order and payment service.


Through this MOU, Glosent will provide the 'Igeo Meokgeulkka' service to 'Jirisan GO,' an O4O (Online for Offline) service linking Gurye-gun's local tourism resources with commercial districts.


'Jirisan GO' is a service that, with advice from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and residents of Gurye-gun, selected 93 businesses around the tourist areas of Gurye-gun to provide information about these businesses to tourists. However, the existing service only allowed users to find the business names and phone numbers. Glosent will introduce its service 'Igeo Meokgeulkka' to 'Jirisan GO,' adding menu viewing and QR code functions.


By using 'Igeo Meokgeulkka,' customers can scan the QR code on the store table with their smartphones to order and pay without going to the counter. Even after ordering once, the 'Favorites' feature allows users to order on their next visit without scanning the QR code again.



Currently, Glosent has introduced a pilot service at two restaurants in Gurye-gun. Kim Taegun, CEO of Glosent, said, "We plan to gradually expand the service after the pilot operation," adding, "We feel a sense of responsibility to participate in the introduction of a new non-face-to-face order and payment system to help small business owners in Gurye-gun overcome the COVID-19 crisis."
