INFORMATION PROVISION METHOD AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

An information provision method is implemented by an information management system performing communication with a parking lot management system. According to the information provision method, a point ID and parking time information are acquired from the parking lot management system. The point ID corresponds to a user riding on a vehicle parked in the parking lot. The parking time information indicates parking time at which the user parks the vehicle in a predetermined position in the parking lot. When the parking time is included in a meal time period, recommendation information is transmitted to the parking lot management system to cause an information terminal of the user who corresponds to the point ID to display the recommendation information. The recommendation information represents one or more stores each of whose frequency of use by the user is equal to or higher than a given level, and at least one restaurant.
