1. An order management server configured to be connected via a communication network to each of a first terminal that is to be operated by an orderer, a second terminal that is to be operated by an order recipient that accepts an order from the orderer, and a third terminal that is to be operated by a third party different from both the orderer and the order recipient, the order management server comprising:
a programmable computer that includes one or more processors communicatively connected to a storage, the storage including a computer-readable storage medium that includes a non-transitory storage medium and, stored in the non-transitory storage medium, a program comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed cause the computer's one or more processers to perform as functional blocks of the order management server, comprising:
a first receiver functional block configured to receive, via the communication network from the first terminal, an order content indicating a content of an order and to store the order content in an order information database in the storage, as a received order content;
a first creating unit functional block configured to access the storage and create a work order, based on the received order content stored in the order information database, and to store the work order in the storage as a stored work order;
a first viewing controller functional block configured to control display of the stored work order so as to be viewed, via the communication network, from the second terminal;
a second receiver functional block configured to receive, from the second terminal via the communication network an acknowledgement information indicating acceptance of the order, and to store the received acknowledgement information in the storage;
a second creating unit functional block configured to access the received acknowledgement information in the storage, create a written order acknowledgement for the accepted order, based on information comprising the received acknowledgement information, and store the written order acknowledgement in the storage; and
a second viewing controller functional block configured to control display of the written order acknowledgement in so as to be viewed from the third terminal via the communication network, a manner that renders a part of the order content visible and a part of the order content invisible from view of the written order acknowledgement on the third terminal.
