Abstract
A store management server configured to communicate with a first gate control device that controls a first gate installed in a store includes a network interface, and a processor configured to identify a customer entering the store, acquire customer information about the detected customer, detect that the customer is holding a commodity in the store, acquire sales restriction information about the commodity held by the customer, determine whether the customer is eligible to buy the commodity held by the customer based on the acquired customer information and sales restriction information, and control the network interface to transmit, when it is not determined that the customer is eligible to buy the commodity, a first command to the first gate control device. The first command causes the first gate control device to close the first gate.
