Abstract
A sales area management system includes an accounting device and a gate device. The accounting device acquires transaction information and executes accounting processing based on the transaction information. The accounting device receives the number of people associated with the transaction information and outputs payment completion information along with the associated number of people. The gate device includes receives the payment completion information and the associated number of people and detects the number of customers passing through the gate device. A notification control unit of the gate device causes a notification unit to indicate the remaining number of people corresponding to the associated number of people minus the detected number of people passing the gate.
