The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Unmanned stores have required advance membership registration and the issuance and management of duplicate keys, making it difficult to accommodate walk-in customers and creating security concerns. In response to rising demand for labor-saving operations, unmanned operations and unmanned retail, the company will validate the combination of convenient entry and security.
