Most people consider grocery shopping an errand to endure on a Sunday afternoon.
Need to unlock more products in Supermarket Simulator?
However, there is a slight learning curve to endure as you begin your new business venture.
We had to restart our campaign several times to get the hang of this compelling business sim.
Fortunately, like any good boss, we’ll train you with all the lessons we’ve learned.
If your first thought was, “Wow, that’s not much,” you’re right.
Every dollar counts in Supermarket Together, anddeveloping a significant profit will take at least a week.
Therefore, you must stretch out those $5,000 for as long as possible.
We made this mistake in our first playthrough.
Fortunately, we bought smarter in our second playthrough, resulting in more success.
How Should I Spend My Start-Up Money?
We don’t expect you to follow our strategy verbatim.
However, we recommend spending your start-up money on these items before opening your supermarket on day one.
That leaves you with a safety net of less than $2,500 to cover future restocks and other expenses.
At this point, a manager needs to jump in to launch the register again.
Neither solution feels suitable for anyone involved.
Unfortunately, you’ve got the option to make the same mistake while playing Supermarket Together.
You won’t be able to give customers backlessthan their allotted change.
However, if you surpass the required change,you’ll be forced to give it to the customer.
There’s no way to switch out that $10 bill for the dollar you meant to take.
What’s worse is that this error will affect your transaction profit.
That’s why you must pay close attention when making cash transactions while cashiering.
Empty Boxes Can Transfer Products
Suppose you want to reorganize your product shelves.
How would you do so?
All you need isan empty box.
However, these functions are equally essential to what goes on in the Front of House (FoH).
A well-organized storage room is critical to efficiently restocking your products without stalling your supermarket’s business.
That’s why we listed a Storage Shelf in our start-up budget at the beginning of this guide.
One shelf canstore up to ten productsand includeslabels for each product you store on it.
Imagine if you threw all your excess stock in the backroom all willy-nilly or tried stacking each box manually.
You’d either have a labyrinth of boxes or a Jenga tower ready to fall.
That’s not helpful at all.
So, take our advice andinvest in a storage shelf!
Here’s how to hire more employees in Supermarket Simulator.
Fortunately, that’s not the case.you could change your employees' job assignmentsthroughout the day.
Reassigning jobs is an excellent way to meet the needs of your store.
In that case, you canvisit the employee blackboard and reassign the employee to restockwhile you overtake cashiering duties.
How To Use The Employee Blackboard
The employee blackboard is straightforward to use.
Yourtotal amount of employees is at the topof the board.
Then, you’lluse the arrows to assign your employees to one of three jobs.
You must reduce the number of employees working one job first before moving them to another.
Every time you level up your supermarket, you’ll receive aFranchise Point (FP).
The Franchise Point Blackboard resembles a skill tree you would see in an RPG.
Naturally, this setup may compel you to spend your FPs immediately.
However, that decision is not wise, especially when spending FPs on launching new products.
Once you unlock new products with FPs, your customers expect them on the sales floor.
That means you’ll have to purchase these products in addition to restocking the rest of your store.
Installing new shelving for these products is another necessary expense.
Overall, that’s a lot of dough; we don’t mean bread.
Ensure you haveenough money to consistently stock and shelve new productsbefore unlocking a new Franchise Perk.
Otherwise, you’ll go broke racing to keep up with new expenses you cannot afford.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
Each business day in Supermarket Together lastsfrom 8:00 AM (8:00) to 10:30 PM (22:30).
In our experience, once we unlocked pet food, we couldn’t keep it off the shelves.
It would be best if you observed these patterns to make thoughtful purchases.
Fortunately, you might check your inventory by opening theProduct Order menu on your Manager Blackboard.
Use this information to decide what products you gotta buy before the start of each business day.
Product Order Menu Key
There arethree colored boxes adjacent to each productin the Product Order menu.
Each box contains a number value.
Here is what each value means:
The right price is the heart of any business.
