Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

Supermarket Together: A Deep Dive into Self-Checkout Terminals

In Supermarket Together, you're the store manager, responsible for smooth operations. However, single-handedly managing everything – from the cashier to restocking – can quickly become overwhelming. While teamwork simplifies things, solo players, especially on higher difficulties, often struggle in the late game, even with hired staff. A self-checkout system offers a significant solution. This guide details its implementation and value.

How to Build a Self-Checkout

Building a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. Construction costs $2,500, a manageable sum given the game's various income streams.

Is a Self-Checkout Worth the Investment?

Self-checkout terminals function as expected: they alleviate cashier congestion, reducing customer wait times and minimizing the risk of impatient customers leaving. Prolonged checkout lines increase the likelihood of shoplifting.

While affordable, early-game investments should prioritize unlocking new products and stocking shelves. With friends, multiple staffed checkout counters are more efficient initially. Hiring employees for existing counters is also a viable strategy.

However, self-checkout introduces a trade-off: increased theft risk. More self-checkout terminals correlate with a higher probability of robberies. Therefore, bolstering store security is crucial when implementing this system.

Late-Game Advantages

Higher difficulty settings and the late game present significant challenges: increased customer volume, more litter, and more shoplifters. Self-checkout terminals become invaluable tools for solo players navigating these increased demands, providing essential support during stressful periods.
