Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

In Supermarket Together, you're in charge of a bustling store, juggling everything from checkout to restocking. Solo play, especially at higher difficulties, can become overwhelming. While hiring employees helps, a self-checkout system can significantly ease the pressure. This guide explains how to build and utilize this valuable asset.

How to Build a Self-Checkout

Building a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout terminal. It costs $2,500. While a worthwhile investment, prioritize stocking and franchise unlocks early in the game.

Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?

Self-checkout terminals alleviate checkout congestion, reducing customer wait times and minimizing theft risks associated with long queues. However, consider these points:

• Early Game: Focus on stocking and expansion before investing in self-checkout. Multiple checkout counters and employee hiring are more effective early on.
• Theft Risk: Self-checkout increases the likelihood of shoplifting. Invest in security upgrades to mitigate this.

Later in the game, or on higher difficulty settings, the increased customer traffic and higher likelihood of shoplifters make self-checkout a valuable tool for managing the store's workload. It's a strategic investment to help maintain control and profitability.
