Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

Supermarket Together: A Guide to Self-Checkout Terminals

In Supermarket Together, managing a bustling store solo can be challenging. Juggling cashier duties, restocking, and ordering products often leads to chaos. While friends can help, solo players, especially on higher difficulties, might find the late game overwhelming even with hired employees. This is where self-checkout terminals become invaluable. This guide explains how to build and whether they're worth the investment.

How to Build a Self-Checkout Terminal

Building a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (usually by pressing Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. Construction costs $2,500, a manageable sum with efficient money-making strategies.

Is Building a Self-Checkout Worth It?

Self-checkout terminals function as expected: they alleviate pressure on staffed counters, reducing customer wait times and the risk of impatient customers turning to theft. However, early-game investment should prioritize unlocking new products and stocking shelves. With friends or hired employees, multiple staffed checkout counters might be a more efficient early-game solution.

The downside? Self-checkout increases the risk of shoplifting. More terminals mean a higher probability of robberies. Therefore, upgrading store security is crucial when implementing self-checkout.

Late-game challenges, particularly on higher difficulty settings, involve increased customer traffic, more litter, and more shoplifters. Self-checkout terminals provide a much-needed boost to manage this increased workload and maintain profitability. They represent a valuable investment for solo players struggling with the demands of a busy store.
