Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

Supermarket Together: A Deep Dive into Self-Checkout Terminals

In Supermarket Together, managing your store's efficiency is key to success. While teamwork makes the dream work, solo players often face challenges, particularly in later stages and higher difficulty settings. Even with hired employees, keeping everything running smoothly can be a struggle. This is where the self-checkout terminal comes in.

How to Build a Self-Checkout Terminal

Building a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. It costs $2,500.

Is a Self-Checkout Worth the Investment?

Self-checkout terminals function as expected, diverting customers from busy cashier lines, reducing wait times, and minimizing customer impatience. This is particularly helpful when dealing with the increased customer flow in later game stages. However, there's a trade-off.

While self-checkout alleviates some pressure, especially for solo players, it increases the risk of shoplifting. More self-checkout terminals correlate with a higher probability of theft. Therefore, upgrading store security is crucial when implementing this system. Early-game players might find it more beneficial to invest in stocking shelves and utilizing the Franchise Board before purchasing self-checkout terminals, especially if playing with friends who can assist at the checkout counters. Hiring and assigning employees to checkout counters is also a viable strategy.

The self-checkout terminal offers a valuable solution to the increased demands of late-game scenarios and higher difficulty settings. However, careful consideration of the increased risk of theft and the need for enhanced security measures is essential.
