Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

In Supermarket Together, managing a bustling store solo can be challenging. This guide focuses on the self-checkout terminal, a helpful tool for easing the workload.

Building a Self-Checkout

Adding a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (usually by pressing Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. Construction costs $2,500. While a worthwhile investment, consider prioritizing other early-game needs like stocking shelves and unlocking new products.

Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?

Self-checkouts alleviate cashier congestion, reducing customer wait times and the risk of shoplifting due to long lines. However, they do increase the likelihood of theft.

Early-game considerations: If playing with friends, prioritize additional checkout counters and staff assignment. Solo players might find self-checkouts beneficial in the late game or on higher difficulty settings. Hiring employees to manage traditional counters remains a viable alternative.

Security Implications

The more self-checkouts you have, the greater the risk of shoplifting. Invest in security upgrades to mitigate this risk, especially in later stages of the game when customer volume and theft attempts increase. Self-checkouts provide valuable assistance, but balanced security measures are crucial.
