Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

In Supermarket Together, you're the boss, juggling everything from cashier duties to restocking. Solo play, especially on higher difficulties, can quickly become overwhelming. While having friends helps immensely, even with hired employees, late-game can be a struggle. That’s where the self-checkout comes in—a lifesaver for solo players.

How to Build a Self-Checkout in Supermarket Together?

Building a self-checkout is easy. Open the Builder Menu (press Tab), and scroll to find the self-checkout terminal. It costs $2,500—a manageable investment given the various money-making opportunities in the game.

Is Building a Self-Checkout Worth it in Supermarket Together?

Self-checkouts work as expected: they alleviate pressure on your staffed counters, reducing customer wait times and the risk of impatient customers leaving. Remember, long wait times can lead to shoplifting.

The low cost makes it tempting to build early, but prioritizing new products from the Franchise Board might be wiser initially. If you have friends, multiple staffed counters are more effective early on. Hiring employees for existing counters is also a viable strategy.

However, self-checkouts aren't without drawbacks. They increase the risk of theft. The more self-checkouts you have, the more likely shoplifters will appear. Invest in security upgrades to protect your profits.

Late-game, especially on higher difficulties, brings increased customer volume, more trash, and more thieves. Self-checkouts become invaluable tools for managing the chaos and keeping your solo store running smoothly.
