Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

In Supermarket Together, you're the mastermind behind your own bustling supermarket, juggling everything from cashier duties to restocking shelves. Solo play can quickly become overwhelming, especially in later stages and on harder difficulties, even with hired employees. That's where the self-checkout comes in – a lifesaver for solo players struggling to keep up.

While teamwork makes the dream work, solo players often find themselves battling late-game chaos. Building self-checkout terminals can significantly alleviate this pressure.

How to Build a Self-Checkout in Supermarket Together?

Building a self-checkout terminal is simple. Open the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. It costs $2,500, a manageable sum once you've established a steady income stream.

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

Self-checkout terminals function as you'd expect: they alleviate pressure on your main checkout counters, reducing customer wait times and the risk of impatient shoppers turning into shoplifters. However, early-game investment might be better directed towards expanding your product range. With friends, multiple staffed counters are initially more efficient. Hiring employees is also a viable alternative.

While self-checkout offers convenience, it comes with a trade-off: increased shoplifting. More self-checkout terminals mean a higher chance of attracting thieves. Therefore, upgrading your store's security is crucial to protect your profits.

Late-game challenges, particularly on higher difficulty settings, bring increased customer volume, more litter, and more shoplifters. Self-checkout terminals are invaluable for managing this increased workload in solo play.
