Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

In Supermarket Together, you're the boss, juggling everything from cashier duties to restocking and ordering. Solo play, especially on higher difficulty settings, can quickly become overwhelming, even with hired help. That's where the self-checkout comes in—a lifesaver for solo players struggling with late-game chaos.

How to Build a Self-Checkout in Supermarket Together?

Building a self-checkout terminal is easy. Open the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. 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?

The self-checkout works as expected: it diverts customers from busy cashier lines, reducing wait times and minimizing the risk of impatient customers turning into shoplifters. While inexpensive, consider your priorities. In the early game, prioritizing new products from the Franchise Board might be a wiser investment than immediately building a self-checkout. If you have friends playing cooperatively, additional checkout counters manned by players may be a more efficient early-game solution. Hiring employees is another option to consider before investing in self-checkout.

However, self-checkouts aren't without drawbacks. They increase the likelihood of shoplifting. The more self-checkout terminals you have, the higher the risk of theft. Therefore, bolstering your store's security is crucial if you choose to utilize them.

Late-game challenges in higher difficulty settings—increased customer volume, more trash, and more shoplifters—make self-checkout terminals a valuable asset for solo players. They offer a much-needed assist when managing your store becomes overwhelming.
