A shop day that turns a profit

How to spend a shop day so the day's takings pay for the next delivery, using only the shop behaviour the game defines.

Applies to

no version stated by this build (see the sources page)

Before you start

• Packs in stock
• Shelf space you can reach
• Access to the pricing screens

Steps

1. Open packs before opening hours rather than during them.
   an automatic opener exists for bulk opening and keeps its own progress
2. Price what you opened before it reaches a shelf.
   price tags are separate objects applied to goods
3. Fill the shelves, because a shelf only sells what it holds.
   shelf contents are tracked by a manager
4. Put the day's profit into one upgrade at a time.
   upgrades are a defined set of choices reached from the expansion screen

Common mistakes

• Opening packs during opening hours and leaving the counter empty.
• Shelving cards that have not been priced.
• Buying decoration before you have stock.
