Keeping the shelves selling during a busy day

How to keep product on the sales floor while customers are in the shop, using the shelf and pricing behaviour the game defines.

Applies to

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

Before you start

• Priced stock ready to go out
• More than one shelf kind available
• Packs in reserve

Steps

1. Check which shelf kind a product belongs on before you restock.
   the game separates plain shelves, card shelves and combination shelves
2. Restock from the shelf manager view rather than walking the room blind.
   shelf contents are tracked by a manager
3. Keep priced stock in reserve so a gap can be filled immediately.
   a card's price is applied through a price tag object, so an unpriced card cannot simply be shelved
4. Keep boxes where you can reach them, because packaging is physical.
   packaging boxes exist separately for cards, items and shelves

Common mistakes

• Leaving a shelf empty while customers are inside.
• Putting cards on the wrong kind of shelf.
• Keeping all your stock in sealed boxes and none on the floor.
