Plan your next Supermarket Together session
Our guide helps you master Supermarket Together by breaking down each core system and offering practical observations. Use these exercises to compare strategies, fine‑tune your store layout, and get the most out of your crew and upgrades without relying on hidden tricks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Balancing Multiplayer Load
Observe how customer demand scales with each additional player. Compare a two‑player session to a full sixteen‑player game, noting bottlenecks in checkout and restocking. Adjust role assignments to keep service smooth.
- Coordinate roles with teammates to cover all store duties efficiently.
- Communicate when a player is handling a surge of customers to avoid overlap.

Optimizing Franchise Point Allocation
Track the points earned each day and test spending them on different blackboard perks. Record which upgrades most quickly improve sales volume versus employee efficiency, then prioritize those.
- Prioritize skills that improve employee efficiency early on.
- Save points for high‑impact perks that unlock new product categories.
03 / THE GUIDE
Layout Planning for Product Capacity
Map out your store’s floor plan before expanding. Place high‑turnover items near entrances and cashiers, while reserving deeper sections for bulk or specialty goods. Compare customer flow before and after rearrangement.
- Upgrade storage before adding new product categories to avoid space shortages.
- Plan layout to keep high‑traffic items easily accessible.

Employee Role Specialization
Assign a small team to each of the seven roles and monitor their experience gain. Notice which roles level faster under heavy traffic and consider cross‑training to cover peak periods.
- Balance hiring across roles to prevent bottlenecks during rush hours.
- Focus training on roles that match your current store needs.

Security and Cleanliness Impact
Run two short sessions: one with CCTV and regular cleaning, another without. Measure differences in customer happiness scores and end‑of‑day revenue to see how extra duties affect profitability.
- Schedule regular cleaning to maintain high customer satisfaction.
- Invest in CCTV early to reduce losses from theft.
