Making more money?

[Immortel]

So how do you´ll rich mofos making some money?
I have lvl 5 gas station, lvl 3 repair shop, lvl 3 warehouse.
3 pumps, 16 shelves and three employees (mostly using just one per time for belt be constantly occupied and when bus arrives second one is for pumps) and still cant get over 5k. I mean my money stays in range of 1000 - 2000$.
Constantly buying stuff for shelves - for some time Im buying only those which are labeled with green led so I can make more money and thinking that I should cancel variety of shelves and keep those which will contains high price products cos high price product means higher profit, right?
But still... Im low on money so any tip will be nice.
No bugs for getting easy money.

Lockpicking cars is one way to get clean cash bonus (you can even lockpick police car while it's waiting for fuel - the police guy says nothing, probably looking the other way).

You can get more out of selling goods if, while ordering them, you also check price history and buy them when they're quite cheap. Just a green led means it's somewhere below average market price (for sellers, not consumers).

ive noticed its more beneficial to use an employee to make car repairs, As they're faster then you when they complete cars. Just keep putting all the money back into products that constantly sell. keep grinding i didn't start making big bucks untill i reached level 6, im level 8 now at 100k in cash.

With the register, i usually do that myself unless the party bus comes in or theres 5x people waiting in line ill call in reinforcements for the cashier. You level up quicker when you do it yourself and not miss any scans. Depending on your employee levels, they can hurt your service making it longer for you to level up also. Using the employees to clean is a lost cause, Cause they're too slow to keep up with the foot traffic. You will always be faster in cleaning then hiring an employee. On the regular i just alternate employees on only the cashier and garage. Filling is so quick and fast you don't need to pay them to do that.

I have max station/warehouse/workshop all the parking and 5 employees. I do nothing but order goods, stack shelves and clean. Garage,pumps and shop till are all handled by employees, I rotate some out early if another is fully rested. That way there is usually someone ready when once wants to rest.
I think the biggest thing (apart from what has already been mentioned above) is to stack your station full of as many shelves as you can, and keep them filled. Once you have a lot of products to sell, some customers can spend over $100 on various goods. With a steady stream of customers the cash soon starts flowing.
My time is spent ordering stuff, running to warehouse (swap a worker while waiting for the lorry to leave), quick sweep when I get back to the station. Stack shelves (everywhere I go in the station is with the broom out or a bag open lol). And....do it all again.
$70k and lvl 8 so far,

Also, try not to over order. As If your warehouse is full or nearly full (a) you have a lot of money in there you can't use, and (b) you wont be able to place the big orders when you really need to cos of lack of space (and cash?)

I made my 5,000 pay off money before I ever even got the 5 minute timer (I was seeing what would happen).

Basically I just pumped gas (over pumped) and picked trunk locks for a few hours until I had the money.

When I started the quest to stock my shelves... and they gave me 5 minutes to pay them back. I HAD THE MONEY!
They didn't take it though, I still got the crap beat out of me. LOL

Diversify your inventory. More shelf space won't do you any good if all its contents are the same especially when some customers want something specific. I made bank just on the store alone. My level 5 warehouse emptied within the same day and had to restock daily. Also pay attention to the fluctuating market prices and order extra when prices are down indicated by a red or green dot for each item on the order screen.
