Stores only for the first product

[maruma]

I'm playing this game from today. What problems would arise if my store continued to carry only the initial products? The store's rating is now level 15. The funds of the shop amounted to 5 thousand dollars. I thought that if I was making money every day, I wouldn't need to expand my stores and products.

Personally I would expand and purchase licenses. I currently average $1,800 to $2,500 profit a day. Of course how you play is down to you.

I appreciate your answer.
I see. It is true that if I expand my store, the amount of income and expenses will increase.
But in this game, isn't there any penalty or disadvantage if I don't expand my store?

it's an early Alpha, nobody will cut your head off or do any other punishment at this point

Since it is only an initial product, it means that you do not need a single license. Therefore, it seems that the tutorial mission "Obtain a product license" will remain displayed forever. Other than that, I don't think there will be any particular impact.

my market is lvl 45 with ONLY 18 products. i am scared to buy next license. my restockers are on limit so that i must help. the customers are buying too fast and to many. i have set the price from every product on 10 $. but its no solving permanently. the bills are too cheap. at the moment the game is a running simulator.

As your store level increases, the number of customers you get will increase and that will mean you have to carry more and more of those initial items just to have enough on hand. Having hundreds of each item just to make it through each day will get pretty stagnant and you will need to expand the size just t carry that many.

I appreciate your answer.
I see. The market price of the latter product is high. If a product contains a large number of items per box, it would be attractive. If possible, it would be better if the purchase price was cheap. However, when I have a new license for a product, it is difficult for me to choose not to handle new products with low profit margins.
This is because customers give low evaluations to out-of-stock products.
It has a negative impact on the store's reputation.

I'm not affected by the penalty in the game.

I see. That problem exists.
In that case, if I only obtain the following license, the problem will not occur.
I think tea is an attractive product in terms of profitability.
However, other licensed products are not attractive in terms of profitability.

Each license is worth getting as it allows you to sell more expensive products and make more money. The more money you make, the less grindy the game feels.

I appreciate your answer.
I share your concerns.
yes. I saw the enlarged store on YouTube. It's too busy.
It certainly appears that the larger stores have higher profits.
However, I had doubts as to whether the amount of revenue was commensurate with the busyness.
That's why I asked this question.
My small store generated over $500 in revenue from initial products alone.
And products are only restocked once a day.
I have a lot of time to spare as I am the only one working at the cash register.
I can also set prices in detail.
This is because the number of products is small.
It is true that larger stores can earn more than that amount.
But that's natural.
However, unless revenue significantly increased at a rate greater than the rate of increase in the number of products, I did not find expanding the store attractive from a managerial perspective.
Because that means more expenses and more work.
In that case, isn't the expansion of this game store just a matter of being busy with transportation?

Needing to expand the store is inevitable. More customers due to increasing store level leads to needing more product on the shelves, which in turn requires more shelves and more space.

I am at lvl 70 and only 1 license left. When you lvl up you don't need to add license immediatly. And also when product numbers grow, customers start to by different products. I only buy 1-2 box for each product at morning some day less. thats enough to feed all those shelves. For each half of the shelf I put one product. But some products sell lesser when you go up lvls, so for example black and green tea share the half shelf now. Also toilet paper sell like crazy at the lower lvl but now only 1 full shelf is enough for all day. After lvl 45 you reach customer soft limit which is 55-60 max till the and lvls. And your daily profit for every day approximatly 4200-5300 after lvl 55. at my lvl 3 check outs is enough for now.
You don't need to rush, game is very earl access yet. But there is a bug now so you don't pay to your employees :) Casiers and stockers work for free till the dev fix it so this is a little advantage.

As the store's evaluation level increases, the number of customers increases.
I understand that.
But that only makes the store bigger.
For example, I double one shelf of powdered sugar.
But that only increases the number of initial product displays.
In that case, even if the store's evaluation level increases, is there a problem if I don't carry the newly licensed products?
That way, I have the minimum number and types of purchases.
Of course, it's not that busy either.
