Small but effective TIPS

[Farakli]

I have played more solo hours than is healthy and i know the strategies

Make enough space for each product on product shelves... so that you don't have to restock the shelves during the day. Use your daytime employees at the cash registers and only restock the shelves in the evening. (Have at least 30-40 units of each product on the shelves at the start of the day.) Also, for extra money, recycle boxes into blue bins—this is very efficient early on.

Thieves can appear on the seventh day, and their number increases with difficulty, lack of stock, more that double the prices, and if there are more than 8 customers at the cash registers. Build a maze inside with barriers and outside with outdoor planters. Thieves will be significantly slowed down (because they run fast in straight lines), giving you more time to react, and security will have more time to catch them (they are only active outside the market.

Decorations don’t have any effect, but some can be useful. Lighting, in particular, is very helpful. Additionally, barricades and planters, as mentioned earlier, can serve you well.

Unlock the path to employees first. Only increase the number of customers if you have been able to handle days easily so far. Also, don't unlock unnecessary products early on.

Product pricing matters. Ideally, increase prices by 40-60%. You can raise prices by 99%, but this will slow down your leveling progress, and it will take longer to earn franchise points.

Market inflation happens every Thursday, so you should buy all your stock the night before (Wednesday) and sell it the next day at a higher price. (Also, round prices for easier cash handling at the register.)

LATE-GAME TIPS:

-I recommend having 5 cashiers (more isn't needed), at least 3 security guards, and with the rest of your staff, you can do whatever you like.
-You can never have enough storage shelves. I personally keep a minimum of 50+ items for each product in stock the closest of the shelves for those products (to minimize employee walking distance) and occasionally check to make sure you dont have all teh boxes at low of the same porduct ( for example: 4 boxes with a total of 6 items... waste of space) . Also, keep 20 extra shelves (optional).
-Don’t unlock the employee perk to recycle boxes—it's a huge time waster (I’m wish this perk allows you to swap out containers).
-At this stage, you're primarily aiming for achievement. The gameplay looks like this: Open the market -> Play another game or watch a video for 20 minutes -> Switch employees to restock -> Go back to other activity -> Buy products that are in short supply -> Put employees on storage, maybe leave 2 on restock -> Continue with another activity for 20 minutes -> Close the market.
-Officially, you no longer have a life.

What level are you

-> Product pricing matters. Ideally, increase prices by 40-60%. You can raise prices by 99%, but this will slow down your leveling progress, and it will take longer to earn franchise points.

The amount you increase has no effect on what or how many products customer's buy (unfortunately). The absolute technical bext thing to do is set the prices to 1.99x the price- 1 penny below 2x for a 0% chance of a customer complaining about too expensive. At 2x price theree is a 2% chance they will complain, and for every penny past 2x there is an additional 2% chance they will complain. If they complain they do not buy the product ):

Otherwise great tips!

The deco maze tips are great. Definitely gonna try that

Yes, we can be a cashier while letting other employees do the restocking, but it won't be efficient later on when at a high difficulty level. At the same time, you don't have many employees needed and money to progress further at mid-game. I still recommend letting the cashiers do the work, as it is less likely to lead to long waiting lines, which causes thief when you need employees to restock. I'd like to have more restock employees sooner than any other roles.

Didn't say you did need, just specifying for other's to read so that they know they can raise their prices by that much to make the most exp they can
