central pricing machine

[Wyldayes]

there is nothing telling us how much we should increase prices to make profit without going over. it also doesn't tell us what items are priced too high when customers complain unless we happen to see the text bubble appear when they complain. can we get an option in the pricing machine that is a plus 10% button or plus 20% button or something along those lines that help us adjust prices in a quicker and more efficient way? and please if anyone has a better suggestion feel free to voice it.

The tutorial explains how much you can increase the price of your products. Spoiler: you can raise your product prices up to twice the market price.

Some people prefer doubling the price but reducing it by 10 or 20 cents, just to ensure customers won’t complain.

Did the same thing. Double the market price and go back to the last 5 cent by me. So if it would sell for 2.02 i sell it for 2, at 2.00 i would go 1.95.
Get to happen that at some days they say costs are to high, but at getting around 14k money per day the maximum i see was 1 customer finding a product to pricy

Do you read the tutorial? Every Thursday the price change, only thing that doesn't change is what you just unlock, that get this week free from changes.
Prices also always go up which is why you need to look for it.

Thats also why severall people complain about the price change system now. If you have unlocked everything you need (depending on your math or fast typing calculator skills) 30-60 min to change all prices.
And some items change for 10 dollar and more in sale price or need 2-3 weeks and you pay more then what you have typed in 3 weeks before to get the max profit.

it all but takes me about 10 minutes to change all the product prices. I created a spreadsheet that does it all for me.
I go to the manager blackboard update all the prices to the excel sheet, then from excel sheet i update it to the central pricing machine.
Altho its faster in a group, a friend an i split the task. I update the excel sheet, he does the pricing machine. We are done in 5 minutes that way.

Not all products change tho, alcohol, meat and seafood among things dont change.

Hmm you definitly didn't unlock every item or you have a totally bad time sense.
The Idea with spreadsheet isnt that bad at all if you are bad at maths, im good at it the time i would need to add it their and back to game would cost me more time.

But 10 minutes? :D Good joke, their are 226 items in the game, which mean if you can do that in 10 minutes that would make 2,7 seconds per item to export it to sheet and reenter the new price that would be insane. My 30-60 min was the real time. Maybe less with your spreedsheet and a second screen. Just look at the time you are ingame or a real clock.

And i already mention that items you just unlock dont change this week, i wasnt sure about the next week, if i rememeber it right thats also protectet, depending when you unlocked it, but i wasnt sure about that which is why i just write where im 100% sure.
They definitly all change price, i need to adjust everything every week, every alcohol needs changes between around 10-20$ per week for me.
