Shop Tycoon lets you build, furnish and run your own shop. Hire employees, order goods and face various challenges on the way to success! Develop your business, discover new districts and try to meet the expectations of new customers.
## About This Game
Shop Tycoon is a store management simulator, in which the player has to build
a store, furnish it, hire employees, order goods, set prices, place the
ordered goods, and finally increase the popularity of the store and the
customer base and count profits, expand his venture, achieve new goals and
milestones or overcome various challenges.
## BUILD A STORE
Put up walls and floors, put in doors and windows. Do not forget to separate
the shopping space from the warehouse space, as the involuntary scattering of
goods across the entire store space can significantly make it difficult for
customers to shop in your store.
## FURNISH IT
To be able to sell goods, you need refrigerators and shelves that will allow
customers to choose the desired goods. Cash registers will also be useful,
where the employee will be able to scan the goods and collect the payment from
the customer, unless it is a self-service checkout – then the cashier will not
be needed, but additional precautions will be helpful so that no one
appropriates your goods, therefore industrial cameras and security will help
keep the store in good order.
## EMPLOY EMPLOYEES
Your store needs manpower (even if it’s an autonomous store), so you need
people to unpack the goods, put them on shelves, clean the store, handle cash
registers and keep order. Each potential employee has their own skills and
bonuses that allow them to work better in a given environment (e.g. by
checking out products at the cash register), but may be less successful in
some other field. You can choose from the list of proposed candidates who,
after being hired, will constantly improve their effectiveness, depending on
the current job.
## ORDER GOODS
You can choose from several wholesalers that specialize in various categories
of material goods, differ in price depending on the demand and supply in the
game world, have their own special offers and price reductions. Long-term
ordering in one and the same warehouse will favor more fruitful offers. Shop
Tycoon at this point only focuses on items from the food industry, so you can
choose from a variety of fruits, vegetables, processed items and so on, with
some of them divided into different classes, for example: barn eggs or free-
range chicken eggs.
## SET PRICES
It will be up to you what margin the customer will pay for the ordered goods,
but you have to take into account the consequences when the price is too high,
as this may negatively affect the reputation of the store, and thus the
interest of potential customers in shopping in your store.
## PLACE THE GOODS
After ordering the goods, it would be nice to let customers buy it, so you can
assign a specific product to a specific “container” and the employees will
take care of the rest. Remember to use refrigerators, otherwise food that
needs cooling can spoil quickly!
## SUCCESS!
Nothing else prevents you from opening a store, constantly developing it,
taking care of customer feedback, gaining popularity and counting banknotes on
your desk. I mean, maybe not literally – they will count themselves somewhere
in the interface.
