Note: If there’s anything else you'd like me to add or if I've missed something, feel free to leave a comment.

• Tip #1:
  Time doesn't start until you open your store, so take as long as you need to prepare.
  
  
• Tip #2:
  Ending the day when the customers haven't all checkout will cause you to lose the customer before they can pay. Customers cannot leave the store unless they checkout, so take your time.
  
  
• Tip #3:
  Keeping lights off saves on electricity bills.
  
  
• Tip #4:
  Shipping fees are $2 for 1–3 items, $4 for 4-6 items, and $8 for 7-10 items.
  
  
• Tip #5:
  Online ordering is closed at 9PM, but the physical stores are still open.
  
  
• Tip #6:
  Buying from local stores on the map saves 50% on supply costs.
  
  
• Tip #7:
  Self checkouts are better than cashiers for regular checkouts. Hire a customer helper instead to manage multiple self checkouts.
  
  
• Tip #8:
  Mirrored self checkouts is better than the regular self checkouts space-wise as you can overlap them.
  
  
• Tip #9:
  Shoplifters don't carry brown paper bags and will look around suspiciously before taking an item.
  
  
• Tip #10:
  Guards only work in conjunction with either the antenna or security camera.
  
  
• Tip #11:
  Antenna ($350) will always catch shoplifters as they leave, but the security camera ($500) will mark shoplifters as soon as they steal, allowing guards to stop them earlier and keep products on the shelves.
  
  
• Tip #12:
  Loans have repayment fees as soon as you take them out, avoid them as much as you can.
  
  
• Tip #13:
  Increasing the duration of the loan reduces daily payments, but increases the overall interest you will pay.
  
  
• Tip #14:
  Set prices 5-7% above market price for minimal complaints. Customers complaints will prevent them from buying the product, losing more money overall than the few cents you can gain.
  
  
• Tip #15:
  Dirtiness will not affect your customers until your store gets really dirty. No need to fuss cleaning after every mess.
  
  
• Tip #16:
  Popularity of items will wildly shift from day to day, generally stocking 20 of an items will be enough for the day. Discounted goods will need more shelf space. A product on discount (40%-60%) can sell (100-200) items a day.
  
  
• Tip #17:
  Produce needs stalls and scale. The scale is always the last place a customer will go before checkout. Place the scale near your checkouts and hire a customer helper (can help with both scales and self checkout)
  
  
• Tip #18:
  Produce are measured in weights and have great profits. Generally two stall spaces per produce is enough for 1 day.
  
  
• Tip #19:
  Restockers will prioritize vehicles and shelves that are 50% empty. You can edit their permissions in the hiring page. Turn off 'use unlabeled racks' to keep your storage organized if you want to manually organize your storage
  
  
• Tip #20:
  Boxes of products comes in 4 sizes: Large (1 per rack space) [Cube, Rectangle], Medium (2 per rack space) [Cube, Square], Small (6 per rack space) [Rectangle], Very Small (18 per rack space) [Cube].
  
  
• Tip #21:
  Wholesale offers is always a good deal and is determined by your store price.
  
  
• Tip #22
  The best way to increase income is to buy more licenses, prioritize increasing variety of goods and only expand when necessary.
  
  
• Tip #23:
  More licenses increase the number of goods each customer buys. Use discounts to attract more customers.
  
  
• Tip #24:
  You can fit at least 82 racks in your storage room. Remember to move your computer in there too to free up space in the supermarket.
  
  
• Tip #25:
  You can boost your employees to make them work faster. Each boost cost $3 and each employee can be boosted up to 6 times to increase the boost duration.

You can pay your rent and bills in the management tab of your computer and employee salary is paid at the start of the next day automatically. Rent is determined by the size of your store (excluding storage), and Bills refers to the electricity bills from turning on the lights ($10-$100), fridges, and freezers in your store. They are generated every day and will be automatically paid after 3 days.

Hiring Cost: $100
Daily Wage: $80

Not a good choice, I would avoid hiring cashiers at all cost. Its better to use self checkouts and hire customer helpers instead. The cashier offers no improvement in speed compare to self checkouts and should be only used if you cannot afford self checkouts.

Hiring Cost: $100
Daily Wage: $90

Hire as much as you can, though you only really need one to automate the restocking process. Hiring a restocker allows you to customize their settings. I suggest turning 'use unlabelled racks' off as it it on by default so you can manage the storage space yourself.

[Working]: allow the restocker to start working
[Use Unlabelled Racks]: allow the restocker to place product on racks without labels
[Pick up box from ground]: allow the restocker to pick up boxes of product
[Remove Label]: allow the restocker to remove label from rack spaces without any products
[Drop Empty Box]: allow the restocker to throw away empty boxes on the floor
[Place products on shelves]: allow the restocker to restock products in the supermarket
[Restock From Vehicles]: allow the restocker to unload products on vehicles (highest priority)

Hiring Cost: $150
Daily Wage: $80

They will run all of your self checkouts and produce scales for you, a necessity in any supermarket. You only need one at first for your self checkouts, but get another one once you unlock the produce scales. A third one might be needed once you have 150+ customers a day.

Hiring Cost: $200
Daily Wage: $120

They will attack any discovered shoplifters and restock the stolen products. That means they need to be used in conjunction with either cameras, antenna, or both. The security camera is generally superior as it catches the thieves faster, so the guards spend less time restocking shelves. You only need one or you can turn off shoplifters in the settings.

Daily Wage: $80

They help you keep the supermarket clean, but dirtiness does not affect the customers until the supermarket becomes very dirty. You generally only need 1 janitor per 100-150 customers.

The restocker is essential to automate your supermarket alongside the janitor, guard, and helper. However, they are known to be very buggy, especially when you try to interfere with their job. Here are some thing you can do to prevent or fixed a bugged restocker.

• Do not move racks in the storage when restockers are restocking.
  
  
• Ensure there are labeled rack spaces for the product in the storage or turn on 'use unlabeled racks' in the restocker settings.
  
  
• If the restocker is stuck, turn the 'working' setting on and off to make the restocker drop what they're holding.
  
  
• Try rehiring or restarting the game if all else fails.

If you're aiming for a neat and well-organized storage space, this section is for you.

Along the left wall—shared between your supermarket and the storage area—you can fit 10 racks: 2 racks before the stairs and 8 racks after the stairs.

In the main area of the storage room, you can arrange 12 rows of racks, with each row consisting of 6 racks placed back-to-back, allowing for a total of 72 racks. Combined with the 10 racks along the wall, you can accommodate a total of 82 racks in the storage space.

The only vehicle worth getting, the pickup truck is how you can cut supply cost by transporting goods from local stores to your supermarket. The pickup truck can hold up to 6 units in height or 5 layers of boxes.

With the release of Supermarket Simulator 1.0, it introduces a new delivery system. Deliveries are done manually and can be a hassle to complete, but it's also another source of income that allows you to expand and progress the game faster. This section will walk you through the basic steps of doing a delivery.

1. Press T to open the delivery menu: pages of orders in one hand and a brown paper bag in another

2. Find the items in your supermarket and place then into the bag by holding right click

3. Once all the items on the order paper is satisfied, Press C to close the paper bag. (If you have a vehicle, you can place the paper bag in the vehicle)

4. Press M to open your map and locate the correct customer (name with a marker)

5. Navigate to them and hand them their order

If you are doing deliveries in bulk, you can use Q and E keys to swap between orders.

Here is my interpretation of the icons in the category sign:

The game has music, but you'll need to buy a speaker to listen to it. The speaker only transmit the music over a small area, not throughout the supermarket.
