Playful Age has announced the release of Supermarket Management, a new captivating time management game. The fascinating supermarket simulator offers first-hand experience of providing top notch customer service, managing the store and making your way to the top.

In Supermarket Management you take the role of Kate, the ambitious and enterprising recent college graduate who has just got a job in the Superstore Chain. The goal of the game is to earn money, upgrade the store, use little marketing tricks to boost income and work your way up from a shop assistant to an experienced manager.

At the start of the game you have to do with a small store and the most basic equipment. At this stage your duties are mainly filling counters and serving customers. As you advance through the levels you earn money, get promotion and the opportunity to invest money into buying and upgrading equipment and hiring assistants that will help you handle increasing customer traffic.

One of the Supermarket Management exciting challenges is that in this game all the customers choose for themselves what they want to buy. To get the best scores you must keep your customers as happy as possible. You have to choose the right product for each customer, offer them food samples, make cakes and do it all as fast as possible. If you are quick enough to make it in the limited time, you get the Expert’s Prize. Be attentive, satisfy customers’ needs, don’t keep them waiting, and you will be rewarded with extra coins that you can spend on upgrades for the store and personal upgrades. You can also take your chance to make more money on sales days: these mini-games challenge your concentration and response, and your skills pay off.

The tutorial integrated into the game ensures that you will have no problems getting into the world of supermarket management. Rich colors, stunning graphics, nice details and a great variety of products, services and equipment purchases make the game extremely enjoyable.
