Workers & Hiring Guide

Community hiring order and roles. Unlock levels and names are often cited by players — confirm in GO Recruit in your build.

Hire via GO Recruit

Staff unlocks typically appear through GO Recruit as you hit level milestones.
Check the recruit board when you level up — new candidates may appear that weren’t there yesterday.

Early workers: restock first

Soft priority Early hires are often slow at checkout. Many players assign them to restock (and similar floor work) while you handle the register.

Empty shelves lose more money than a slightly longer queue you control yourself.
Pair restock workers with the 8:00 AM prep window.

Serious checkout ~ level 25

Community guides often say a dedicated, stronger cashier becomes worth it around level ~25.
Clark Cash is frequently cited as a solid checkout hire in that window — verify availability and stats in your version.
Until then, self-checkout + restock help is a common early pattern.

Primary and secondary roles

Workers usually take a primary job and may cover a secondary task. Exact role names change with UI patches; the idea stays:

Focus	When	Notes (community)
Restock / floor	Early	Fill shelves; free you for checkout
Checkout / cashier	~mid (often ~25)	e.g. Clark Cash often cited
Secondary role	When available	Cover gaps; don’t overload one weak worker

Don’t expect miracles A brand-new hire on checkout can bottleneck the line. If queues explode, take the register back and leave them on restock until a better cashier unlocks.
