Challenge FAQ

Grocery store simulator challenge modes

What changes in Easy, Standard, and Hard?

Easy lowers the net-worth goal and gives demand/cost help. Standard keeps the normal model. Hard starts with less cash, higher costs, weaker demand, and a higher target.

Where is my personal best saved?

Your best result is saved only in this browser using localStorage. There are no accounts or server saves.

What decisions matter most?

Watch shelf availability, freshness, checkout wait, shrink, and labor coverage before running bigger promotions or expanding checkout lanes.

Can I download my grocery store results?

Yes. The results screen can create a local CSV with completed monthly evidence and the current partial month. It includes operating settings, staff counts, foot traffic, customers served, lost customers, shelf availability, freshness, checkout wait, shrink, costs, profit, cash, and net worth, and nothing is uploaded.

Keep learning Test your assumptions with our interactive tools: quantify margins in the Markdown Optimization Lab or model operational bottlenecks in the Inventory Turnover Lab.
