Best co-op shop management games
There is more to running a shop than keeping the till open. Stock needs ordering, shelves need filling, and customers tend to arrive just when someone is busy with another job. In co-op, your group can divide the work and decide how to make the business run better. These games cover retail shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and other service businesses. Some focus on hands-on shifts with a queue to manage. Others give you longer-term decisions about layout, equipment, staff, or expansion. The appeal is seeing the place work because everyone has taken care of a different part of it.

How we picked these games
We include games where players jointly operate a shop or service business and its everyday work is central to the cooperative mode. Stock, sales, orders, customer service, and business development are relevant systems. Restaurants qualify through running the venue as well as preparing food; an occasional trading screen in a wider adventure is not enough.
