Responsible for checking the boxes placed on the storage stand and transferring them to the sales shelf. This makes it much easier to monitor your sales and accessory shelves.

Employee Levels


The employee hire page lists employees under three main headings:

  • ☆ 1-Star Employees: Very cheap, but can take a very long time to complete assigned tasks.
  • ☆☆ 2-Star Employees: More reasonably priced; task speed varies from normal to slow.
  • ☆☆☆ 3-Star Employees: Expensive, but work efficiently and quickly.


Depending on their star level, employees can help the player with animal care, shop cleaning, cashier duties, and warehouse work.

Employee Types


Each employee can be assigned up to three different tasks:

  • Cleaning and Care: Cleans the shop and animal habitats.
  • Cashier: Works at the cash register, prepares the customer’s requests, and delivers items to them (if the cashier feature is enabled for that employee).
  • Storekeeper: After checking stock levels for accessories and animal feed in the warehouse stand, automatically moves items to the sales shelves as needed.

Employee Statistics

  • Animal Phobia:Represents the employee’s phobia toward specific animals; they refuse to care for those animals.
  • Feeding Percent: Feeds animals when their habitat’s hunger level drops below 65%.
  • Feeding Speed: Time (in seconds) it takes to feed animals (e.g., 1.2 seconds). Higher numbers mean slower feeding.
  • Water Spending: The amount of water used to clean habitats and the shop. Higher numbers mean more water consumption per object cleaned.
  • Clean Speed: Time (in seconds) it takes to clean living areas (e.g., 1.4 seconds). Higher numbers mean slower cleaning.
  • Stock Speed: How quickly the storekeeper restocks accessory and feed stands. Higher numbers mean slower restocking.
  • Cashier Feature: Indicates whether the employee can perform cashier duties.
