===Managing a Retailretail Storestore===

The simplest way of managing the store is through the [[Owned Businesses Panel|Owned Business Panel]] located in the bottom right of the UI, next to Needsneeds. From this panel, players can manage a Sim's retail store or restaurant as they would with a Registerregister. The Businessbusiness Panelpanel shows each lot's name, whether it is open or closed, and how many Sim-hours the business has stayed open for.

When the store is Closedclosed, Playersplayers can change the Priceprice Markupmarkup (this adds a percentage of money added onto the normal Objectsobjects price range), Players can see their Totaltotal Itemsitems Soldsold, Outgoingoutgoing costs (this is if the Sim has bought Advertisementsadvertisements) and Netnet Profitprofit (Overalloverall Profitprofit from Sellingselling, restocking and Employeeemployee Wagewage),. Players can also transfer Retailretail funds from one Householdhousehold to the Retailretail Lotlot (this is helpful if Sims have multiple Retailretail Lotslots and which to supply a certain lot with certain amounts of money), Playersand can Accessaccess [[Business perk#The Sims 4: Get to Work|Retail Perks]], Managemanage Employeesemployees (hiring, firing and seeing Employeesemployees Skillsskills), Managingmanage Employeesemployees outfits, and the final button on the retail Panelpanel is to Sellsell the Storestore.[[File: Business Panel Selection.png|thumb|257x257px]] When the Storestore is Openopen most buttons appear on display except Playersplayers cannot change the Priceprice Markupmarkup while open as well as Sellsell the Storestore.
