Pay Bills is an app available on the phone in TCG Card Shop Simulator. It is used to pay the 3 types of bills incurred while running the shop: rent, electric, and employee salaries.

Failure to pay these bills on time can result in the player's balance going negative, preventing further purchases or restocking.

Types of Bills

Rent

• Calculated based on the size of the shop.
• The base rent starts at $50 and increases with each expansion purchased through RENO BIGG.
• Larger shops with more expansions incur higher rent costs.

Electric

• This bill is determined daily by the shop's light usage.
• Lights continue to consume electricity after 9 PM, even when the in-game clock stops.
• To save on electric costs:
  • Perform restocking and shop changes during the day using natural light.
  • Avoid using lights unnecessarily, although this may hinder visibility at night.
• Fully expanded shops generally see a maximum electric cost increase of around $50 if lights are used judiciously.

Salary

• Based on the daily wages of employees hired through GO Recruit.
• Each staff member has a fixed daily salary cost, which adds to the total bill.
• Salaries are directly tied to the number and type of employees hired.

Tips for Managing Bills

• Use daylight effectively to minimize electric costs.
• Hire only the necessary staff to keep salary expenses manageable.
• Expand the shop cautiously to avoid steep increases in rent.
