Supermarket Together is DeadDevsTellNoLies' co-op shop management game, released on 9 August 2024, and it runs up to 16 players inside one store. You order stock, set prices against the market, stack shelves, work the tills and chase shoplifters, with difficulty scaling to how many people are connected. Solo works, but the game is designed around the moment four players realise nobody restocked the dairy fridge.
Boss fights are where Supermarket Together tests everything you've learned. This guide covers strategies for bosses across all areas, organized by progression order. For general combat techniques, see our combat guide.

| Produce Section | Easy | Restocker | Double Fridge |

Produce Section Bosses
Area difficulty: Easy Recommended level: Store level 1 onward Recommended build: Restocker with Double Fridge
Strategy
The first bosses teach core combat mechanics. Focus on learning patterns rather than dealing damage. Levelling the supermarket through checkouts pays out Franchise Points, which you spend on a blackboard of perks. This is your primary tool here.
Key tips:
- Don't rush. Learn the attack patterns first.
- Use Franchise Points board to create safe windows.
- Double Fridge is enough to handle everything here.
Pharmacy Department Bosses
Area difficulty: Moderate Recommended level: Mid game store levels Recommended build: Restocker with Double Fridge
Strategy
Early game bosses test your understanding of Ordering and restocking loop. Players who skipped learning this mechanic will hit a wall here.
Key tips:
- Ordering and restocking loop is critical for these fights.
- Farm Double Fridge upgrades if you're struggling.
- Consider switching to Restocker if your current setup isn't working.
Electronics Department Bosses
Area difficulty: Hard Recommended level: Later store levels Recommended build: Cashier with Product Shelf
Strategy
Mid-game bosses are the major skill check. They combine multiple mechanics and punish players who rely on a single strategy.
Key tips:
- You need both Franchise Points board and Product pricing mastery.
- Product Shelf makes a significant difference. Get it before attempting these.
- See our combat guide for advanced techniques.
Storage Room Bosses
Area difficulty: Very Hard Recommended level: All store levels Recommended build: Cashier with Product Shelf
Strategy
Late-game bosses are serious challenges. Build optimization matters as much as mechanical skill.
Key tips:
- Make sure your build is fully optimized.
- Product Shelf at max upgrade is recommended.
- Study each boss's attack patterns. Most have 2-3 phases.
Checkout Area Bosses
Area difficulty: Extreme Recommended level: All store levels Recommended build: Cashier with Product Shelf
Strategy
Endgame bosses are the ultimate test. They require mastery of all combat systems and an optimized build.
Key tips:
- Top-tier build with best-in-slot gear is mandatory.
- Master every mechanic. See our combat guide.
- These fights reward patience and pattern recognition above all else.
General Boss Tips
- Learn before you fight: Spend your first attempt observing attack patterns. Don't try to win on attempt one.
- Match your build: Some bosses favor certain builds over others. Don't be afraid to switch.
- Upgrade your equipment: A max-upgraded Product Shelf trivializes fights that seem impossible with weaker gear.
- Use Franchise Points board: The core combat mechanic is your best defensive tool in every boss fight.
- Check the walkthrough: Our walkthrough tells you when you're ready for each boss.
