Direct Answer

Headquarters is a special office for back-office work rather than a customer-facing store. The documented source connects it with Computer Workstations and roles such as Purchasing Agent, Logistics Manager, HR Manager, Headhunter and Cleaning.

Confirmed facts for this question

  • The page references define headquarters as a special office business with no customers, used to seat operational staff for a wider organization.
  • Purchasing Agent, Logistics Manager, HR Manager and Headhunter use Computer Workstations; cleaning staff is the stated exception to the workstation rule.

Build the HQ around back-office work

The page references define Headquarters as a special office business with no customers. Its purpose is to seat operational staff for a wider organization: Purchasing Agent, Logistics Manager, HR Manager and Headhunter use Computer Workstations, while cleaning is the stated exception.

That distinction changes the opening plan. An HQ is not another retail room that earns money from foot traffic; it is infrastructure that supports purchasing, distribution and staffing elsewhere. The cited City Workforce location at 2 1st Avenue is a recruitment reference, while the current game screen remains the final check for the exact role list and effects.

  • Open an HQ when the back-office work is real, not just because it looks advanced.
  • Budget the building, workstations, staff and recurring costs together.
  • Keep retail service stations separate from HQ computers.
  • Verify Headhunter availability because the documented role lists differ.

Practical Setup

Match the employee to the operation

Employee pages are most useful when role, station, skill, schedule and cost are considered together. A role list alone does not tell a player when hiring it is justified.

  1. Name the work that is actually blocked: cleaning, checkout, purchasing, logistics, HR, delivery or specialist production.
  2. Check the business or headquarters station required by the role before recruiting.
  3. Choose the recruitment route and candidate skill described by the documented details.
  4. Assign the employee to the correct station, vehicle, computer or schedule.
  5. Watch the operation for a complete cycle and compare service, stock, route or satisfaction results.
  6. Add another employee only when the observed bottleneck and recurring wage justify it.

Checks before you commit

  • Does the role have a real station or vehicle?
  • Is the required agency or headquarters location confirmed?
  • Are hours and demands compatible with the business schedule?
  • Is the extra skill worth the extra wage in this player state?

Limits and Version Notes

The evidence is inconsistent about the Headhunter role and does not establish a universal HQ size, cost or profit effect. Build only the office capacity your current network can support.

What not to assume

  • Hiring high skill without a documented workload for it.
  • Treating an employee list as a guarantee of every current unlock.
  • Ignoring station access, shift limits or employee demands.
