FAQs

What are lockers used for in Tavern Keeper?

Lockers in this game are used by your employees to change into their uniforms. They will use the lockers in the staffroom before their shift starts.

Why are my employees not using lockers?

You need to specify their roles and shift timings in order to get your employees to use lockers. If you do not specify either of these things, they will just hang around in the staffroom, without changing into their respective uniforms. Read our guide about setting worker schedules to know how you can assign them shifts and roles.

Can I play Tavern Keeper without installing lockers?

No. Lockers, along with the Beds, are the two most important facilities you absolutely MUST provide your staff. Even when you don’t have a Staffroom, you will need to have Beds and Lockers for your employees.

How many lockers should I install?

This depends entirely on the number of staff that you have. It’s a good rule of thumb to have one locker per four employees. If you provide less number of lockers, your employees might start their shifts late, struggling to find a space to change into uniforms.
