Water Park Simulator Staff Guide | How To Hire And Manage Employees
Managing a growing park gets overwhelming fast, which makes staff one of the most important upgrades in Water Park Simulator. Players often wonder how to unlock staff, which roles come first, and the best order to hire employees without wasting money.
The answer is that staff unlock through the research table in stages, starting with cashiers, then expanding to vendors, janitors, and handymen as your park levels up.
How To Unlock Staff
Staff hiring is tied to research upgrades. At the research table you can buy Hiring Level 1 to unlock cashiers, then Hiring Level 2 to unlock vendors and janitors. Later upgrades increase staff slots and give access to specialized workers like handymen.
| Staff Type | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|
| Cashier | Research Table, Hiring Level 1 |
| Vendor | Research Table, Hiring Level 2 |
| Janitor | Research Table, Hiring Level 2 |
| Handyman | Research upgrade at higher park level |
Other types of staff also exist, like the Lifeguard, which we’ll update here soon.
Best Staff To Hire First
Cashiers should always be hired first. They manage ticket sales and free your time to run the park.
Next focus on janitors. They clean trash, puddles, and other messes, which keeps guests happy and stops star ratings from dropping.
Vendors are useful once your park capacity is past 20. They keep lines moving and boost food and drink sales.
Handymen are late game hires. They fix chairs, filters, and broken pools faster than you can.
Staff Efficiency And Cost
Each staff member has a daily cost and efficiency rating. High efficiency at low cost is best, but efficiency always matters more than price.
| Example Staff | Daily Cost | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|
| Kais (Cashier) | $100 | 100% |
| Benjamin (Janitor) | $150 | 70% |
Staff Roadmap Progression
Hiring staff works best when planned around park growth. Follow this order for smooth progression.
Early Game (Day 1–10)
Hire a cashier as soon as Hiring Level 1 is researched. This makes ticket handling automatic. Focus on upgrading chairs and pools to raise capacity.
Mid Game (Day 10–20)
Unlock Hiring Level 2. Bring in a janitor first to manage trash and puddles. Add a vendor once long lines at stalls start slowing you down.
Late Game (Day 20+)
Research more Hiring Levels to expand staff slots. Hire a handyman to cover repairs so you can focus on expansion. Use extra vendors to run food stalls as traffic increases.
Final Blurb
Staff are the backbone of a successful water park. Cashiers keep guests flowing in, janitors hold back the mess, vendors keep money rolling, and handymen stop breakdowns. The faster you invest in them, the faster your park grows without chaos.
FAQ
How do you unlock more staff slots?
Upgrade Hiring Level at the research table to increase the maximum number of employees.
Which staff role saves the most time?
Cashiers save the most time because they handle every guest at the gate.
Do janitors work when the park is closed?
No, janitors only clean during open hours, so manual cleanup may still be needed after closing.

Yes, each staff member has unique cost and efficiency stats. Always pick the most efficient one.
