Handlers in Schedule 1: How to hire and use them

In Schedule 1, to run a successful operation means to automate the tasks to maximize efficiency. The Handlers are the key employees responsible for managing packaging, keeping the production flowing, and transporting goods. However, hiring handlers and using them correctly requires a proper strategy. Here is how to get the most out of the Handlers.



How to hire Handlers in Schedule 1?



Before the Handler can start working, you will be required to visit the Warehouse. It is located south of the Motel, near the Pawn Shop. It is only open between 6 PM to 6 AM. When inside, head to the northeast corner, take the blue stairs, and then speak to Manny. He is the guy behind the desk.


To hire the Handler will cost you an upfront amount of $1,500, plus the daily wage of $200. If you do not have cash, use the ATM inside the Warehouse. After getting hired, Handler will head to the chosen property.


Before the Handler starts working, assign them the bed using the Management Clipboard . Open it and interact with the Handler. Select Bed and then click on the available one. The blue highlight will confirm the assignment, and the briefcase will appear. In it, the daily wage is deposited to keep the Handler active.



Assigning tasks and routes to the Handler





The Schedule 1 Handlers excel at moving items between stations. But they need to have clear instructions. Use Management Clipboard to assign them to the Packaging Stations. The Handler can handle up to 3 tasks at once. All the eligible stations will have the white outline when they are selected.


To automate, set up the routes. These will tell the Handler where to pick up and drop off the items. Then, open Handler’s menu and click on Add New under the Routes options. There, define,

• From: The source, like the storage shelf with the buds.
  
• To: The destination, like a Packaging Station.
  

For example, if the botanist delivers the buds to the shelf, create the route from the shelf to the packaging station. It will ensure a smooth workflow without any manual intervention.



Advanced strategies to manage Handler

Schedule 1 Handlers can do much more than basic packaging. In complex setups like the chemistry labs, they can refill the stations with some ingredients. But the stations must already have 1 of each item, at least. Otherwise, the Handlers might get overfilled with a single product.


Another tip is to use multiple Schedule 1 Handlers for varied roles. While one can manage the ingredient supply, the other handles packaging and storage transfers. If the Handler will stop working, check the bed for unpaid wages or confirm that the routes are set correctly.


By mastering the Handler assignments, you can fully automate production. It will let you focus on business expansion. So, experiment with varied setups and find what works best for the operation.
