Sobre la simulación
A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation on running a student-run school store for a semester, for Career and Technical Education in marketing, retail merchandising, entrepreneurship and accounting, DECA and FBLA school-based enterprises and introductory retail management.
The fictional Cedar Ridge High School DECA chapter in Lawrenceville, Georgia, runs The Talon Shop, a school store selling snacks, drinks and spirit wear, through the spring semester 2027 (11 January to 7 May) in four four-week periods.
Round by round you set the price list and the spring spirit-wear buy, the snack assortment and the cash routine, the answer to an inventory count that shows shrink and the spring reorder, and the last four weeks and the end-of-semester report.
Each period is scored on profit, gross margin, shrink and cash losses, students served a day and a controls-and-trust index; selling snacks that do not meet the federal Smart Snacks standards during the school day, or making the cash count sheet match the register, caps the score. English with Spanish.
