Schedule I Dealers Guide — Unlock & Manage
Dealers are how you sell at scale in Schedule I — instead of personally delivering to every customer, you hand off chunks of your customer base to dealers who sell for you. Understanding how to unlock, assign, and manage them frees you up to grow your operation. This guide covers all six dealers, the commission system, and the best way to use them.
Schedule I has six dealers, one per district, each unlocked at a higher rank for a one-time hiring fee. Dealers take a 20% commission and autonomously sell to customers you assign them through the Dealer Management app on your phone, each handling up to ten customers. New customers come from referrals, not just rank. The smart play is to assign low-to-medium spenders to dealers and personally serve high-value customers for better prices and XP.
01How Dealers Work
Dealers automate the selling side of your business for a cut:
- Each dealer takes a 20% commission on the sales they make, rather than a daily wage like other employees.
- Each dealer handles up to 10 customers that you assign to them.
- Dealers sell autonomously — once assigned customers and stocked with product, they fulfil orders and split bricks or jars into individual customer quantities.
- You manage them through the Dealer Management app on your phone, assigning which customers each dealer serves.
02The Six Dealers & Their Districts
There is one dealer per district, each unlocked at a higher rank for a one-time hiring fee (names and gates can shift between updates):
- Benji Coleman — Northtown, the earliest dealer to unlock.
- Molly Presley — Westville.
- Brad Crosby — Downtown.
- Jane Lucero — The Docks.
- Wei Long — Suburbia.
- Leo Rivers — Uptown, one of the later dealers to unlock.
As you rank up and expand into new districts, unlocking that district's dealer lets you cover its customers without personally delivering across the whole map.
03How to Unlock & Hire Dealers
Getting a dealer working takes a rank and a fee:
- Reach the required rank for the dealer you want — each unlocks at a higher tier than the last.
- Pay the one-time hiring fee to bring them on.
- Open the Dealer Management app on your phone.
- Assign customers to the dealer — up to ten each.
- Keep them stocked with product so they can fulfil the orders you have handed them.
Remember new customers come largely from referrals — serving existing customers well unlocks more, expanding the pool you can hand to dealers.
04Best Way to Use Dealers
Smart assignment maximises both income and your time:
- Assign low-to-medium spenders to dealers — the 20% commission matters less on smaller orders, and it offloads the busywork.
- Personally serve high-value customers — you keep the full price, can negotiate better deals, and earn more XP from direct sales.
- Match product effects to a dealer's customers where possible, since satisfied customers pay more and refer others.
- Expand dealer coverage as you grow — each new district's dealer lets your reach scale without your time.
- Keep dealers stocked — an unstocked dealer makes no sales, so feed them from your automated production.
FAQ
How do you unlock dealers in Schedule I?
Each of the six dealers unlocks at a higher rank than the last, and you hire them by paying a one-time fee. Once hired, you open the Dealer Management app on your phone and assign customers to them — up to ten each. Keep them stocked with product so they can fulfil orders. Reaching higher ranks and expanding into new districts is what unlocks each district's dealer.
How much commission do dealers take in Schedule I?
Dealers take a 20% commission on the sales they make, rather than a daily wage like botanists or chemists. Because of this, the smart approach is to assign low-to-medium spenders to dealers — where the commission matters less — and personally serve your highest-value customers, since direct sales keep the full price and earn more XP.

There are six dealers, one per district: Benji Coleman in Northtown, Molly Presley in Westville, Brad Crosby in Downtown, Jane Lucero in The Docks, Wei Long in Suburbia, and Leo Rivers in Uptown. Each unlocks at a progressively higher rank, and each can handle up to ten assigned customers, letting you cover districts without delivering personally.
