Karinderya Guides Hub

Karinderya! is SILOG’s co-op Filipino restaurant simulator on Roblox. You own a karinderya, seat hungry NPCs, cook on stoves that range from Basic to Deluxe, collect pesos, and try to become a five-star owner. Servers cap at six players. The loop is small on purpose: there is no twenty-floor mall to stack. Your problems are local — not enough chairs, a stove that cannot keep plates moving, condiments hitting zero, and customers who leave without paying. This hub is the map of every guide we maintain. Start with getting started if your plot is still empty. Jump to a specialist page if you already know the ticket UI and just need runaways or shop restocks.

Nothing here is a substitute for the client. SILOG still ships bugs (the Roblox description even says to expect them). When a menu label changes after a patch, trust what you see in-game, then come back. We keep facts aligned: online co-op, released August 2026, codes after tutorial, five-star formula not published.

Guide index

• Getting Started — Tutorial furniture, first assignments, when to open codes, and how the lunch rush actually flows. Featured onboarding with a real gameplay video.
• How to Get 5 Stars — What “first five-star owner” means in marketing versus what players can actually measure. No fake formula.
• How to Stop Runaways — The A customer ran away without paying! alert, why there is no confirmed chase button, and how seating plus speed cut walk-offs.
• Stock and Shop — Tables, Chairs, Stoves (Basic / Standard / Deluxe), Paints, Materials, restock timers, and empty condiment shelves.
• Co-op — Six-player roles, visiting other restaurants, and community talk about timed workers near Grocery.
• Progression — Where to spend code cash: table-and-chair pairs versus stove upgrades versus ingredients.
• How to Hire Workers — Timed Grocery hire (~₱300 / ~3 days) as community-observed optional help, not a launch guarantee.
• How to Make Money — Paid plates, live codes, potions, and why a fake 2MVISITS string wastes a shift.

Read them in that order on a new account. On a returning account, skip to the pain point. If chairs exist but plates stall, you want stoves and stock, not another paint can. If plates exist but pesos vanish, you want the runaway page. If friends join and stand around, you want co-op jobs.

Cross-link to codes whenever you finish onboarding. The Codes Hub lists BAKARENEPAIRYAN and 1MVISITS as the late-August 2026 working pair. How to redeem shows the top-right ticket. Expired codes keeps RELEASE and friends out of your Submit box. Codes are not a guide category accident: a Deluxe stove from 1MVISITS changes the progression page’s advice for the next twenty minutes.

The loop every guide assumes

1. Place a table and enough chairs that a group can sit.
2. Assign waiting customers. Do not leave them in a queue decoration.
3. Start or wait on the stove. Higher tiers cook with less babysitting; Deluxe is the shop’s top cooker mentioned in code bundles.
4. Serve the finished plate.
5. Collect payment.
6. Spend on the bottleneck — more seats, more cookers, or a restock — before the next wave.

That six-step circuit is the whole early game. Guides differ only in which step is failing. Five-star advice is about repeating the circuit cleanly, not unlocking a hidden ritual. Runaway advice is about shrinking wait time inside the circuit. Shop advice is about buying the missing piece of the circuit. Co-op advice is about assigning humans to steps so nobody double-serves the same plate. Progression advice is about not buying Paints while step 3 or step 6 is on fire.

Employees are a special case. Early public footage shows no hireable staff. Later community reports talk about a timed worker near Grocery for roughly ₱300 covering about three days. The dedicated hire workers page covers how to look for the prompt and what it does not replace. If you see the hire, use it as extra hands on assign-or-serve; if you do not, the co-op guide still works with six players and zero NPCs on payroll.

How to use this wiki during a session

Keep the Guides Hub open on a second monitor or phone. When the shop restock timer is up, open stock and shop. When the runaway banner hits, open the runaway page instead of searching “karinderya chase button” — there is not a confirmed one. When a friend asks how stars work, send the five-star page so they stop guessing a math formula SILOG never posted.

YouTube on individual guides is capped at one real video per page, placed mid-article. Getting started, runaways, and progression already carry verified IDs. Do not expect a second embed at the footer. If a video and the text disagree after a patch, the text on this wiki should be updated; tell us via the usual Discord rather than treating a two-week-old commentary as patch notes.

For a first hour, the intended path is: tutorial on getting started, redeem on the Codes Hub, buy a missing chair or stove using stock and shop, then survive a rush with how to stop runaways. Stars and long-term spend wait until the restaurant can complete the loop without empty condiment panic. That is the whole Guides Hub: specialist pages on one shared loop, plus an optional hire page, and no filler about combat or tycoon floors Karinderya does not have.
