Karinderya Materials, Ingredients and Grocery Stock
Buy what the kitchen needs, not what the shop just restocked. Rice, eggs, condiments and the five grocery categories.
Running a karinderya means keeping two separate supply lines going at the same time. One line is furniture and equipment — tables, chairs, stoves, paints — bought from the in-game shop with a restock timer. The other line is ingredients and condiments — rice, eggs, meat, vegetables, and staples — bought from the grocery store inside the restaurant area. This page covers the grocery side: what you can buy, current prices as of September 2026, which items to prioritize, and why building materials from codes are a different supply stream entirely.
This page is part of the Guides Hub. If you are still learning assign-cook-serve-collect, start with getting started first. Grocery management is a mid-phase skill that matters once your restaurant has at least one table and one stove running.
Grocery store layout
The grocery store inside Karinderya organizes stock into five verified categories: LOW, Meats, Frozen, Drinks, and Others. A category rail stays visible while you shop, so you can see all five sections at once. The store stocks physical ingredients — the things NPCs consume when you serve them a plate — not furniture or equipment.
Items can sell out. When a listing is sold out, it shows no buy button until the store’s stock rotates back in. A missing item usually means “come back later” rather than “gone forever.” Community trackers have not documented the exact restock interval for each category; watch the UI and plan grocery runs around your rush windows.

What new players should stock first
- Rice first, always — 25kg for ₱200 is the backbone of every Filipino meal; rice appears in verified customer orders across all menu tiers.
- Cheap proteins and condiments — vegetables at ₱90/kg, a dozen eggs at ₱120, Condiments at ₱135 keep early dishes cookable without freezing your cash.
- Meats when the menu demands them — bangus at ₱130/kg is the cheapest verified meat; beef at ₱585/kg can wait until income is steady.
The spend order mirrors what the shift checklist tells you: fix the bottleneck that is actually killing your rush. Empty rice stops plates just as dead as a missing stove.
Building materials are a separate supply
The grocery store sells ingredients. The shop sells furniture, stoves, and building materials. These two supply lines do not overlap. Confusing them is how new owners stare at an empty rice shelf while their furniture tab is full.
Building materials from codes (Pan, Cement, Wood from the now-expired 3MVISITS reward, or MATERIALSDAW which is also expired) go into the furniture and layout category — they shape your restaurant physically, not your plates mechanically. The stock and shop page covers furniture categories. The decorations page covers tiles and counter upgrades.
Current active codes — DECOPART1, BRGYPERMIT, 100KCCU — grant cash and potions rather than building materials. Spend that cash on whichever supply line is actually empty.
Ingredient management during a rush
During a busy service, ingredient management follows the same logic as furniture restocking: glance before you leave the floor. If the rice shelf is above zero but the condiments light is yellow, buy condiments next. If you are out of bangus and the SILOG MEALS tier is active, you cannot serve fish orders regardless of stove speed.
Community reports confirm that low on condiments and low on eggs are hard stops that appear as in-game warnings. Treat those warnings the same way you treat a missing chair or an empty stove slot — as a purchase blocking the next serve, not as a cosmetic alert.
Menu tiers and ingredient demand
Different menu tiers presumably consume different ingredients at different rates:
- Lugaw (starter) — primarily rice and basic condiments
- SILOG MEALS (unlocks around 100 customers) — eggs, rice, and protein options
- LUTONG BAHAY (unlocks around 670 customers) — wider variety of meats and vegetables
- PASTA SOSYAL (unlocks around 1,994 customers) — noodles, spaghetti and carbonara packs
Higher tiers likely demand more ingredient variety and volume. A restaurant pushing toward five stars on PASTA SOSYAL plates needs a steady supply pipeline, not just a full rice bag. See Filipino dishes for the confirmed menu tier structure.
Grocery versus shop restock priority
Both the grocery store and the furniture shop have restock timers. When both have items you need:
- Serve first — finish current plates so you are not buying while guests are waiting.
- Check timers — whichever category restocks soonest gets deferred if the current stock is not at zero.
- Buy the bottleneck — if you are out of rice, rice wins over a discounted tile design.
The tips and mistakes page describes shopping mid-cook as a common beginner trap. The same logic applies to grocery browsing: know what you need before you open the panel, and do not wander into the Drinks tab while the Meat shelf is empty.
Quick-reference grocery checklist
Before a rush, verify:
- 25kg Rice above zero
- Condiments above the warning line
- Eggs or Dozen Egg in stock
- Any meat category relevant to current menu tier available
- No in-game warning lights active
If any item is missing or empty, buy before you assign the next wave. An empty ingredient shelf is the fastest way to turn a seated guest into a runaway.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for Karinderya players.
Where do I buy ingredients in Karinderya?
The grocery store inside the restaurant area has five categories: LOW, Meats, Frozen, Drinks, and Others. It is separate from the furniture shop.
What is the cheapest ingredient to start with?
Rice at ₱200 for 25kg is the kitchen foundation. Vegetables at ₱90/kg and Condiments at ₱135 are the next priorities.
Can ingredients run out during a rush?
Yes. Condiments and eggs are common hard stops. Low stock warnings appear in-game; treat them as purchase blockers, not suggestions.
What happened to the building materials codes?
3MVISITS and MATERIALSDAW are expired. Current codes DECOPART1, BRGYPERMIT, and 100KCCU grant cash and potions instead.
Do higher menu tiers need different ingredients?
Likely yes. SILOG MEALS uses proteins; LUTONG BAHAY adds vegetables; PASTA SOSYAL requires noodles and pasta packs. Keep variety in stock as tiers unlock.
Should I check grocery or furniture shop first?
Check whichever supply is actually at zero or about to block a serve. Both have restock timers. Never browse mid-rush.
