Karinderya Controls and Prompts

Karinderya! is a proximity-prompt restaurant. Most of your skill is standing in the right place and accepting the right prompt before a guest walks off. This page names the prompts players actually see, how they fit the loop, and what changes between a phone and a PC. It is not a full Roblox keybind dump—movement is still WASD or thumbstick, jump is still jump, camera is still camera. The restaurant-specific verbs are what wipe new owners.

Finish the tutorial first. The onboarding already makes you place furniture, assign seats, and serve a couple of customers. After that, the ticket control in the top-right corner unlocks codes. If you cannot open codes, you probably have not completed those tutorial steps. Everything below assumes you are past that gate.

Place Table and Chairs

Place Table and Chairs is the build prompt. When you own furniture and are looking at a legal floor tile, Roblox offers this action so you can drop a table and its chairs as a set. Use it to create capacity. Do not use it as a fidget. Every extra chair is a ticket the kitchen must honor, which is why the furniture rankings tell you to stop placing when seated guests start waiting.

Practical notes:

• Face the floor, not the wall. If the prompt is missing, you are too far, the tile is blocked, or you have nothing left to place.
• Leave walking lanes to the stove. A perfect grid that traps plate carriers is a bad place.
• Pair tables with chairs. A lone table is a prop. A lone chair is a trap.
• In co-op, one player should own placing during a rush so six people are not overlapping holograms.

If the sidewalk is full and you still have empty chairs, you do not need this prompt. You need Assign Customer to Table.

Assign Customer to Table

Assign Customer to Table is the host prompt. Guests who are in the restaurant but not legally seated will not complete the paying loop. Stand near the customer (or the host stand, depending on how SILOG spawned them), look at them, and assign. This is the most missed action in public servers. A dining room that “looks busy” with people standing around is often an assignment failure, not a furniture failure.

Practical notes:

• Door host is a real role in a six-player lobby. Park someone here.
• If you can reject a guest, do it when the kitchen is already in seated-wait or empty-plate failure. Feeding a new ticket into a broken shift creates runaways.
• Assignment into a chair the stove cannot feed is still a mistake. The shift checklist would call that seated waiting two minutes later.

Learn this prompt until it is muscle memory. Stove tiers cannot save a lobby that never seats.

Ticket icon (codes)

After the tutorial, a ticket control appears toward the top-right of the screen. That is the codes button. Open it, paste a working string, submit. One code at a time. Exact spelling. This is how visit-milestone gifts (1M, and later 2M / 3M when live) and joke codes enter your cash, stove, and Parsons furniture inventory.

If the ticket is missing, finish serving the tutorial customers. If a code fails, it is expired, mistyped, or you already redeemed it—not a controls bug. Keep the codes list nearby. Scripts can auto-redeem; the official path is still this icon, and you should know it even if you read Nyxen Hub.

Shop, restock, and buying

The shop is where you buy stoves (Basic, Standard, Deluxe), tables, chairs, ingredients, and related supplies. It is also where restock timers live. You will run out of condiments and food inputs in a real rush. Opening the shop is a control, not a menu you visit once at spawn.

Practical notes:

• Assign a shopper in co-op. Empty plates are a stock tell, not a mystery.
• Buy Standard or Deluxe when seated waits dominate; buy furniture when the sidewalk dominates. The stove rankings assume you can actually open this menu under pressure.
• Do not shop while you are the only person who can assign at the door unless the shop is the current bottleneck.

On mobile, the shop UI is the slow part. A PC teammate should own it if your party is mixed.

Serve and carry plates

Stoves auto-cook. Your job is to pick up cooked plates and carry them to the assigned table, then keep the loop going. There is no hidden rhythm game. There is walking, camera work, and not dropping the chain when a runaway appears.

Practical notes:

• Stand near the stove at peak. Auto-cook does not teleport food to the guest.
• Short stove-to-table paths beat fancy layouts. Place Deluxe where the walk is boring and short.
• One dedicated runner in a six-stack is worth more than three people crowding the cook.
• If plates do not exist, that is the shop, not a missing “cook” button.

Trash and dirty tables show up as extra world interactions. Clear them so the next assign has a clean seat. It is not as famous as Place Table and Chairs, but it is part of keeping capacity real.

Runaways and world interactions

When a guest leaves without paying, you can chase. Some players whack or collide to interrupt the theft. Treat chase as an optional prompt family: useful, slapstick, easy to overcommit. One chaser. Everyone else keeps serving. If your entire lobby sprints across the map, you manufactured the next seated-wait.

Visiting other restaurants is possible and educational. Do not copy their chair count unless you copy their stove and crew size too.

Mobile versus PC

PC (keyboard and mouse): easier camera for plate routes, easier shop clicking, easier ticket paste from a codes tab. WASD to the prompt, mouse to look, click or proximity key to confirm. This is the comfortable host and shopper client.

Mobile: on-screen thumbstick plus tap-to-prompt. Perfectly able to cook and carry, slower at shop and at picking the right guest in a crowd. Keep seating smaller. Use auto-sprint if you enabled it in Roblox settings. Paste codes from the Roblox app clipboard if typing on a phone keyboard fights you.

Tablet / controller: treat like mobile for precision, like PC if a mouse is attached. The prompts are the same names; only targeting changes.

Roblox shift-lock and camera sensitivity are personal. If you cannot hit Assign Customer to Table, it is usually position, not a missing keybind SILOG hid. Stand closer. Look at the guest. Wait for the billboard prompt.

A practice circuit

1. Place one table-and-chair set.
2. Assign the first guest.
3. Wait for auto-cook, carry the plate.
4. Open the shop once so you know the restock UI.
5. Open the ticket icon and redeem codes.
6. Only then add more furniture or a stove upgrade.

That circuit is the whole control set. The Players Hub points here for a reason: most “the game is broken” reports in launch month are a missed prompt. If the prompt exists and still fails, then go to Discord via the Links Hub and treat it as a bug. If you want the vibe check after you can operate the restaurant, read the review.
