Karinderya Guides Hub

Every walkthrough on this wiki: first hour, star chase, shop timers, Filipino dishes and six-player shifts.

Last updated:

Karinderya! is SILOG’s Filipino coop restaurant sim on Roblox. You run a karinderya, seat hungry NPCs, cook on Basic-to-Deluxe stoves, collect pesos and try to become a five-star owner. Servers hold up to six players. The loop is small on purpose — no twenty-floor tycoon. Your problems are local: not enough chairs, a stove that cannot keep up, condiments at zero and customers who leave without paying. This hub is the map of every guide. Start with Getting Started if your plot is empty. Jump to a specialist page if you already know the ticket UI and just need runaways or restock advice.

Nothing here replaces the client. SILOG is still shipping bugs. When a label changes after a patch, trust what you see in-game, then come back. We keep facts aligned: online coop, launched August 2026, codes after tutorial, five-star formula not published.

Guide index

  • Getting Started — Tutorial furniture, first assignments, when to redeem codes and how lunch rush really runs.
  • How to Get 5 Stars — What “first five-star owner” means in marketing versus what players can actually measure. No made-up formula.
  • How to Stop Runaways — The alert, why there is no HUD button to hold them, and how assignment plus speed cuts 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 discussion about timed workers near Grocery.
  • Progression — Where to spend code cash: table-chair pairs versus stove upgrade versus ingredients.
  • How to Hire Workers — Timed Grocery hire observed in community as optional help, not a launch guarantee.
  • How to Make Money — Paid plates, live codes (DECOPART1, BRGYPERMIT, 100KCCU), potions and why guessing a new visit-milestone code wastes a shift.
  • Restaurant Layout — Full table-chair sets, short paths to stoves and aisles so code furniture actually works.
  • Menu and Orders — Assign, auto-cook, serve and customize without a made-up recipe spreadsheet.
  • Tips and Mistakes — Extra chairs without heat, shopping mid-cook, closing time and pan-chase backup.
  • How to Get the Deluxe Stove — Code redemption versus shop ladder, then placement so Deluxe actually cooks.
  • Filipino Dishes — Lugaw, SILOG MEALS, LUTONG BAHAY, PASTA SOSYAL: community-observed menu tiers and unlocks at 100, 670 and 1,994 customers.
  • How to Get the Dishwasher — Decorations Pt. 1 appliance: where to buy, how to place and what the community confirms versus what SILOG has not documented.

Read them in this order on a fresh account. On a returning account, jump to the pain point. If chairs exist but plates stagnate, you want stoves and stock, not another paint pot. If plates exist but pesos disappear, you want the runaway page. If friends join and stand around, you want coop jobs.

Link to codes when you finish onboarding. The Codes Hub lists DECOPART1, BRGYPERMIT and 100KCCU as the active set September 2026.

The loop every guide assumes

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

This six-step circuit is the entire early game. Guides only differ by which step fails. Five-star advice means repeating the circuit cleanly, not unlocking a hidden ritual. Runaway advice means reducing wait time in the circuit. Shop advice means buying the missing piece of the circuit. Coop advice means assigning humans to steps so no one serves the same plate twice. Progression advice means not buying Paints until step 3 or 6 is burning.

Employees are a special case. Early public footage shows no hireable staff. Later community reports talk about a timed worker near Grocery. The dedicated page covers how to find the prompt and what it does not replace.

How to use this wiki during a session

Keep the Guides Hub open on a second monitor or phone. When the shop restock timer expires, open Stock and Shop. When the runaway banner appears, open the runaway page instead of searching for a chase button that is not confirmed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for Karinderya players.

Which Karinderya guide should I read first?

Start with Getting Started, redeem codes, then Stock and Shop. Open How to Stop Runaways as soon as you see the walk-off-without-payment alert.

Is there an official five-star formula?

No. SILOG markets the goal but has not published exact math. The five-star guide stays on what players can observe.

Do these guides cover codes?

Codes have their own hub. Guides link to it after the tutorial. Active keys September 2026 are DECOPART1, BRGYPERMIT and 100KCCU.

Can I play solo?

Yes. Coop is optional online multiplayer up to six. Solo still uses the same table-stove-serve-collect loop.

Are workers confirmed?

Not as hard fact at launch. Community reports of Grocery hire are on the hire page — treat as observed, not guaranteed.
