Karinderya! runs a Filipino restaurant simulator menu: a small set of ulam dishes (adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, menudo, lumpia and similar) plus rice, drinks, and sides. Customers arrive, pick from whatever the current menu offers, pay, and that money funds the equipment and menu upgrades that widen what can be served next. The two starting tickets community trackers record are ₱35 (1 Rice + 1 Condiments) and ₱75 (1 Rice + 1 Egg + 1 Condiments), with new menu groups unlocking at 100, 400, 670, and 1,994 customers served. Exact per-dish price points beyond those two starting tickets are not confirmed.

How the Karinderya! menu works

The Karinderya! menu is the list of dishes and drinks that customers can order from during a shift. The starting menu is intentionally small; new dishes unlock as the karinderya earns money, buys equipment upgrades, and meets the in-game unlock conditions for each new ulam. Customers pick from the current menu, pay the in-game price, and the payment is added to the karinderya's cash balance. The loop repeats every shift, and the cash funds the next round of upgrades that unlocks the next dish.

Dishes that show up in the menu

Community videos and the Roblox community hub for Karinderya! reference Filipino ulam names such as adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, menudo, and lumpia, plus rice as the standard pairing and soft drinks or bottled water as sides. Each dish has its own in-game role: some unlock early and feed the early-game cash flow, others unlock later and pay more per order. The exact dish roster at any given update is set by the SILOG Group; the universe page is the canonical source for the current list.

How the customer-money loop feeds upgrades

Customers arrive in waves. Each wave has a customer demand pattern based on what is currently unlocked: a starting menu brings low-paying but easy customers, a mid-game menu brings higher-paying regulars, and a late-game menu brings the highest-paying customers. Each sale adds to the karinderya cash balance, and the cash balance is what pays for equipment upgrades and additional menu slots. There is no second currency beyond the cash the customers bring in, so the loop is direct: better menu → more customers → more cash → more menu.

Starting-economy snapshot (community-derived)

The karinderyawiki 'How to Make Money' guide and the rouniverse Karinderya guide both publish concrete starting numbers that the universe page does not. They are community trackers, not first-party data; re-check on the day you read this page, especially after a Mini-Update. Starting ticket prices dated 2026-08-24: a 1 Rice + 1 Condiments order pays ₱35, and a 1 Rice + 1 Egg + 1 Condiments order pays ₱75. New menu groups unlock at 100, 400, 670, and 1,994 customers served. Grocery restock costs (wiki ingredients guide) are Vegetables ₱90/kg, Eggs ₱120/dozen, Condiments ₱135, Rice (25 kg) ₱200, Bangus ₱130/kg, and Beef ₱585/kg. Use ticket price minus restock cost as the per-ticket margin estimate; per-dish prices beyond the two starting tickets remain unconfirmed. 2026-09-13 caveat: the Deluxe Stove is no longer free via a code, so the equipment-priority recommendation now assumes cash-funded purchases. Check the active codes roster for which items remain code-redeemable and the upgrades page for the new order.

Menu and upgrades work together

A new dish without the equipment to make it is not sellable; an equipment upgrade without a dish to use it on does not pay for itself. The right progression order is to unlock the equipment tier that matches the next menu dish and then run that dish until the next menu dish unlocks. The upgrades page covers the equipment side in detail; this page focuses on the menu side. Both sides are anchored to the Roblox universe page and the Roblox Games API for Universe 10648820673.

FAQ

What dishes are on the Karinderya! menu?

Community videos reference Filipino ulam such as adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, menudo, and lumpia, plus rice and sides. The exact current dish roster is set by the SILOG Group and is listed on the in-game menu.

Are the per-dish price points and unlock tiers confirmed?

Community trackers record the two starting ticket prices (₱35 for 1 Rice + 1 Condiments and ₱75 for 1 Rice + 1 Egg + 1 Condiments, dated 2026-08-24) and the 100 / 400 / 670 / 1,994 customer-milestone menu-group unlock thresholds.

Should I upgrade the menu or the karinderya first?

Both are needed at the same time. The right order is to buy the equipment tier that unlocks the next menu dish and then run that dish until the next unlock. The upgrades page walks through the order in detail.

What is ulam?

Ulam is the Filipino word for the main savory dish served with rice; it covers stews, stir-fries, grilled dishes, and saucy viands such as adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, menudo, and lumpia.
