How many to hire

The garage is reported at two desks, so two working people. The Small Office is reported at six. Hiring past the desk count does not speed research. The numbers are on the desk limit page.

allthings.how’s early pair is one researcher and one bug fixer. Add people when cash from the money guide covers the new wage. If the balance is already negative, the debt page says to cut back to that pair.

Roblox lists Star Recruiter at 49 Robux: each candidate batch includes a 3-star-or-higher expert plus one monthly reroll. Auto-Hire is listed at 25 Robux and fills empty desks monthly. These are official API descriptions on 24 October 2026, not tested staffing returns. See all 13 game passes.

FAQ

How many staff should I start with?

allthings.how recommends one cheap researcher and one bug fixer in the reported two-desk garage. Six available office slots do not mean six wages are automatically affordable; capacity is not an optimal team-size benchmark.

How much is the wage?

No salary figure in the official text or in both October guides. I am not printing a guessed wage.

Can I hire my friends?

Yes. The official description says friends show up as candidates and work as their avatars.
