Quick answer: If your Scary Shawarma Kiosk badge has not appeared, joining a fresh server is a useful troubleshooting test—but it is not a confirmed universal fix. Roblox has not published a specific incident notice saying The Hollow badge system is broken. The strongest first check is whether you completed the exact requirement, finished the Full Shift, and allowed the game to register the result before leaving. Then compare the badge page in the same account after a normal rejoin.
As of October 29, 2026, current walkthroughs for The Hollow’s Scary Shawarma Kiosk partner quest say players must start a Story Mode Full Shift, serve seven Hollow Entities successfully, and finish the shift. The in-game Hollow badge and the separate Mushroom Infestation hub reward are different steps: after earning the badge, players must return to The Hollow and claim the UGC item at the pedestal near the Scary Shawarma Kiosk portal. See the current walkthrough. Roblox’s official event announcement confirms The Hollow’s event and reward window, but does not document a badge-sync outage or a fresh-server fix. Read the official Roblox announcement.
Fresh server vs. old server: what the comparison can tell you
There is no independently verified, controlled public test establishing that fresh servers award the badge while older servers fail. So do not treat “fresh server fixed it for me” as proof of a confirmed server-side bug. A new server can still be a sensible troubleshooting step because it starts a new game session; it cannot retroactively prove that a missing badge was caused by an old server.
| Check | What it can tell you | What it cannot prove |
|---|---|---|
| Old server, same account | Whether the badge appears after the original session finishes and you wait briefly. | That the server is definitely broken if it does not appear immediately. |
| Fresh server, same account | Whether the result becomes visible after a clean rejoin and another normal refresh. | That all older servers are faulty or that Roblox has confirmed an incident. |
| Roblox badge page | Whether the badge is recorded on the account. | Whether a separate UGC reward has also been claimed in The Hollow hub. |
| Hollow hub pedestal | Whether the separate event item is ready to claim. | Whether the partner-game badge was earned if the shift requirement was not met. |
Before blaming the server, verify the exact badge requirement
The current partner-quest guides describe a specific sequence. Start from The Hollow portal, enter Scary Shawarma Kiosk, select Story Mode, choose Full Shift, serve seven Hollow Entities successfully, and finish the shift. If you played a shorter shift, left early, or missed an order, your run may not satisfy the reported requirement.
- Confirm the shift type. Check that you selected Full Shift rather than a shorter option.
- Count successful Hollow Entity orders. Keep track of the seven required serves and avoid assuming a regular customer counts toward the event objective.
- Finish the shift. Do not leave as soon as the seventh entity is served if the guide says the full shift must also end.
- Wait for the result screen. Let the game finish saving before returning to the hub or closing Roblox.
- Check the badge separately. Open the badge page on the same Roblox account you used for the run.
Safe troubleshooting order
Step 1: Check the account and badge page
Make sure you are looking at the same account that completed the shift. Search the relevant badge page or profile badges after the round has ended. A delayed page refresh is different from a confirmed failure to award the badge.
Step 2: Rejoin normally
Leave through the game’s normal menu and rejoin through the official Roblox experience page. Check again after the session loads. If the badge still does not appear, a fresh server is a reasonable next test—not a guaranteed fix.
Step 3: Repeat only if the requirement is unclear
Before spending another 20-minute Full Shift, review whether the first run truly included seven successful Hollow Entity orders and a completed shift. If you are confident it did, capture the result screen, approximate completion time, and badge page state before trying again. Those details make a support report more useful than “badge bug.”
Badge earned, but Mushroom Infestation missing?
This can be a reward-route mix-up rather than a badge bug. The partner-game badge is awarded in Scary Shawarma Kiosk after the reported Full Shift requirement. The Mushroom Infestation avatar item is claimed separately after returning to The Hollow hub and interacting with the pedestal beside the Scary Shawarma Kiosk portal. Check the hub claim point even if the badge is already visible.
Roblox says The Hollow rewards can be collected until November 2, 2026, at noon Pacific time. That is the event’s published claim deadline, not a promise that every individual badge issue will resolve automatically before then. Official event details.
When to report a possible server-side issue
If the requirement was met and the badge remains missing after a normal rejoin, collect a concise evidence set: your Roblox username (share it only through official support channels), the approximate time and date, the experience you played, proof that Full Shift ended, and a screenshot of the badge page. Do not publish private account details in public comments.
Never use a “badge fixer,” browser extension, unofficial launcher, or website asking for your password or session cookie. There is no need to give a third-party site account access to troubleshoot an event badge. A fresh-server comparison is useful only when you record what changed; it is not a reason to risk your account.

FAQ
Does joining a fresh server fix the Scary Shawarma Kiosk badge?
It is a reasonable troubleshooting test, but there is no official confirmation that a fresh server is a universal fix. First verify the shift requirement and let the result screen finish.
What are the reported requirements for The Hollow partner badge?
Current third-party walkthroughs say to complete a Story Mode Full Shift and successfully serve seven Hollow Entities. Roblox has not published those detailed steps in its general event announcement.
Why is Mushroom Infestation missing when my badge is there?
The item is a separate hub claim. Return to The Hollow and check the pedestal beside the Scary Shawarma Kiosk portal after earning the partner-game badge.
Does a missing badge prove the server is broken?
No. It could be a requirement mismatch, a delayed update, a page refresh issue, or a technical problem. One player's experience does not establish a platform-wide server-side bug.
When does The Hollow reward window end?
Roblox says players can continue collecting event rewards until noon Pacific time on November 2, 2026. Check the official hub for current availability.
Verification note: This article does not claim a hands-on, controlled fresh-server-versus-old-server test. The “results” are the evidence-based troubleshooting conclusion: no official server-side incident or guaranteed fresh-server fix was found in the sources checked. Quest requirements are attributed to current third-party walkthroughs, while event dates are attributed to Roblox.
