Level Up Your Social Stats by Working Part-Time at the Beef Bowl Shop in Persona 5

In Persona 5, balancing high school life with your secret Phantom Thieves activities can be tricky. One great way to boost your social stats like Proficiency is by working part-time at the beef bowl shop on Shibuya Central Street. This unlocks exclusive events and confidants too!

The beef bowl shop is located in the underground walkway of Shibuya Station named “Ore no Beko” in Persona 5. It’s available to work at starting 5/6 once you have at least Proficiency Lv. 2. Shifts are in the evenings after school.

Here’s an overview of working part-time at the beef bowl shop:

Requirements

• Available starting 5/6
• Need Proficiency Lv. 2
• Free time at night after school

Shifts

• Evenings only after school
• Talk to manager to start shift
• Random chance of special customer challenge

Wages

• 3,600 yen base pay
• Up to 8,800 yen on special challenge days

Bonuses

Special Challenge Days

• Random days with customer order quiz

• On 5/9, 6/2, etc. get 8,800 yen for all correct

Working at the beef bowl shop is a great way to boost Proficiency efficiently early in Persona 5. The +2 gain per shift adds up quickly. And special challenge days can boost Proficiency even more if you ace the customer order quiz.

The main benefit is unlocking the Sun confidant with politician Toranosuke Yoshida. His speeches boost the Protagonist’s social stats, so he’s extremely useful early in the game.

The beef bowl shop also provides a steady income. While the 3600 base pay seems low, it quickly adds up. And remembering all customer orders correctly on the special challenge days nets a cool 8800 yen!

Of course, choose night jobs based on which social stat boost you need most. The convenience store boosts Kindness, the burger shop boosts Charm, and so on. But for Proficiency, the beef bowl shop can’t be beat

Be sure to work on the special challenge days marked 5/9, 6/2, etc. Their memorable dates indicate max pay days if you get all customer orders correct. Acesing the challenges takes concentration, but the big payoff is worth it.

For efficient time management, balance the beef bowl job with Confidants who are available at night. You’ll need to plan ahead and make the most of each evening to boost social stats and unlock perks.

While it may seem boring, working part-time is extremely rewarding in Persona 5. The beef bowl shop in particular offers great Proficiency gains. And few part-time jobs unlock a Confidant as useful as the Sun! Make sure to spend some evenings slinging beef bowls in Shibuya to power up the Protagonist quickly.
