This topic is in need of research for the following reason: * List possible orders (9 in total?) This can be discussed on the article's talk page. |
"Oh right, I didn't explain things to you last time. We'll occasionally get orders for bouquets, in which case I'd like you to pick out the flowers. I'll vary your pay based on how pleased the customers are with what you chose... Oh, and if you get stuck, I suggest you study up with Flowerpedia. You can do it!"

At least 3,600 yen can be earned per shift. In addition, working here boosts Proficiency.
Sometimes, the protagonist has to listen to and memorize the orders the customers make: if he gets them right, his pay will be boosted. After all orders are given, the log feature will be locked, so the feature cannot be exploited while preparing the orders, but all orders can be reviewed through the log before that.
The possible orders are differed by size and type: they can be medium or large, as well as either curry, natto, beef, barbeque and hui guo rou. The meals will also have to be memorized in the order they were given.
Working here twice is necessary to unlocking Toranosuke Yoshida's Confidant.

Trivia[]

While the work is still unpaid, the protagonist gains a great increase to their Academics stat afterwards.
- At the start of Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden, the gas station attendant at MOEL informs the protagonist that they're looking for part time help, although the protagonist never gets the option to work there.
