Gakuran: How to Get a Job and Earn Yen in Roblox

Open the Indeed app, apply for a shift, clock in at the marked location, and get paid in Yen.

Open the Indeed app, apply for a shift, clock in at the marked location, and get paid in Yen.

Money in Gakuran runs on Yen, the in-world currency you earn by taking shifts through the in-game phone. Work is handled entirely through the Indeed app, and payment moves between players through the Yenapp. Yen is completely separate from Robux, so nothing you earn on a shift touches your real-money balance.

Quick answer: Press Alt on PC to open your flip phone, tap Indeed in the bottom-left, apply for an open job, travel to that location at the listed time, clock in at the lockers, and stay until the shift ends to receive your Yen.

Yen vs Robux: what each currency buys

Before you start working, it helps to know exactly what your pay can and cannot cover. Yen is the money you earn and trade in-game. Robux is Roblox’s real-money currency and is only used for a few cosmetic systems.

Yen (in-game)Robux (real money)
Earned by working Indeed jobsBought with real money on Roblox
Sent and received through the YenappSpent on style rerolls (5 Robux each)
Spent on food, drinks, vending machines, and RP itemsSpent on clothes and avatar cosmetics
Cannot buy style rerollsFree code rerolls can replace many purchases

Because Yen cannot pay for style rerolls, keep free reroll codes handy so you do not burn Robux you do not need to spend.

How to get a job through the Indeed app

The Indeed app is the only way to sign on for paid work. It behaves like a job board, so you browse listings, pick one, and commit to a shift with a set time and payout.

Open your phone. On PC, press Alt to pull out the flip phone. On mobile, use the on-screen phone button.
Find and tap the Indeed icon. It sits in the bottom-left area of the phone’s app grid, alongside options like Messages, Contacts, and Music.
Scroll the list of open positions and pick one that fits your schedule. Each listing shows its location, shift window, duration, pay, and how many spots are still open. A 7-Eleven Mart shift, for example, may run 5:00PM to 7:49PM for ¥800 with 2 of 2 spots free.
Press Apply at the bottom of the shift details screen to lock in the job.
Travel to the workplace shown on the map and arrive at the marked time. Head to the backroom with the lockers and interact with them to clock in. Your outfit swaps to the workplace uniform, which confirms your shift has started.
Take your position, such as behind the register, and stay on-site until the shift timer ends. Yen is paid out when the shift completes.

Job locations and what each role involves

Different workplaces pay different wages and run on different hours. Entry-level roles offer steady pay, while night and specialty spots can bring more social traffic and better tips. Check Indeed often, since open spots change.

WorkplaceRole and details
7-Eleven Gas StationConvenience store clerk. Stock shelves, work the register, help customers. Entry-level with steady pay, located at the 7-Eleven on the town map.
Kobayashi RamenRamen shop assistant. Serve customers and work the kitchen. A popular RP-friendly role with lots of social interaction.
Nishikata Coffee ShopBarista. Prepare and serve coffee near the school. Morning shifts run busier.
Club AkumaNightclub staff. Evening-only shifts at the underground club with higher foot traffic and potentially better tips.

Sending and receiving Yen with the Yenapp

Once you have Yen, the Yenapp handles player-to-player transfers instantly, similar to a mobile payment service. Each player picks a unique Yen Tag that works as a payment ID, and you can check your current balance from the app at any time.

Open your phone with Alt and select the Yen app.
Search for the recipient’s Yen Tag, or pick them from your saved contacts.
Enter the amount you want to send and confirm the payment. To receive money, share your own Yen Tag so others can send to it.

Note: transfers are final. There are no chargebacks, so only send Yen to players you trust.

Why a shift might not pay out

If you finish a shift and see no Yen, a few specific conditions usually explain it. Rule these out before assuming something is broken.

  • You are on a private or VIP server. Job payouts may not process there, so test work on a public server first.
  • You are still in combat stance. Exit it by pressing T before opening phone apps, or the job functions will not work.
  • You left the workplace before the shift timer ended, so the payout never triggered.

Save your first few paychecks for useful in-world items rather than spending everything on cosmetics right away. Steady shifts at reliable locations like the 7-Eleven build a stable balance, and once your Yen Tag is set up you can move that money freely between trusted players.
