What will I do as a Mystery Shopper?

If hired as a Mystery Shopper, you will begin to receive your assignments. The assignment will tell you what to look for, what questions to ask, and what to buy.  You will be reimbursed for what you buy.  At restaurants, you will rate the food, the service, the atmosphere, even the silverware, plus you get a FREE MEAL! At stores you will rate the customer service, the merchandise, the layout and the atmosphere, even the parking lots.   

After you shop and observe the store and its service, you fill out some paperwork to report to the company about your experience. The paperwork will ask you questions such as: "Were you greeted promptly?" "Was the rest room clean?" "Did the cashier thank you by name if you used a credit card?" The company wants to know how well their stores and restaurants are presenting themselves and if they are up to the standards they expect. 

You will get reimbursed for any money spent and you often get to keep what you buy on top of an hourly or per job payment! Remember, you are posing as a real customer.  Stores and restaurants don't know you are inspecting them- hence the name Mystery or Secret Shopper. Mystery shoppers can earn a good living when working with multiple companies.  Click here to read about a mystery shopper that earned over $7,000 in one month.
