This week I have been trying to get my main meal every day paid for from mystery shopping. I have set up a mystery shop every day in a restaurant, bar or pub. I think that there are great benefits to mystery shopping and to prove it can feed me for a week!
But a lot of people ask me what mystery shopping is all about. Let me talk you through today's mystery shop so you can see what it entails-
First I had to read and print all the job notes and the questionnaire - 10 minutes
I had to plan the visit such as travelling there, parking and how long I'd be there - 5 minutes
Travelling to the venue in a nearby town - 10 minutes
I carried out the mystery shop itself with all the requirements that the company gave me - 30 minutes
For this one I had to buy a meal and a drink, ask a question about the meal - is the coffee you use Free-Trade?
This also had a requirement that is becoming more common, which is to take a photo of the meal before I eat it. I guess they are looking
After the job I had to complete the questionnaire on paper soon after completing the mystery shop - 5 minutes
Then it was on to home to answer the questionnaire online - 10 minutes travel and 20 minutes online
The whole mystery shop from start to finish took around an hour and a half. So you have to weigh this up when thinking about whether mystery shopping will work for you. An hour and a half might be too much out of the day of certain people. It might be a good amount of time to earn a free meal for others.
On to the next meal!
