Sorry for any confusion caused with the wording-the photo is of one dish only and can be taken with a camera phone very quickly when no staff are around-we have been doing this for months and so far no shopper has had any problem with it-

Just out of curiosity (and I'm not even registered with BB!) why does the client want this?

I'm guessing it's due to presentation but usually even RE lets the shopper decide if it looks okay!

Yes-presentation of certain meals to make sure they are of the right portion and come as they should. Most shoppers take a quick snap with their phone and that is it and text it later to the uk mobile number provided. The chain want to ensure that all their outlets serve the same meals to the same quality as they are instructed by their HQ.

Any one with any more questions please ask away.

Just picked up a nice animal related shop on RE loads around the NW, and at least these have a fee!

Another company usually do these shops, but they pay a higher fee plus mileage and parking.

Yes, how do you get notified of jobs being available? Do they email you or is there a website that you check? I signed up months ago and have heard nothing from them?

Everytime i log on to RE the same 4 jobs are available and 3 are in London (im in newcastle) Before the software update their was always at least 50 jobs available. All my filters are ticked so sunno what i am doing wrong.

I'm not seeing London, but I'm seeing less than I was before the upgrade and I'm close to you. Another poster called Wearside mentioned the same thing a couple of days ago. I wonder if there is just a lack of work in the north east?

Work is allocated by supervisors via email or phone-if you wish email me and tell me what area you are in and I will make sure the right supervisor gets your details-(that goes for anyone else as well)

Same here. I'm in the north east but there are no jobs showing in this area for me. I can see a few in Leeds and a few in Newcastle, but nothing in between. It's been that way for months!

Well im showing none in Newcastle at all and ive set my radius to 50 miles from South Shields. It doesnt seem consistent at all to me.

Most of my Newcastle ones are for the airport - I need to change my settings, I think! I did see those pet ones in Sunderland and at the Metro, and Cramlington, and I've seen sandwich ones in Newcastle (but not today, they are all Leeds).

There is a branch of that pet place at my local retail park but I haven't seen it - so maybe someone beat me to it.
