I've never done a restaurant for GR

I've only done one (a red french one!!) but you can have set menus as well so it really works out worthwhile. Not just a subsidised meal like most of the others, but a free meal and a nice fee as well .

Who has the posh pizza place then instead of TNS???

I think we're all trying to find that out!! First one with the answer gets the prize!

No restaurants for me on GR so far.... Here's hoping one pops up!

Oooh better keep my eyes peeled on GR then for a few nice restaurants! I've not seen any restaurant jobs on there - I mainly get offered banks, phone shops and travel agents! Would love some meals out... have my addresses set to two locations with said pizza restaurant so fingers crossed soon...

Didn't RE have some pizza jobs a while back? I didn't see them ... were they they ex-TNS ones?

Awww...I've only done one job for GR. I was out doing one for them in fact when I lost out 2 more that popped up! Boo....None since. I'm gutted because I enjoyed their one the best. And it was the best fee so far too!

I've done two jobs for GR now and really enjoyed them. Fingers crossed, I'll get a few more from them but they get snapped up very quickly.

I did a restaurant visit last week for GR, one that I've never seen on any other Ms website, though bear in mind I've only been MSing for about 6 months! Reimbursement was low (though I could use a voucher, just couldn't find any!) and there was no fee, tbut the questionnaire was pretty good.

Again, I've only evenr done two jobs for GR before, a shop that belongs to a supermarket, and that assignment was a joke. It was my 2nd or 3rd mystery shop as a new shopper and I had to remember names and descriptions of SIX different members of staff, go to various different departments in the store. I ended up in the changing rooms half way through, making notes about the first three people I'd spoken to!! Awful fee for the work.

Though, I gave them a second chance, and visited a travel agency, and the visit was pretty good, fair assignment, fair questionnaire, fair fee.

I might give one of the bank jobs on Gfk a go, but the problem with them is that I work Mon-Fri full time, so it's difficult to fit them in unless I'm on leave.

I missed a couple of Italians on GR a couple of weeks ago, but not specific pizza places.

They did have some takeaway pizza places but I haven't seen any of the ex-TNS ones on there.
