Mystery Shopping Thread 23 *PLEASE READ THE OP FIRST**PLEASE NO CLIENT NAMES OR FEES

Littleoldme

I am doing a "quick Pizza" visit today for GAP, I have done plenty of delivery ones for this client but I have never been in the restaurant (?) where you get served even for the quick visits.

I know what the briefing notes says to ask for, is this an actual individual pizza they cook for you there and then or is it sliced from a big one? If it is an individual ones (which I think it must be from the briefing notes) then roughly does the reimbursement cover what needs to be bought.

Thanks in advance, I think if I had ever been in one of these restaurants I would feel happier about what I need to do.

"Individual" is just a size of pizza. It's less than the size of a dinner plate. Have a look at their menu online.

Hi and welcome...

Observation is a key requirement for the job, amongst many other skills. make sure its right for you.

Thanks, I've started reading it and taking down a few notes. One question I would like to ask is if I register with a MS company like Market Force am I then employed by them? I don't want to have to register as self-employed and there seems to be quite a lot about that on the first page of this thread.

Very few companies now 'employ' you, and certainly not as a beginner, so you will need to register as self-employed. There's plenty of information on the site about it though.
I find MF Ok to work for.

yes you are self employed and required to register with the HMRC (tax man) and keep full sets of business accounts

if you dont want to do that, then this is not for you
few if any have employed only staff

read that first page then read all the other previous threads, they will answer most if not all your questions especially the most common that are asked all the time
its not get rich quick or easy and really isnt for every one
not looking to put you off but too many people think mystery shopping is easy and in particular Market force are one of the lowest paying companies going and require a lot of work for little to no reward

I should have said, I do pick and choose the jobs I do for them, but they have a lot of jobs that are good fillers and are probably a good company for a beginner.
