Hello,

I'm mainly interested in doing fine dining shops. Are there any particular companies that do this on the regular?

What about for fine dining? If the manager does not present to your table, then what? Ask any staff member what's the manager's name?

I'm just curious if it helps.

As a beginner, I only see 3 classes being offered. Is it worth it to take them and get certified?

Have you seen any difference personally in getting certified?

I'm referring only to the courses on ISS platform.

Thanks

Do the courses on the iSS platform. As a new shopper, they will give you an overview as to how this all works. On this platform, they'll also give you your first few "points" which will give you a little boost when hoping pick up your first few assignments.

I'm only seeing 2 free courses, and 1 paid course. I've done 1 free course. Is it worth to pay for the $10 course?

No. There is no reason to pay for any training for mystery shopping as you are starting out.

If you decide to take shopping seriously, it might be worthwhile to attend a a mystery shopping conference at some point as doing so, can help you to develop quality contacts with mystery shopping companies.

Thank you so much! You are the best!

I find that their payments are pretty low. Can you negotiate with them for higher pay?

Have done quite alot of work with the company now. I did a hotel the other all went well.

Does anyone know, do more "available stays" come up the higher level you are? Or is it the same.

Thanks

Which company was this with? And did the badges matter to open up new shops?

It seems there's a lot of shops to do before the next level.

Wondering if more badges open up new shops in the area?

What has been your experience with the badge system?
