Become a Mystery Shopper

We conduct mystery visits all over the UK each and every month to some of your favourite shops, pubs, restaurants, bars and hotels.

We are looking for people with a good eye for detail and the ability to write well to help us complete these visits.

We'll ask you to visit a location, buy something, have a drink or something to eat. You'll need to look out for some key pointers during your visit and after you're done you'll need to fill out an online questionnaire to tell us about your experience.

In most cases an experience is for 2 people, so you get the chance to go to places you would normally choose to visit a little more often.

The information you provide is used by our clients to help improve the experience for the customer and reward well-performing staff.

It was a pleasure to do this visit for Service Monitor. It is really important to be able to highlight things that could be better in the hospitality business, alongside celebrating excellent customer relations and care. A Service Monitor visit is vital to highlight issues so that they don't happen to future customers.

Completing these surveys makes you notice the venue and the service a lot more. We ended up spending more time there as it was a great end to our day. I like that you can pick visits that are of interest or not too far away, rather than being allocated things that are of no interest.
