Service
Mystery Shopper
We send trained evaluators through your operation and report on what actually happens at the table, on the phone, and online — not what your team thinks happens.
Who It’s For
Built for operators in this position
Multi-unit operators who need an objective view across locations, and single-unit operators preparing for an experience overhaul, brand reposition, or new manager handoff.
What This Covers
The scope of work
Each engagement is scoped to your situation; this is the core surface area.
- In-person guest experience audits across dayparts
- Service standards: greeting, attentiveness, recovery
- Upsell and suggestive-selling behavior tracking
- Cleanliness and presentation walkthrough
- Speed of service measurement
- Brand consistency across locations
Why It Matters
The economic logic behind this work
- 01
Owners and managers who eat in their own restaurants get the manager-on-duty version. Mystery audits get the random-Tuesday version.
- 02
Speed-of-service drift is invisible from the office and obvious to repeat guests.
- 03
Suggestive-selling alone is typically worth 3–6 points of average check when documented and trained.
Key Outcomes
What success looks like
- Documented guest experience baseline per location
- Specific behavioral gaps mapped to coaching opportunities
- Trended view across multiple visits, not single anecdotes
- Quantified upsell and recovery performance

What you get
- Multi-visit evaluation reports per location
- Service standards scorecard
- Touchpoint map (greeting, ordering, mid-meal, close)

FAQ
Questions operators ask
How do evaluators stay anonymous?+
Evaluators visit during normal operating hours, pay for their meals, and tip standardly. Reports are written from the guest perspective, not as inspections.
How do you handle staff who feel surveilled?+
Programs work best when staff know mystery shopping happens, but not when. We script the announcement and the follow-up so the program is a coaching tool, not a punishment.
Can we focus on a specific issue?+
Yes. Programs can be tuned to bar service, phone takeout handling, suggestive selling, or any other specific concern.
