Fast Food Mystery Shops? (In Canada)

February 14, 2013 10:40PM
Hi there!

I just recently decided to look into doing some mystery shops after my friend told me about some.

I know he does a lot of mystery shops at car dealerships looking at new vehicles and he said they pay pretty well.

I was just wondering if there are any fast food type of mystery shops? I tend to stop at some a few times in a given month so i figured I might as well get paid for it.

I travel around:

Toronoto, Ontario all the way to Greenstone, Ontario depending on my duties with my full time job

And sometimes Quebec if need be

My question is: How much would a mystery shop at a fast food place like Mcdonalds pay? Do they reimburse the food or is it like one lump sum of money?

Most (or all) fast food restaurants are mystery shopped. They generally reimburse the meal plus put a few dollars in my pocket. I am also in Canada - Alberta. When I pass through some towns that shoppers don't get to very often the shops are often bonused and pay quite a bit.

Yeah, I sometimes travel west from Toronto-but how much does one in Toronto and other bigger cities pay?

Are we talking like $10 or is it more? Tell me it's more smiling smiley

I'm guessing in the city they reimburse a meal and put a few dollars in your pocket, and don't get bonused because people do them.

One, I do regularly pays 10.00 plus reimburses the meal from the walk in and the meal from the drivethru. So, that's 10.00 in my pocket. Tomorrow I'm going to a rural town and getting paid a $55.00 fee for the same job. I'm guessing they don't get bonused in the city.

A second one is similar. Eventually the jobs that sit on the job board go up.

Another one pays $16.00 minus the cost of the meal. So less dollars in my pocket. I've rarely seen it go up more than a couple of dollars no matter how long the job sat on the job board and how far out of the city it was.

A third one starts out paying $5.00 plus the meal. I'm doing that one for $30.00 tomorrow (in the same town as the $55.00) which makes the trip doable. If I were going to northern Saskatchewan or Manitoba they have a couple jobs paying a fee of $100.00.

So, IMHO, in the city it's pretty much going to be a burger (or chicken) and a few dollars. Or as someone on this forum likes to say, a burger and a bonus.
