Friendly's and Red Robin
Warning: For Full Access Please Log In or Create an Account (Free)
Red Robin is shopped by the same flat payment company who has done them for quite some time. I have heard nothing of Friendly's recently, but they are not in my area so I don't know whether they have reduced shops, quit shops or moved MSP.
I actually ran across someone's private google page online which lists just about all the mystery shopping companies and which businesses they have clients with. It's probably not legal to have all that information out on the web, but it IS up there. I believe I found it actually when I googled TNS media. The list was up to date, but I was sad to see so many good businesses near me actually use the not-so-good mystery shopping companies.
Just yesterday I saw a shop for Red Robin but I am not sure where. If I find it I'll be back.
Hi friend4v! Please be aware that our Independent Contractor Agreements prohibit our telling folks who the shopping company's clients are. So the 'standard' is that we do not post the name of the company that shops a client in the same thread where the client's name is posted. So even if you remember who shops Red Robin, do NOT post the name in this thread. Hints are allowed, though they still need to be somewhat obscure so that you don't violate your ICA.
The Red Robin company starts with 3 initials, and RR seems to be their only client. Friendly's has such bad food that I wouldn't go even for a free meal.

In my market RR is shopped by a company with 2 initials and RR is not their only client. Friendly's is not in my market at all and last gossip I heard had dropped their shops.
I see RR shops via email from a name and associates, even though we don't have them, or the other restaurants they shop, here.

Yes, that's the one. My error, it's 2 initials and associates. But also, no RR here or any of their other clients here. I've stopped checking them.
Oh my, January RRs posted and they are $4 less than in 2008.
Well, it makes sense they would be less now that you aren't required to order the milkshake/smoothie drink.(They were well over $4 on our menu) All you have to order is one entree and any beverage or your choice.........so still able to make a few bucks!!
Plus you can do them alone:
IMPORTANT: YOU CAN DO THIS ASSIGNMENT BY YOURSELF. HOWEVER, we would prefer you to dine with another person. You can get seperate checks during your visit. For example, you can do a lunch or dinner visit with a friend and request seperate checks. You can also dine with up to five other guest for a total of six people during your visit.

I just tried searching for the list again, but can't seem to find it anymore. Perhaps they were busted and the site was shut down. Either way, I DO remember that many items on the list were out-dated after comparing it to current assignments on job slinger. I would highly suggest just going on jobslinger.com and seeing what's available in your area to find out which mystery shopping companies have which clients. Kern Scheduling is also a great website to sign up with, so you can get additional assignments sent directly to your e-mail. I'm not too familiar with Kern, since I recently just signed up with them myself. So far, I only took one assignment through them, but it was given to someone else. Thank God I have a full time job because I couldn't even make a part-time living doing Mystery shopping. Most assignments, at least in my area, just don't pay well enough.
I had done a number of shops for Kern through different MSC's. They are great to deal with.

Actually it is only people who have signed Independent Contract Agreements that can not divulge what MSC shops what client.Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get that information and tell it to the world. Some companies I work for don't even have an confidentiality clause in the contract.
Yep love my Red Robins do probably at least 3 a month.
