i've seen the emails but have yet to request
more information from them on what exactly
is involved. I usually don't entertain shops
that schedulers claim are "easy" since that
is rarely the case.

One of their schedulers is a frequent poster
here and I'm sure will be able to answer

= + = + = + = + = + = + = + = + = + = + = +
There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots

Be prepared to look for and note at least a dozen varieties of one brand of rum, for example. If you are not familiar with what all these bottles look like, it is very time consuming and confusing. I bartended to put myself through college, so I have a good background. However, there are a lot of new flavors and some label and design changes since then, so I don't do these bar shops too often.

Hi all-
You're right..."easy" is very subjective so I took the term "simple" out of my job board post. These audits ARE simple for some people, but are also overwhelming for others. Our goal is for the auditor to obtain and retain as much observed information as they can. We don't expect perfection. We also ask for some interaction with the bartender regarding promotions, brands, and recommendations.

I've posted a new invite on the forum's job board. After looking it over, please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

They just raised the price from 10.00 to 20.00, with the difference being you didn't have to order a drink before. The shop was easy with pictures being the main thing (of special drink events). They now say you can have a drink, hence the 10.00
reimbursement. The shops are easy and fun, I love it when they are in my town. You should know a bit about bars and
new type drinks, you have to ask questions and take photo's without anyone seeing.

Thanks Irene...I know you like the bar surveys you've been doing for me winking smiley ...but just so no one is confused, this is a new, different project that requires more observations-hence the higher pay.

And an fyi for anyone who might be interested in them, we have just changed them to no purchase required.
