Burger shops

If you have done other burger shops, you should not have a hard time finding Smashburger. The shops go really fast so you may not be seeing them. I had heard a lot about Smashburger, too, and I did the shop immediately once it moved from the old MSC. I was very disappointed. It wasn't a horrible burger but wasn't great. There are plenty of better burgers around, so I won't bother with those shops again.
MScat, I wouldn't waste too much time looking for this one. I did it with the new company and I can't imagine where all the good reviews are coming from. I won't go back.
I miss In & Out. That was a food group when I lived in LA.

They have never disappointed me. The shops are simple, the MSC is great to work with and very friendly. They just opened one by my work.@HonnyBrown wrote:

I don't know who does the new shops, but the old company had nice schedulers and decent pay, but If found the report to be crazy long. I wonder if it's still long. The burgers are good there, and I really like the skinny fries.
The new requirements allow us to order any entree. I like ordering one of the salads and adding a burger patty on top. The new MSC may not have every location? You appear to already work for them. January's shop were posted about two weeks ago.
The old scenario was worth doing because of the flat fee that allowed room for a profit. I provided narratives for many similar casual restaurant shops. The clients get what they pay for, we earn what we provide.

Haven't seen an In & Out shop for a while. I used to get them by email invitation before they were posted. I hope the contract was renewed for 2017.
In & Out was shopped during the last week of December. I also hope the contract was renewed for 2017.
Smashburger is coming to my area by July, according to an article in the paper.
I also enjoyed Smashburger with the old MSC and the schedulers were very very nice. Sadly they closed the one in my area last year 
I'm visited an area and found one. Never been before so would be interesting to check them out.

I always have liked their salads and chicken sandwiches and there is a location not too far from the day job. I kinda want to re-up with the mothership to try them again.
Just found Red Robin - love their Teri Yaki Burgers!
I just found Red Robin too. They seem to have moved MSC's at the beginning of the year (or possibly this is a test). It did say that the guidelines were just updated for Jan 2017 though.
Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.
I wonder if RR is regional? Are the shops posted on any of the job boards?

RR is regional. Also Smashburger. I have seen Smashburger shops with two other companies besides the main one, depending on the area of the country.
I just saw Red Robin last night and they are all gone already.
Red Robin lowered the reimbursement by 50% in my area

We have two Red Robins in my area. I took one late last night/early am when I first saw it and am amazed that the other one is still on the board!! I love Red Robin and am so glad I found them.

There is no way to know if the Smashburger shops which you saw with the "other" MSCs were being shopped for Smashburger itself, for a franchise, for a competitor, for a supplier, for a landlord, & etc.
Many actual shop locations are shopped by multiple MSCs for various different clients. Indeed, I once had an offer from three different MSCs to shop the same location on the same day.
I've seen one company (off the top of my head) that lists shops as a "competitor shop." But that's extremely rare.

Well, I googled it and apparently the MSC lists the client on their website. Long list of clients. I am registered with them, never see much in the DC/Baltimore area from them.

I did a Smashburger with a small bonus for a fee plus reimbursement. I was not impressed so I won't be seeking out more of those, unless bonused. Their food was average at best, IMHO.

Not sure if you Googled Red Robin or Smashburger but I found a few MSC's claiming them as clients. None of them were the MSC's that I used for these two clients recently. I suspect the MSC's are a bit liberal in their listing of clients. In some cases it appears they had the client in the past but haven't updated their web page.

Many MSC's do work other than just shops, so it's very possible they did some other type of work for the clients. I was in a meeting with an MSC owner once who mentioned to someone they do some work for a particular client. I was kind of taken aback for a moment as I'm privy to their entire shopping workload. Then I realized they probably did non-ms work for them.

Just got an email invite to do an In and Out. Glad to see they are still available in 2017.
They are building an In & Out down the road from me. Are they with a large company? I've never seen them with companies I've registered with and they've been slowly taking over Texas. Thanks

It's a Sassie company. Just sign up with all of them and you will have it covered. Jobslinger makes that not too difficult to do.
