Fast Food Shops With Photo of Menu Boards + Small Purchase

How easy are the reports on these jobs? Are they as simple as uploading the photos or do they require inputting pricing information too? Thanks!

The requirements vary. In past discussions, many have noted it is difficult to capture interior menus without a manager questioning you. If the prices are hard to read, some of the surveys require manually entering everything.

Personally, I no longer consider the ones that require a small purchase. I consider the simple ones that only require pics of the drive thru menus; maybe doing them if I find one next door to something else I am already doing.

My posts are solely based on my opinions and for my entertainment, contact a professional if you need real advice.

Yes, I fell for that once, too. The cheapest thing on the menu was about $3. I felt stupid after I did the shop. Even though it was 2 minutes from my other shop, I thought I could get a small soda or something for around $1. Nope, $2.79 plus tax was the cheapest available item. I never accepted another one! The shop itself was easy, but took over 15 minutes; the report was easy, and took about 15 minutes. I can't AFFORD to work half an hour for $2 net!

Great responses. They helped me decide not to grab a few on my route. Thank you!

I used to do those, when the pay was better. Since the purchase requirement was to get a receipt, not a specific item, I could usually find someone else's receipt on the ground, on a table, near the condiments station, in the garbage. Each one I could find was money in my pocket, as the cost was incorporated into the shop fee. Even a dollar item gets taxed in most states and it adds up.

They used to pay $11. I did them back then. No more.

E-Z peazy, but the low pay is not worth the risk of having to go back if you miss something or don't get a good pic. definitely not worth the pay unless you happen to already be driving past the location.
