Five Guys in Presto

I just saw 5G shops listed in Presto as InstaShops - the ones in my area are pickup shops as opposed to dine in shops. The current 5G MSC [being discussed in multiple threads on the forum] doesn’t use Presto. I’m beginning to wonder if the current MSC will have any clients left before long…this is the 3rd client in less than a year that someone else has shopped simultaneously. Maybe this is just a different type of evaluation for the client (?).
Hint: this is not the MSC that swiped the last 2 clients.

I am pretty sure that the ones on Presto are not being done for or by 5G. Possibly something more like the annual QSR study, but centered around online and pickup accuracy. What gave me this impression was that I also saw a few other quick casual restaurants on the map, offered by the same MSC via Presto, with the same instructions as 5G. And those brands do not have a regular mystery shopping program as far as I have ever seen.
I did one for Jersey Mike's yesterday and I've seen Shack Shake posted as well. It's a totally different project that is not related to the 5G currently being done by the big MSC.

I've done a lot of 5Gs shops, but haven't done anything through Presto until yesterday. I find Presto confusing, but I know it's a learning curve. If I'm only interested in restaurant shops, is there a way to filter for that? I've tried putting "dining" or "restaurant" in the filter results bar, but there doesn't seem to be any consistence in how things are posted so the filters are inconsistent.

How were the 5G listed? I'd love to find some 5G online jobs! On the other MS I see almost all dine-in.
I picked up the 5G presto shop since it was down the street from where I was getting a haircut today. The fee was only $8 and I figured since your ordering options were a Little Burger, Little Cheesburger or Grilled cheese with cajun fries and a regular soda, that the reimbursement of $15 would cover it. How wrong I was. It was almost $17.

I don't care for the Grilled Cheese sandwich, but that would've gotten me under the max reimbursement. It is easy to do and you only have to provide screenshots of the receipts and pickup instructions. So no bathroom or inside store pics.

It was right before noon and they only had 4 other customers in the store. I doubt that I will do this one again.
So this MSC short-changes like the regular 5G msc.

Yes, I did one for McAdlister's Deli yesterday since they're not normally shopped. That went over the $15 as well. Some of the other restaurants in my area are Qdoba and Chicken Salad Chick.
I did a Jersey Mikes and a Panera. They also had Panda Express, Five Guys, and Chipolte in my area. They are basically trying to find out information on order pick up process for different restaurants. They give you limited choices of what to order.
I did a Qdoba today and didn't go over. Got my husband a steak burrito bowl, chips & queso, drink & brownie.
I did a Panera yesterday and a Chipotle today because they were both in my town. Panera cost me $20!! Chipotle came in just over 15. They are going to need to up the reimbursements on some of these because the prices have really gone up.
@Niner You asked if the total was $8 for the Shake Shack job and you said it does not say what you need to order, but you edited the post and removed the questions. This was my reply: If you click the View Survey, a new box/tab pops up and just scroll down a little and it will show you a few food items. Those are your limited choices for the Shake Shack job. The choices are Shackburger, Chicken Shack, and Grilled Cheese; you also need to choose from fries or cheese fries; and a regular drink.

At the top of the box/tab that opens up it reads:

You will be reimbursed up to $15 for your meal

The fee is $8.
