Mcdonalds shops on Presto

I was making bank on the Mcdonalds shops! I havent seen them on presto in a couple of days. Ive not been a shopper long, so i'm not familiar on how they work. How often are these shops on there? Will they come back soon?.

Same here, once i got the hang of the kiosk shops, the money was good and my kids were actually sick of McDonald's. I'm new as well so curious to see some answers to this. Sonic is big big as well but there is only one in my area. Give me some burger king or Wendy's. Lots of those around here.
We have a sonic around every corner here. Im burned out on those! Lol McDonalds was great because i could be in and out in 20 minutes. I have four kids, so i alternated taking them and it just worked soo well. I check multiple times a day for them on Presto. Lol
Same! There are so many McDs near me and it kept me happy and fed. Missing them big time.

I am still seeing them in my area. Hope they don’t disappear. Easy $$
I am still being offered them. Hope they don’t disappear. Easy $$
Back in the day I remember McDs shops regularly being a thing. As a college student it was great, because the requirements were to order one meal for dine in, then 20 minutes later go through the drive thru and order again. I was able to eat lunch then take a second meal home for dinner.
This is the first time I’ve seen them on the presto Insta shop app and I’ve been doing this for 10+ years but took a 2.5 year break during Covid and worked mostly with the Merchandiser app.
Anyway, I believe they had like 10 for each location and if all 10 shops were completed, they disappeared off the board. I guess the only way to know if they will come back is to check next month. There are a few left in my area (within 150 miles), not too many though. But would like to see them come back as well.
For the people who have done multiple blue colored shops for presto, is there a scheduler that you can reach out to via each MSC? I haven’t done but a couple of those and have just grabbed the shops off the board, but I’ve never contacted by anybody.
Also, is there a way to schedule in advance on Presto for an upcoming day? Or maybe but somehow contacting the MSC that the shop is through?

While they didn't tell us for sure, it's a safe guess the client is actually... (checks thread to ensure no MSC name...) Coke. They were most likely checking that McDonald's was complying with contract terms for cross-promotion. Some questions like the McRib one are harder to explain, but that's more likely than the company that owns the database asking us what the prices are.

With that in mind, I think they want a quantity of different varieties for each region. Some of you may still be seeing them but I haven't seen one in NJ since around Jan 4. And it's unlikely to be a near-term repeat since Coke is not incentivised to give reports to stores and send us back.

This would be different if McDonald's was the client because they might want constant checks. A la Sonic or Arby's at their MSCs.

The contact for this shop in particular was awful. Other times it's been pretty straightforward. The shops for CI through Presto went through Jason who was superb at correspondence.

Scheduling in advance doesn't seem like something they want. The best I could do was find one with a 72 hour countdown.
These are up to $75 a shop in my area but I still can't bring myself to complete one.
Really? Ive done like 30 of them. Theyre so easy once you get the hang of it.

What's the area? Enough $75s and maybe I'll come say hi. smiling smiley

Steilinga is right, it's about getting used to it. The first one is going to be awful. Probably the second and third too. But once you're familiar with the menu you can do fewer back-and-forth. Eventually I could look down the menu and know which drinks would and wouldn't require pricing shots, and then go down the report checklist and remember what I'd seen. Then it was just upload the right drink photo and type in the price it shows. I learned other tricks like using a tablet for bigger screenshots or recording a video and taking stills off of it.

This is why those of us who've done a bunch wouldn't mind more, but those who dabbled absolutely hated it. The shop setup is not as smart as it could be and as a result the learning curve is really steep.

But - and this is important - not every shop is right for every person. Which is fine. Some people don't want to mess around with phone menus and screenshots. Some don't need frequent jobs, just bigger pay per hour on rare occasions. I personally pick my jobs based on social awkwardness. If I can behave like a normal customer I'm in. Better still if there's no interaction. If I have to do something I would never do as a normal customer, I'm going to pass.

I am with you on this! I really don't want much interaction. These gas station reveal shops are plentiful but I just can't even imagine doing them. I may eventually have to leave my comfort zone but for now there seems to be enough "leave me alone" type of work. The McDonalds shops were easy and I wish I would have done more but I was just starting out and I was busy doing all of the BP light audits because you could not get any less interaction with parking your car across the street and taking pictures!
Did you use the recording a screen shots for kiosk shops? I want to try it but i didnt want to risk them deing denied
Were they just for January or did they have them in other months too? Just wondering if they’ll still do them in February
I'm just worried about what to say about why I am taking pictures of the kiosk

Just go during a lunch or dinner rush and they will never even notice you. You can also just bring someone to tall to stand there and talk to you while you do it and they can kind of block you.
Has anyone seen any McDonald’s shops yet this month?
The project is officially closed except a few locations per an email i reveived
Thanks for the information. Do you know what area or state the shops are in? Another question, do you know any other shops that pay as well?
The border of Mexico and Texas by ME
They changed the time to complete to 4 hours also it seems.they limited the number you can hold also.

Yeah, it's strange how the shops appear and disappear on Presto. They were gone for a while and then this morning all 3 of the McDonald's in my town showed up for breakfast kiosk shops. They were up to $75 so I picked one up. But now the others are gone from Presto again. I suppose all 3 could have been grabbed b/c the rate increased so much. Who knows.
They only needed a certain amount of shops completed in a vicinity. They posted shops for all of the McDonald's locations. Once they met the quota for type of shop in a vicinity, the other shops for that type were removed in the respective vicinity.
