I saw a job about a year ago at my local Eataly but since I did not take it I dont remember what company and I am not even sure it was about a specific retail place or perhaps it was for the shopping center they were in. I am only responding to let you know some company somewhere did recently have a job involving Eataly in my market.
Yes, I've shopped it for two MSCs just in the last month. (One has had the client for years, I'm not sure if the other is going to start shopping it on a regular basis or not.) The typical scenario is a meal with such a low reimbursement that only one person can go and they can just get a soda for a drink. Both MSCs have been discussed on here and both solicit the shop via email, so just keep signing up!
I did one at Rockefeller Center a week before Christmas. Will not be doing that again during holiday season. Bathroom photos were a requirement and I waited on the bathroom line for over 30 minutes! But to answer your question, yes, I have seen the shops.
If you are dining by yourself, their reimbursement will not cover it and if you manage to do it, you are most clever. Never mind about having a guest. Never did one and not planning to ever. I still get the emails, LOL.
For the "email" MSC (a big hint!) the lunch reimbursement is $40 and the dinner is $60. As a solo dinner I can get a soda and a really nice pizza or pasta dish which will inevitably leave with me leftovers and keep me under reimbursement. They also often have lunch pre-fixe menus.
