Insula Research previously conducted the fast food pricing audits. They were bought out by Mystery Researchers, who was quickly bought out by Beyond Hello.
Sadly, Beyond Hello sent out an email with the new pricing audit shops, and they have dropped the commission to $8 each (down from $11 when Insula had them). This is extremely disappointing, considering that these shops are a bit time consuming and obviously require money to be spent on gas for local travel/sitting in the drive-thru line. In the past, I would pick up dozens of these shops during their audit periods. Unfortunately, they are just not worth it anymore.
It's unfortunate that shoppers suffer when these mergers and transitions take place within the industry, but obviously it is up to us to adjust and make up for the lost revenue in other places. Even so, Insula was one of my favorite companies to work with, but unfortunately they are no more. They are already missed.
