Right now they are shopping the TexMex Grill less because of its recent problems.
No. They shop that restaurant chain
because they always have! They were founded for this client exclusively, and recently started expanding their shops.
Training has been in my area three times in the two years since I applied. If you frequent the restaurant, you can start observing the food items as you go through, and what kinds of things the crew members do. That will make the training less arduous. HTH
LGRM, either I worded my post badly or you misunderstood what I said. Maybe both.
The TexMex Grill is still shopped by the same company which has always had that client. Since the client's recent health issues, the client's business has been negatively impacted. Each location is now being shopped less frequently on a monthly basis. A recent communication to shoppers from the MSC included: "As you all know {redacted} has gone through some difficult times as of recent and this has impacted us at {MSC} as well as you, most notably the amount of shops available. "
There are fewer shops and in many areas, there are now enough shoppers. In other areas, shoppers are needed and there will be training to bring those shoppers on board. While training has taken place pretty often in the past, the number of trainings may be fewer because fewer shops are available.
On the bright side, this MSC does not have just one client. They have THREE. In addition to the TexMex Grill, there is one client that appears to be located only in the East/Washington DC area and the other is a new and upcoming burger chain located worldwide who is aggressively opening new restaurants all over.
When one door closes, another opens. Although there are fewer shops offered with the TexMex Grill, perhaps resulting in fewer training opportunities, there will be training opportunities for this MSC's other clients. This is a great MSC. Sign up and watch for training!
