Alcohol and Tobacco Mystery Shops

Hello,

I am looking for Bar audits or compliance checks that involve purchasing alcohol or tobacco. Can Someone refer me to any companies that offer this? Thank you for your help!

More About Tobacco Compliance Audits

Normally it's though local governments, contact the police station in your city.

Contacting the police department might be a waste of time. Taylor13, there are many bars, restaurants, and stores that want to test to see if their servers and cashiers are complying with the law, and they hire mystery shopping companies to do that. Being caught selling to minors by the local police department or the state's alcohol and tobacco enforcement units usually means loss of license and/or heavy fine or suspension of license, so they hire the MSCs and fire any non-compliant employees.

I'm beyond the age for tobacco compliance checks now, so I haven't kept up with the mystery shopping companies doing those but there are a bunch of them. I do shop several restaurants and bars that have alcohol compliance shops. Try Mercantile. There are others but I can't think of them offhand.

Sutter Marketing, North Fork Research, and Confero are all companies I have done compliance for. All with nationwide chains. Not sure if the chains are shopped everywhere though. I've seen bar shops on iSS also. Good luck!

I've seen in my area (Central Florida) Trendsource has alcohol checks at grocery stores, and Intouch has both at various gas stations
