5 hours on the report not including the time to do the shop?
Hope the fee was at least $100.

I agree, and that’s why I don’t do them.
They only take me about an hour, but still, for $15 fee, I’m not interested.

The fee is basically there to cover your transport to the restaurant and parking. Anyone looking to pay their rent via assignments for Coyle is going to be frustrated.
Even within those options, there are better and worse assignments, however. The full bar/dinner narratives take a while for me, even though I've probably done over 500 of them. Anything without a bar portion gets my interest these days, as well as the subjective only reports. Those can be done in under and hour and should be 2 pages max.
If you are at 5 pages for a standard restaurant you are probably being to verbose. There are ways to structure your sentences to cover multiple standards, so for a section with 25-30 questions, you should be able to get the narrative down to 5-6 sentences.

How long are your final reports? Mine are around five or six pages single spaced. Are you writing about every question in the narrative (all 240 of them?)

I get a 100 on the reports, but at this point, it does not seem worth it. I would rather cook and not have to write a report, or complete a shop that will take 45 minutes to write up. We are also perfectly happy eating at Chili's for the 3/$10.

100 pays the same as a 96. I get lots of 100’s. But, I can see the other reports, so I know I’m fine, better than 90% of the others every time with minimal effort on my part.
So now we’re on the same page.

I'm a new shopper and just completed a Coyle restaurant/cafe assignment. How long does it usually take the editors to evaluate them and score you? It's been about 5 days and I'm worried they aren't going to cover my expenses...
