Gigwalk food shops are actually Red Quanta?

I just signed up with Gigwalk, I saw a FF shop with a $25 reimbursement, but you have to set up a special gmail account to do it. I did, and when I got the confirmation that I was ready to go it said Red Quanta. Anyway, no way I'm doing these shops after the things I've read here about this company, and thank you to forum members for sharing their experiences.

Well it was all I needed to see. Wish they had said up front that it was RQ, I wouldn't have wasted time setting up a new gmail for the shops.
A good amount of shoppers here did the delivery shops on Gigwalk (the exact ones offered by Red Quanta). We were all paid within 1-3 business days through Gigwalk. Gigwalk has a payment guarantee. If the MSC fails to approve your shop within 2 weeks, Gigwalk will automatically send you payment for the shop.
You are all good with the GigWalk jobs. I did quite a few the food ones and was always reimbursed within a couple of days.
I heard an interview the other day on NPR on how RedQuanta and DoorDash sell customer's information. How fun.
Well if I'm dealing with Gigwalk and not RQ then I might try one. I'm not signed up with RQ and don't plan to. If they sell your info that's another reason to avoid them. Thanks to all for the info. I didn't know any of this.

I love how everyone is skipping over this tidbit.
LOL, I'd like a list of who DOES NOT sell customer info.

That list would be a whole lot shorter!
Meh, of all the personal information out there my food ordering habits are the least of my concerns. Try googling your name some time and see what has been pieced together from public records. That is scary! The fact I like bacon cheeseburgers, not so much.

My name is so common it would take a long time to find the "real" me. But according to the interview it's a lot more than just your food preferences they are selling.
How about that 1 in 4 delivery drivers admit to taking a bite of the customers' food? If 1 in 4 admit it, whats the actual number? Ew.

I have seen the people who pick up food for delivery. They don't look like the types that have clean cars or wash their hands frequently. Hard pass on gig delivery orders. No thanks,
Ick.

Good reason to have photo delivery shops. The client can see what was actually delivered and compare it with what left the restaurant.
No, but surely they should know what they serve. If an order of ribs should have five and the customer only got four, for example. It could be a good selling tool for an MSC to offer a client. It also might discourage the delivery person from eating the food.
Problem with that is, no one could prove that the kitchen didn't skimp on the customer's order or whoever boxed and bagged the order didn't snack on it while doing so. When I worked in a restaurant I saw servers snag a few shrimp or fries off plates on the line and kitchen workers nibbling before plating when they thought no one was looking. This was way back before people ordered takeout, but those same types of people are undoubtedly still working at restaurants.
JASFLALMT Trust me they still are.
