Marketforce meal time limits

I'm sure this has come up here before, but I was unable to find the answer by searching.

With Marketforce: 1. You can't do more than one fast food shop per meal time. 2. Their "who wants a burger?" fast casual client only allows one shop per meal time. However, does that mean if you do one of their fast food shops at lunch you'd need to wait until dinner before doing the fast casual shop? Or would it be possible to do a fast food lunch as well as a fast casual lunch (different clients) within the same meal period?

Thanks!

Best plan of action is to call or email any MSC who is involved to get approval.

My experience with Marketforce is that they spell out very clearly what meal times are.

I can do a LTO at a particular MF ff shop from 11 AM to 2 PM. The park-in-a-stall shop has entirely different mealtimes, and I can do them from 11 AM to 8 PM. According to helpdesk, as long as I do the park-in-a-stall more than one hour after doing the LTO shop, AND it is in a different meal time, I'm good to go.

So I have LTO at 11 AM, and my cheeseburger at 2:30 and I'm golden.

So you could do the park-in-a-stall at 4:00 PM, and a sit-down restaurant dinner at 7:00 PM and be good.

Just carefully read the meal times; they are on the "see job details" page, you don't have to accept the job before you see the mealtimes.

Hope this helps.

And, of course, this doesn't apply to other MSC's meals -- you can do your MF shop, zip down the street and do the one for SeeLevel 15 minutes later, if you wish (and can bear it, LOL).

I may be wrong but I thought it was no more than two for a particular client in a certain meal tineframe. Like I could do lunch at a drive in ff shop & then an online shop for lunch at a fast casual (I would then taste it & take it to my husband). If it was the same client I couldn't double up in the same time frame.

Not if they are both MF shops. They are very specific that you may NOT do more than one during a meal time.

You are correct, and only certain clients have the no-double-lunch rules.

Sure would like to know when Marketforce changed this rule, then.

Different MF employees have given me different answers. In my experience, if I happen to get Simone, I usually don't like her answers.

On the Drive in shops they have to be done in the time ranges 11am-2pm,2pm-5pm,5pm-8pm. from CPI
The fast casual HAVE to be done in the time range in they assign. I have done in this in 2019 same day at noon and dinner shop.
I have never been able to get assigned the two on the same day. My worry is that the editors would throw it out. I have put in the WRONG time on Two different shops (Phone and hardware) that should overlapping times and they threw both shops out.

I have noticed once I put in for the lunch shop, the other meal time shops for that same client in that same city will be taken off my list. So there is no way I could say do that lunch shop and then even do the dinner shop. Not even for a different day.

On a recent day I had the "who wants a burger" and a sit-down wait service assignment the same day and was told by the Help Desk I couldn't do both in the same meal period. (The Help Desk changed the date of one to a date not available on the reschedule drop-down, which was nice.)

I've tried emailing to see if I could do the drive-in shop at 1pm and "who wants a burger" at 3pm on the same day. That would be a different meal time for the drive-in but a duplicate meal time shop for the burger place. Neither of my polite emails (sent five days apart) yielded a response.

Tomorrow I have two FF drive in shops. One is lunch the other is all day. I will do the lunch as late as I can at about 1:35. I will do the all day one after 2 pm. Ive done this multiple times with no issues.

Ill share my experience. I did two shops of the same place in the same day, but for one shop I started at 1:15PM and was done well before 2PM. After this I decided then it was a new meal period and found another shop which started after 2PM that I did. I got approved for both shops with no issue. Just follow the guidelines and keep it to one shop per meal period and you'll be fine.

Thanks shopaholic! After many back and forths with the Help Desk I was also able to confirm that you could do, say, a burger shop at 1pm and a drive-in shop at 2pm, and I've since done that a number of times without any issue. I was reminded to leave 30 minutes between the shops.

I recently did an all day drive-in shop and then a fast casual right down the street and I've never been questioned about the meal times. I assumed because it was for two different clients.

lets say you went to larrys taco and they have limits every two hours , so you can only do one shop from 11-1 for larrys taco. but also a shop for franks pork chop shop. which is a different vender. you could do a shop for franks pork chop during 11-1 since it is a different company

It's every three hours for one client's shop drive-in or thru except for breakfast which is only 1 a day. Then you have various meat shops all of which open for lunch and on. They have 1 divided up into lunch or dinner and that's it, and only one for each time frame. Max of 2 a day. Then you have the clucker shop most of which have assigned times and only once during each time. But you can do more than one in a day if you can get them lunch and dinner. Then they have the same clucker shop that is anytime and those are like teeth on a clucker. Rare. Then the cheese sandwich shop you can only do one in the time period they usually tell you what time. And then there is the casual sit down and get waited on during the shop which if I remember right is one of three times breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For these shops, you would be hard-pressed to do more than two in one day as they are so far apart.
