I have never done a shop on the ISS platform because of the fees offered in my area. Is this one of the platforms where you need to do a few shops to 'get a foot in the door' before other shops start to appear (or just wishful thinking on my part...)?
I'm not sure about the foot in the door bit, but I do know you accumulate badges and points for each completed shop. The more points you get the more shops you can self assign.
The fees for InTouch Insite haven't been the best, but I've been doing shops where I'm either already at the location or passing by.
I did a fine dining shop that I used to do for Customer Impact. With CI it used to take me about an hour to write the report and it required timing every transaction, drinks, ordering, appetizer, etc etc. With ISS I was able to complete 50% of the shop before we finished our meal. Easy yes or no, who's your server, hostess and no timings. Had a fantastic dinner for two with lamb tenderloin and duck breast and drinks. After tax and tips it cost me $2. $175 reimbursement and $5 shop fee but I consider that a win.
For the bar shops I've been doing, it's $5 fee and $45 reimbursement. But if I'm going to the bar anyway, I get 4 top shelf drinks for free and can complete 85% of the report in the app while I'm doing the shop.
They pay within 2 weeks.
