Frequently Asked Questions

What is hotel mystery shopping?

Certified shoppers book and stay as regular guests, then report on reservations, check-in, room condition, amenities, dining, staff interactions and check-out. Overnight stays can include a guest, with reimbursements you set.

Can you evaluate arenas, theatres and sporting events?

Yes. Shoppers attend events as regular fans and report on ticketing, entry and security, concessions, washrooms, staff courtesy and the overall game-day or show experience.

Can you evaluate hotel apps, mobile check-in and digital keys?

Yes. Digital touchpoints now shape the stay: in J.D. Power’s 2025 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index, guests who downloaded their hotel’s app rated overall satisfaction 68 points higher than those who didn’t (Travel Weekly, 2025). Shoppers can test booking, the app, mobile check-in and messaging alongside the in-person stay.

Can you check how quickly reservations and inquiries are answered?

Yes. Shoppers can call, email or use online chat and booking tools, then report on response time, accuracy and how well the team sold the experience.

How do you handle events that happen only once?

For one-time events, we schedule shoppers for specific dates and times so every key moment is covered, from doors opening to the last attendee leaving.
