National Shopping Service has shops in our area that include casual restaurants. I have to admit, I haven't had a chance to do a mystery shop for them yet but I do intend to soon. From what I've heard from other mystery shoppers it seems that the shop forms are fairly easy to fill out and they pay pretty well.

Market Force is a mystery shopping company that includes a wide variety of shops to choose from including banks, retailers, restaurants, and grocery stores. When you sign up you will have a choice of three portals to select with a variety of assignments to choose from.

Focus on Service is a great one to belong to. They service a great restaurant with locations in Lakeland and Winter Haven and you can only receive a shop twice a year. I found that they have a fairly simple report to fill out after you complete your assignment and will call you if there are any questions. The compensation is a nice amount - it probably won't cover your whole bill but it was very close to what we spent and well worth it!

Corporate Research International is another good one. They service several local businesses with locations all around Polk County. This company is great because there is a nice variety of shops and they are fairly quick at reimbursement.

Service Sleuth offers a nice variety of mystery shops to choose from. I have done a shop with them for an oil change and couldn't have been more pleased. They do pay through Paypal so if you don't have an account with them you'd need to set one up.
