What is Hospitality Mystery Shopping?

Hospitality mystery shopping involves trained evaluators posing as real guests to assess your hotel, restaurant, or other hospitality establishment. These secret shoppers meticulously evaluate your service standards, guest experience, and operational efficiency across all aspects of your business. Our team of industry-experienced professionals designs customised mystery shopping programs tailored to your specific needs. We leverage a unique blend of methodologies, including:

  • Detailed Scenario Development: We craft realistic scenarios that mirror real-guest experiences, ensuring actionable insights.
  • Meticulous Shopper Selection: Our highly-trained mystery shoppers possess exceptional observation skills and a deep understanding of hospitality standards.
  • Data-Driven Reporting: Comprehensive reports provide detailed feedback and actionable recommendations for improvement.

Benefits of Mystery Café Customer

Using a hotel, bar, or restaurant audit service in Australia is a critical way to find out how your staff is interacting with your guests and how your guests respond to your brand.

  1. Enhance your customer experience. Mystery customers give you an inside view of your hotel or restaurant from a customer’s perspective. They’ll report back to you on the cleanliness of your rooms, the customer service they receive, and all your key performance indicators to highlight opportunities for improvement for you.
  2. Improve your competitive advantage. Today’s competitive market requires successful businesses to set themselves apart and develop lasting customer relationships. A mystery customer or hospitality customer service survey in Australia can teach you how to leverage your strengths and weaknesses to position your business for maximum success strategically.
  3. Support your employees. Your team works tirelessly to keep your guests happy. They deserve to be recognised and rewarded for exceptional work and to be supported to continue to perform at their best. Mystery shoppers give you the chance to analyse their performance and identify the areas in which they need support to strengthen the quality of their customer care.

Key Questions to Ask Mystery Management

If you’re considering hiring a mystery shopper, you’re making a smart move for your business. Mystery shopping works – as long as you use the right provider. Here are a few questions to ask before signing up.

  • Do you have experience working in my industry? Mystery shopping programs tend to break down into segments such as retail, foodservice, healthcare, and hospitality. Make sure that the company with which you work has excellent knowledge of your industry.
  • Who are your evaluators? A reliable, reputable mystery shopping service will know their shoppers in person, not just online. They should meet these individuals face-to-face for training, and there should be screening measures in place to ensure that your mystery guest is experienced and professional.
  • Will you re-refer the same shopper to my location? If a mystery shopper is recognised, it negates the entire point of mystery shopping. Make sure that the same person will not return to your business week after week. A three-month waiting period before the same person returns is a good rule of thumb.
  • What can you expect during a restaurant mystery shop? Our restaurant secret shopper assesses food quality, service attentiveness, cleanliness, and overall ambiance.
  • How can hotel mystery shopping benefit your establishment? Our hotel secret shopper evaluates staff interaction, room cleanliness, amenities access, and check-in/out efficiency.
