Have you ever heard of a SECRET Shopper? I hadn’t until I read an article from a fellow travel blogger, and after reading, I decided to sign up. 

Essentially, a SECRET Shopper is a person who a company hires to visit a particular establishment and evaluate their customer service, food quality, and overall experience.

By signing up to become a SECRET Shopper, you can access a wide range of food establishments and try out different dishes without paying a cent. The best part is that joining the program is completely free, so you can enjoy these benefits immediately. Furthermore, many companies offer reimbursement for the meals you've paid for after a certain period of time, usually around two months. It costs nothing to join, allowing us to eat at some amazing places. (for free) Most companies reimburse you after about two months. 

Each job will have clear and specific instructions about the shop. I usually complete the observation in around 20 minutes.
