Can you evaluate my Oshawa business during a busy event night?

You choose a start date when you book, and the visit happens within the following five days. To ask for a particular evening, such as an event night at the Tribute Communities Centre, add it in the “Anything else worth flagging?” box and we pass it to your agent. The report shows exactly when the visit took place and covers wait times, greetings, order accuracy and the overall experience.

Do you cover Durham Region outside Oshawa?

Yes. You can book visits in nearby communities such as Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Clarington by entering the business address when you book; each visit goes to an available agent near that address. If you run several locations, choose the same focus areas for each so the reports are easy to compare.

Are the mystery shoppers actually based in Oshawa?

Yes. We only assign shoppers who live within their stated travel radius of your business, so the person walking into your Oshawa location is a real local customer who has no connection to your business. We never use call-center or AI-generated reports.

What kinds of businesses can be mystery shopped in Oshawa?

Most often: restaurant, retail, cafe, gym, plus gyms, dental practices, cannabis dispensaries, and other service businesses across Oshawa. If you can buy something or be served at your business, we can shop it.

How long until I get the mystery shopping report?

Reports for Oshawa missions are typically delivered within 7–14 days of booking. We schedule the visit window, dispatch a vetted local shopper, and QA the report internally before it lands in your inbox, with photos and a clear pass/fail on the checks you picked.

Can I tell the mystery shopper what to focus on at my Oshawa business?

Absolutely. At booking you choose up to 5 specific things the shopper should pay extra attention to (for example "did they suggest a wine pairing", "was the bathroom clean", or "did the cashier mention the loyalty program") on top of the standard service, cleanliness, and product checks.

Is mystery shopping legal in Ontario?

Yes. Mystery shopping is a standard, legal market-research practice in Ontario and every Canadian province. Shoppers act exactly like regular customers: they buy, observe, and report. They never deceive in a way that creates legal exposure for you.
