Can you visit my Winnipeg business on a busy night or during Festival du Voyageur?

You can select a start date when booking, with visits normally scheduled within the following five days. If you want a particular day, such as a Jets game night or Festival du Voyageur, include that request in the “Anything else worth flagging?” box. Specific timing depends on agent availability.

Do you cover the rest of the Winnipeg area?

We accept bookings across Winnipeg, including St. Vital, Transcona, Fort Garry and St. James, and nearby communities such as Steinbach and Selkirk. Enter your business address when booking so we can determine agent availability for the assignment.

Are the mystery shoppers actually based in Winnipeg?

Yes. We only assign shoppers who live within their stated travel radius of your business, so the person walking into your Winnipeg 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 Winnipeg?

Most often: restaurant, cafe, retail, salon, plus gyms, dental practices, cannabis dispensaries, and other service businesses across Winnipeg. 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 Winnipeg 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 Winnipeg 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 Manitoba?

Yes. Mystery shopping is a standard, legal market-research practice in Manitoba 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.
