I've done one so far at a Popeye's that only had 2 employees working, so they were only doing drive-thru orders other than letting people inside for online orders. It was pretty easy to take the pictures considering they weren't focused on the front counter at all. I can see it being a little tricky under normal circumstances.

I just did Wingstop. The instructions little bit complicated. the last page did not spell all pictures that shall be taken. I just did one for outside of the store but questionnaire asking for two. For pizza shops it is very hard to take pictures inside. So I will try to take some shops that I am aware about layout inside and miss out places like Five Guys. There is no reason to pick them since they offer less pay than traditional Five Guys shops.

There are pizza shops on the board as well but they are from another company. They set not straight as well. For delivery shops I need to be near the location and can not do check in from my home.

I didn't realize there was a second set of QSR shops on Presto. I did 4 of the pizza shops and they were nice and easy but difficult to get. They flew off the board in my area.

I did a Starbucks which was accepted same day and paid a day later. I did McDonald's yesterday, waiting for approval.

One warning -- I also did a Chick-Fil-A but I somehow screwed up the 12-hour deadline and got locked out after only half the report was done. My contact there said that if it was still available after their "cooling off" period (24 hours) I could grab it again and use my same data/receipt/photo, but it was gone.

Other than that stupid and frustrating mistake I found the shops pretty easy.

What do you think is the point behind these particular shops? I know they do one in the summer time where the publish the data of the fastest drive-thru places. they want you to observe cars behind you and time them too.

What is the point of this particular scenario? who has the best app or process?

I think it would be ideal to get a panda from the "big I" and line it up with a panda on presto. doesn't seem to conflict, unless i'm missing something.

obviously you have to have the same scenario for it to work

There's one shop that's a pizza study through the MSC that does the summer study on drive-throughs.

There's a separate shop through another MSC. This one is the same MSC as the fast food Chinese food. You have to at least order food and a drink though. From my experience, this project manager specializes in e-commerce and mobile apps.

Pizza shops run by another MSC

You have to order a drink and a combo with these shops. You can not order a drink with the "I" shops. I was going to double dip on an online order shop I had scheduled but decided against it.

I tried a Starbucks nearby too, to chip away at my gift card balance. It got accepted with gift card payment. I took one picture of the whole building and another of the signage on the windows.

The pick-up process and pictures went by quick. The report itself and editing some of the photos took longer for me.

No QSR shops in my area

I did one yesterday and another today.

You need 6 photos: 2 outside (seems redundant), menu board, pickup area, bag with nothing open, food with everything open. Also you need 3 screenshots. And you probably have to do a minor edit on the photos to remove personal information. There's a good number of questions, but they're all pretty straightforward and you can always just re-open the app to double-check if you forgot.

It's not a great shop for $8, but if it's convenient and you want the food then it's fine.

My son wanted to do a pizza QSR shop tonight, but it was for delivery and we were in a strange town in a different state.

I picked up a Domino's one under the QSR umbrella of shops. Can't go wrong with Domino's mobile ordering. I hope! It's been a while since I've ordered pizza from a chain.

Wish there was some in my area

@canadianghetto

Yeah, I didn't think that all the way through. If they want a beverage for the chinese, then you would not be able to double dip.

I really don't touch Presto. I use the Presto website on the desktop to see all the Sassie jobs in my area or in an area I might be visiting. It's more for research. I can't be bothered with 12 hour rule or whatever nonsense. I'm just old school. So Presto is a great "research" tool for me only.

These flew off the map fast in my area! I'm also not understanding how it was picked up at the point in time. For example, last night at 8:00 p.m. I saw that there was a McDonald's shop for lunch time on a weekend. Lunchtime starts at 11:00 a.m., so I would have to wait until 11:30 pm the night before to accept the shop, because I would only have 12 hours to complete it. Yet somehow by 9pm, it was gone off the map. What could have happened there?

Welcome to Presto! It can be random. Sometimes there may be no reasoning to it.

I don't know what to say, except to do your due diligence when looking/deciding to pick these shops up.

I was able to get Chick-fil-A todays afternoon. There are still McDonalds and Burger Kings as well as Five Guys available. Not really eager to go to the first two and Five Guys I can get from regular MSC for better pay and reimbursement

I cracked and got Chipotle. Had flashbacks of getting locked out of their mobile app, but got it fixed. There's three within five miles of each other.

For me, it seems like when one half of the places turn off, then the other half turns on.

Do you really, after reading the comments here? I have some in my area, the time you get to do them is insufficient for the time of day that they need to be done. And when I saw 93 questions, I said forget it.

got another one for lunch at Wendy's. But I was able to pick it around 2:00AM. Still many McDonalds, Burger Kings and Chick-fil-A available for weekends only and Five Guys for weekdays.

If you take a shop that can't be done until 11:00am at 11:30pm and have 12 hours, you'd have maybe 20 minutes to submit it before it times out. I can't imagine doing something like that. I'd wait until the morning. As for the shops that got taken early, I'm guessing there will be shoppers who learned a lesson the hard way, or hopefully before they go to do the shop, since I assume you have to check in before doing the actual shop.

I did three since 11/11 and they all under "Awaiting Review" status. Some time they review them imidiately but not now.

I grabbed one for a Shake Shack near my work. The max expense is $15 along with an $8 pay. However, with what I had to order (burger, fries & drink), the expense came to over that amount. so I get reimbursed plus $6 and change now. Still okay with me because... free lunch.

I think the weekend ones might've taken longer to get approved. The last ones I completed got approved around five days after. Saw a familiar picky editor! First time in a while I got a clarification request via Presto, but all went well.

just read the note under each one: it may take up to 5 days for review. Today shop done 11/1 was reviewed.

What's the general opinion on these? Worth doing or stay away? They had a Dunkin shop near me for tomorrow in my Presto shops email that I was considering taking, although I just checked Presto and they're all gone, must be a limited number that can be taken at a time.
