Presto Fastfood online orders

I wanted to share my recent experience with Presto doing the App and online orders for fast food restaurants. Unfortunately, I've noticed some troubling practices regarding payment. Despite completing assignments diligently, the company has been finding ways to avoid paying shoppers for their work. I had to submit an appeal for almost all of the shops i did.

Please exercise caution if you are considering mystery shopping for these type of shops. Ensure you keep thorough records of your assignments and communications. I hope this helps others avoid similar issues.

Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear. I've done five of these shops, where all have been accepted and paid. The ones I've done are usually the places that aren't shopped like Chipotle, Shake Shack, Starbucks.
I've tried to get a few of those jobs, but I see them the night before and there are bunches. The next morning when I try to claim one or two to do while I'm out and they are all gone. My son got a Slim Chickens shop, but only took a few of the pics and told me it was ok to drive away to go to the next job. I don't backtrack, especially when we've gone over the guidelines at least twice before we do the job.
For me, one or two restaurants will become available, then a different one or two will become available. Sometimes, they'll pop up again after the meal period starts. But I enjoyed shopping the places that aren't shopped and went through some gift card balances.
I did one of the coffee ones. It was pick up in store rather than drive-thu ones that I had been doing. I didn’t realize I had to take a picture of the menu board and a picture of the pick up area until I was filling the report out in my car. So I went back in and try to look smooth. smiling smiley

What were the reasons they gave to avoid paying? I've done 7 of these shops, all 6 were paid, 1 awaiting review. So far, only one was returned for additional clarification, but was accepted shortly after the 2nd submission. What do we need to be on the lookout for?

No drive-thru for me. But as another shopper put it, while doing the fifth shop, it did sink in how this sort of reminded me of a condensed Jack-in-the-Box shop from back in the day.
Have yet to see any shops like these in my area. I'd probably be all over them. As I'm usually on some sort of route when Presto-ing, additional stops for meals would be a welcome addition.

Cool, You're not inundated with Batch ##'s shops on Presto? Between the AAA and the Batch ##s I can't find anything else on Presto. I have to filter the list to see the red letter gas stations and the site experiences now that all of the MMP's are gone.
I did recently one and after 5 days it was accepted. However a few hours later it was rejected. When I aske reviewer what has happens she told me that accepted was automatically but reviewer rejected because the menu picture was not full.
