We wanted a way to manage our standards within our restaurants, and although we get a huge number of reviews, these miss the specific detail, which makes HGEM's Mystery Guest Audits such a huge help. Their reporting also allows us to see both regional and individual site trends, which allows us to create actionable change.

It’s been amazing for us, there is no other way we could get product specific feedback without using our survey. It gives us an indication of how we're doing, as so much of the experience is out of our hands e.g. with delivery. We get to see what our guests are saying, and have been able to make improvements to dishes and removed any that are underperforming.
