FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you understand features, workflow, and secure task handling with confidence.
What is the difference between mystery shopping and a guest satisfaction survey?
Guest satisfaction surveys capture how guests felt. Mystery shopping captures how your team actually performed against your defined service standards. For service quality management, mystery shopping is the more actionable tool.
How frequently should we conduct mystery shopping?
For most hotel operators, quarterly visits provide consistent trend data and allow teams time to improve between evaluations. For new openings or rebranding campaigns, more frequent visits over a shorter period are recommended.
Can mystery shopping cover cash integrity testing?
Yes — our Mystery & Integrity Audit programme specifically tests cash handling integrity alongside guest experience, including deposit management, paid-out controls, no-show charge accuracy, and refund process compliance.
