What is Secret Shopping

Secret shopping is when an expert visits your business, at a time when employees do not know who they are. They "shop" the business the same was a normal customer would. At Ammonite Hospitality, we specialise in the art of secret shopping. Our discreet and professional experts conduct comprehensive evaluations of customer experiences, providing you with valuable insights to elevate your business. We ensure an anonymous booking process and deliver detailed reports from both customer and expert perspectives. Our dedicated team then collaborates with you to implement effective recommendations and drive positive change.

I'm Alex, and I Understand Your Problems

I understand all of the problems hotels and restaurants face on a daily basis. I understand just how hard it is to implement all of your ideas when you are deep in the day to day of running your business. 

That is why I founded Ammonite Hospitality, which is not your average consultancy. Our goal is to work with you to help your business run smoother, have happier guests and ultimately make more money. We provide a wide variety of services from secret shopping to audits and even complete management solutions for hotels, caravan sites and restaurants.

Our Approach

01

Booking

Between an agreed timeframe, we will place a reservation at your establishment. This will be under another name, so you will not know it is us conducting the secret shop

03

Written Report

Our expert secret shopper will write up a detailed report. This will include many details such as; how was the welcome, how easy was the booking process, is it perceived as value for money, and much more.

05

On Going Support

If your business would like an ongoing relationship with Ammonite, we would love to talk discuss this

02

Arrival

Depending on the type of business and secret shop, we could send an individual, couple or a family. We believe in order to get the most honest result, your secret shop has to be conducted by your target audience. 

04

Presentation

We will then present our findings to you, the good, the bad and the ugly, along with a list of recommendations to help your business thrive. Depending on the scope of work, this will either be over Zoom, or in person.
