Grocery Store & Supermarket Mystery Shopping

Grocery Store & Supermarket Mystery Shopping & Customer Experience Solutions

Reality Based Group knows that you strive to make your customer’s experience as positive as possible. We can help you turn an average trip to the supermarket into something that will convert your customers into loyal, repeat shoppers.

We can customize our solutions to fit your specific needs. We evaluate all major areas of your grocery store (in-store and online) to gather the data to help you know where your employees and systems excel and where there’s opportunity for improvement.

We can also customize our services to focus on specific departments or areas to meet your current needs.

Grocery Stores - whole foods

Departments

Grocery, Produce, Meat / Seafood, Bakery, Prepared Foods, Wine & Beer

Grocery Stores and Supermarkets have a variety of departments and we recognize the need to evaluate these different areas.

We evaluate product availability, cleanliness in the aisles, organization, safety, etc.

We interact with employees, ask questions, and note the availability of help and quality of service provided.

We inspect the restrooms and evaluate them for ease of access, cleanliness, and stock levels.

At RBG, we know it’s essential to visit all of your major departments, produce, meat, seafood, bakery, prepared foods, etc. We shop each area gathering important data on your various protocols and customer experience levels.

Grocery Store Checkout Process

Traditional Face to Face Checkout

We evaluate the entire checkout process focusing on lines, wait time, cashier interaction, bagging, safety protocols, and payment process.

Self-Checkout

Self-checkout has become ubiquitous and customers have had a wide range of experiences. How do your customers feel about your store’s self-checkout process?

We evaluate the lines, ease of use of the checkout equipment, availability, and use of the bagging area, payment process options, and ability to get employee help when needed.

Online Grocery Shopping | Customer Experience

Online grocery shopping has dramatically increased in popularity. You might have good in-store customer experience and loyalty, but how do those customers enjoy your online store?

Will they have a similar experience or will they find the store with the best and easiest online experience? This data is just as critical.

“U.S. online grocery sales grew 22% in 2019 and, propelled by high demand from nationwide COVID-19 lockdowns, stand to surge about 40% this year, according to the Coresight Research U.S. Online Grocery Survey 2020.”

Over the past couple of years, the online grocery shopping rate has more than doubled. Those figures climbed from 22% to 36.8% for actual online purchasers and then in the 2020 survey, those numbers jumped to 52% for actual online grocery purchasers and 62.5% for planned online grocery buyers.

It’s more important than ever to have data on your online customer experience. RBG can evaluate everything from the online ordering customer experience to the pick-up or delivery process.

RBG will gather and analyze the data so you can rest assured that your customers are getting the best possible online grocery shopping experience.
