A method and system for evaluating quality service though the use of anonymous
shoppers. The method and system provide executives and managers of retail operations
with an essentially objective evaluation of the performance of its business operations
through the use of data obtained by anonymous shoppers. The method formulates essentially
objective evaluation parameters for a business operation and composes essentially
objective questions based on parameters. Anonymous shoppers are trained to monitor
quality service and provide essentially objective responses. Key areas of quality
service are evaluated by responses to questions. Numerical ratings are assigned
to the responses using a weighted point system; these ratings are combined for
each key area of business operation. The resulting numerical ratings are further
combined for a single overall rating. The numerical ratings are entered into a
computer to generate one or more managerial reports.
