Almost 2 Decades
in Service

Established in May 2006 as Girl Friday Solutions, we started out as a one-woman show – working with hotels that needed someone to assist with marketing and promotions on a part-time or contract basis.

Working with such a wide range of venues gave us invaluable insight into what good customer service means, and why a lot of businesses struggle to raise that bar – and in turn, get more bookings and make more sales.

Regulars can’t give objective or unbiased feedback, because they get better service by default (there’s a relationship between them and the staff). Online reviews are unreliable, as people generally only leave them when things are great or terrible, and tend to be infused with emotion. As a result? Owners and managers can struggle to see where they’re crushing it, and where they need to improve.

Ideal solution

A way to get clear, detailed, to the point feedback from someone who experienced your business and team on an average day.

 It was so powerful and made such a huge difference that over time, our business started to shift until we were exclusively providing this service – and needed a name change! Fourteen years on renamed Mystery Management, we are now providing mystery shoppers to over 3000 venues and stores nationally – businesses of all sorts and sizes. Some of our clients include airports, liquor stores, pubs, RSLs, clubs, restaurants, bars, cafes – we even serve security companies and public transport providers.

Our team

We are a network of 9,000+ Mystery Shoppers across Australia, delivering consistent, nationwide coverage across a wide range of industries.

Behind the scenes, our experienced administration team ensures every project runs smoothly – from briefing and scheduling through to quality control and reporting. Our editors are aligned to specific sectors, allowing for deeper industry knowledge, stronger insights, and greater consistency across all client deliverables.

Many of our team members began as Mystery Shoppers themselves and remain active in the field today, giving us a practical, on-the-ground understanding of the customer experience.
