Lorraine and her team have been a joy to work with over the last 4 years. Their ability and willingness to change and update the reports as our focuses have changed has been fantastic. The reports do not over complicate and get to the heart of what we are after; maintaining great service and quality in all our restaurants. Further their Mystery Diners always give informative, direct and useful feedback which is exactly what we want. All in all we couldn’t be happier"

The willingness to change and adapt the reporting to suit the changing needs of the business has helped us focus on what's really important in hospitality, the customer.

We began using Acumen for our Mystery Dining Programme in 2017, and I am glad that we did. They are highly responsive, from helping us to design the format of our report and weighting of the questions, to providing top-notch mystery diners, whose insightful comments are spot-on. I highly recommend them
